The long awaited rugs!

A close up shot... Can you see the tint of cranberry tweed?

Well, the new rugs are down.We are very happy with them and boy what an improvement from the old ones!!! We are pretty much unpacked but still have a few small things left to put away. Boy would it have been so much easier if we had either a garage or basement to put our stuff in as opposed to storing everything in both bathrooms and the kitchen!We could not get in any of the three rooms because of the boxes and all our stuff. Kyle and I keep a pretty neat home so we were not loving living in such a state of chaos. Even Rosie wasn't herself!!

Above is a view of our living/dining area.

My best friend Megan (oldest friend since grammar school) was the first person to see the finished products and she loved them!! She came over for dinner last night. It is very race for us to do much on a Friday night but I had made a yummy pasta salad and Megan didn't have plans and I REALLY wanted her to see the rugs! Anyway, she came over and we had dinner, played a little Sequence and had some white wine! Rosie was thrilled to have a visitor, especially her Auntie Meg!

This is our bedroom and Rosie's bed. The rugs even go with Rosie's bed

Just had to show how well the rugs go with the kitchen tile that Kyle installed last winter.
Tami & Moriah can you tell how much better they look????

On a different note, I found a job that I'm going to apply for. It is with HUD, the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development, which is another federal agency. I've been @ my current job for almost 5 years and I love the people, the flexibility & the pay but there is a lot I don't like. For instance, our Director and also the job isn't hands on enough for me. The job with HUD is for an"Equal Opportunity Specialist." I'd be dealing with various types of housing complaints. Anyway, it seems like something I'd be interested in. The thought of switching jobs and starting something new is really scary to me. However, I know that change is a good thing and I've given my current job 5 years & I don't see myself growing with the agency. Now I just need to get my butt in gear and apply for the job b4 the 29th.

Overall, our weekend was good. On Saturday we ran around doing our weekly errands and on Sunday my mother, sister Megan and 2 of her 3 kids came over for lunch & to check out the rugs. We hung out at the pool for a few hours and then our niece (Lauren-9) stayed with us for a few hours. We went on a few errands with her and then took her to dinner @ Chili's. She also helped me paint my toenails :) We had a lot of fun with Little Lauren!

Well, that is it from here folks! Hope you all have a great week!
