Just a few more days

I spent pretty much all day today painting. I'm exhausted. I started this morning around 8:30 and now it's 11:30pm. I worked on our team mural in the hallway leading into the kids activity room and I also spent a lot of time painting 3 year old Meredith's new bedroom two shades of pink. Meredith is Amber and Louis's daughter. She's adorable. Hilarious really. Everything she says is "you must do this" or "you must not do this". She spends quite a bit of time in time out if you can't tell. One of her other funny things is that she starts and ends a request with please. For instance, "Please Jamey can I have some more of that please". I guess she thinks if she doubles up on the pleases she might be more likely to get what she wants. I don't know, it works on me:)

Tomorrow is our last day here. We have quite a bit to finish up on the project we've started and our goal is to be done by 230 when the kids get home from school. It's a big goal. We've still got a lot to do on finishing the addition to the O'Tools flat. I'm sure we'll get it done though. We're a pretty hardworking team. Tomorrow night we're hosting a pizza party for everyone and that should be a lot of fun. We'll probably take a gazillion photos too. I think collectively we already have over 1000 and they're mostly all saved on my computer, so get ready for the hour long slideshow. I promise I'll try not to bore you guys too much:) By reading the blogs, you already know most of what I would tell you anyway. This way you'll get to see what it all really looks like.

Well, I'll be home in just a couple of days. I can't wait to see you all. And I can't wait to work out. I feel like I've gained a hundred pounds. That was so not my plan by the way. I was supposed to be going the other direction. Oh well, what are you gonna do? I can definitely say that I don't plan to pick up a paint brush for awhile. Thank goodness we got Matt's house painted before I left. I'm all painted out.

I might not get a chance to write again until I back. So just in case I don't, thanks to everyone who's been following along on this journey. It's certainly been the experience of a lifetime and I appreciate all of your support. I couldn't have made it through these two weeks here without your emails and your prayers. I look forward to seeing each and everyone of you very soon after I get back. Especially you Matt:)

Love,

Jamey
