The Bathroom

You should know,  it's one thing to buy a few things to hang on the wall.  It's another thing all together to know how to arrange them.  With another opinion and after they had sat on the floor for a few weeks with Audrey reminding me daily that I needed to decorate her room.  I finally got these babies hung. They look beautiful.  

 This bathroom has been a nightmare.  It was Red.  A little too bold for me, and it made the bathroom so dark.  When Paul's parents were here we started peeling the paint off the walls because it was coming off in huge chunks.  I figured It was a win because it would allow us to start fresh.  Luckily we were able to finish half the bathroom while Paul's Parents were here.  The other half has had me sitting up here for hours alone chipping paint off in the middle of the night.  To be honest Paul has done his fair share too.  I just have more time at home.  I'm happy to report that I'm getting closer.  

I've been really pushing for this bathroom to get finished.  Maybe because I feel like it's the one thing holding me back from moving on to the next step in my life.  

We've decided that we want to adopt.  We're working to start an adoption profile on adoption.com.  I'm not going to say much about it, except for that I feel really good about it.  It's the first thing in a really long time that I have felt good about.  Why is the bathroom holding me back?  I keep thinking that having open light switches and plugs might not look very good to someone coming to do a home study.  I'm hoping to finish this week and then schedule the home study for next week.  

Wish me luck as I move into something new, and something that is a little scary for me.  It's mostly scary because I feel like every attempt I've made at having another child has yielded nothing but more pain in my heart, and a reminder every month that I currently can't have children.  This brings me renewed hope, but I'm moving cautiously as to avoid any let downs.  This time I'm relying on my faith and the spirit to move me.  We'll see what happens.
