Remodeling (Not just the kitchen)

So Micah bought a house last fall and its a bit of a fixer-upper. The set-up is great - its close to downtown and all of our friends, but the kitchen definitely needed some work. So far we've taken out an entire wall and put in new counters, cabinetry, tile, and appliances. It's really starting to come together. Every weekend we've taken on a new project - this weekend it was painting. (Don't worry, I talked to the doc and its ok for me to paint prego as long as I'm in a well-ventilated room). Each weekend ends with simulatenous feelings of accomplishment and exhaustion. Last night Micah and I started talking about how much our lives have changed since we moved into the house and found out I am pregnant. Our weekends used to consist of bottomless mimosas and bloody marys, not endless trips to Lowes and Home Depot. I've come to the realization that we are doing more than remodeling our house - we're remodeling our lives too.
