Ta Da!

So after hours and hours, and late night after late night, my basement is finally finished! It took
us for what seemed like a decade, but overall, I am excited with how everything turned out. The color looks a lot better in person than it does in these pictures. The chocolate brown couches aren't as dark as they look in this picture, so they look better with the wall. Even though we ran into so many problems with that blasted wallpaper, it's amazing what a difference it makes now that it is gone. I knew I hated it, but I didn't realize just how suffocating it was. Now I feel like I have a huge basement and a lot of empty walls. Before I couldn't even imagine hanging anything up on the walls because everything would look terrible with flowered wallpaper. Now I feel like I need to get thinking about what to put on them--it looks so plain! I am so grateful to my mom for coming and helping me and running to ACE and Home Depot every 5 minutes! It was nice to have someone there to help make all the decision while Jeff was at work.

While my mom was here we also managed to have some fun. We took my sister to some of the parks and to the storytime at the library. This is splash park. It is so fun! The best part about Wyoming is that nothing is ever crowded. In Utah, I would imagine this park being bombarded with kids and families, but here you can park anywhere and you have pretty much every place to yourself.
