Handyman

So it turns out Noel is quite the handyman. His parents were nice enought to let us have his old desser, but it didn't match Grace's room decor so we thought we would take on a refinishing project. Though it was more work then he thought it would be, we are both very satisfied with the results. We didn't take a before picture, but lets just say it didn't look like this.








We are so happy with how it turned out that we are thinking of maybe doing it again if we find an entertainment center or cofee table we like on Craig's list or a garage sale.
In the Video Noel takes you on a tour of Grace's room, which he feels is the best room in the house. It is a pretty nice room though it isn't as elaborate as some kids rooms, we did it on a budget (though the glider was a splurge -- I would highly recommend it to anyone on the tall side). We also kept in mind that we are moving again this summer so painting was out of the question. But Noel did paint the art work on Grace's wall.



Grace is also still very intersted in music and was excited to try out Dad's clarinet.

Do you guys know where you are moving yet?

Love the room and like "the ashdowns" I was curious about where you are moving too.

Looks great! I like taking tours of other people's houses, so thanks! :) (I'm being serious, not sarcastic)
Hope Primary is going well! We have yet to receive callings in our new ward, but we'll see how long that lasts...

We don't know for sure yet (we'll know feb 12) our first choice is Japan but probably won't get it b/c a spot doesn't come up often, 2nd choice is Oklahoma City (Tinker AFB)-- back toward home. I'll be excited either way.
