What the What????

So my husband of pure awesomeness dug up our floor on Wed. before he started his long shifts at work for the weekend. On Mon. Timmy the plumber came over and piped out everything, Ryan and I loaded all the broken up cement and hauled it off, Ryan came back, covered in the trenches, and then Ryan and Brett covered it all back up with cement.....all in one day! No more hiking to do laundry....yay! And now he almost has the whole bathroom framed in! What a guy!!!!
In the meantime we got to celebrate Stryder's (my nephew) 7th birthday!!!! Happy Birthday buddy!!!

Wonderful Home Decor......

Don't you just love our new decor???? I LOVE having dirt piled in my basement, love it, LOVE it I say! We are finally finishing our basement and we have to plumb for our bathroom. Ryan spent all day yesterday jackhammering and busting out cement. I carried buckets full of broken up cement up the stairs and outside until Mark, our awesome friend came to take my place and help Ryan with the digging also. I do not like these kind of things and I am not loving all the dust and dirt that flew around downstairs that I am going to have to clean up, what a disaster!!! But it will be worth it when everything is finished. We are just excited to get things moving and actually having a basement we can enjoy.

Pretty. I know what you all are thinking, can Ryan come do this to our house? It's all the new rage!

This is what I looked like when I went down to see what Ryan was actually up to. (This is just a reenactment photo.)
On another note, Ryan and I have started running. No particular reason for this other than to be active and get in shape. Ryan started 6 weeks ago and I started 5 weeks ago. We both are learning to love it. And no we do not go together, there is NO way my short little legs can keep up with Ryan and his long legs and strides. We are just proud of ourselves for doing this consistently for this long. Ryan runs 3 miles every day and I am only at 2.7 miles, but we are continually upping our progress. For me this is huge.....I have never had great endurance for these types of things, and I suffer from anemia and fatigue most of the time, so I am happy with my success so far. Slow and steady wins the race, right? Well that's all folks, now you know about the Jones' awesomely boring life for the month of March!
