Bathroom Remodel

On Friday night Matthew and I started demolition on our main bathroom. There was some water damage in the floor around the toilet and it was time to tear things up and fix the problem. These first two pictures are of the bathroom before the remodel.



This is a lovely picture of the plastic molding around the room and the nice caulking job.

Me taking apart the sink. I ended up taking out the sink, vanity, toilet and some of the floor before Matthew got home. I felt very accomplished :-)







Next up is tiling the floor and having our bath resurfaced. Then the rest will come together pretty easily (knock on wood).

I AM A NURSE!!!!!!

Last Tuesday (Sept,1) I took the dreaded NCLEX exam to get my nursing license. Well praise the Lord, I passed and now I am officially Nurse Gault. I do have a job lined up at Legacy Meridian Park hospital as a Operating room nurse. Because of all the paper work needing to be done on my behalf there, it looks like I won't be starting for another couple weeks. This means I can get a lot of house projects done and also read some books for the fun of it!!!

Here is the computer screen showing that I passed. Yes, I ran around the house screaming and crying. At least I was alone in my rantings :-)

The beautiful sunset the night before I took the NCLEX. My mom and I stayed in Grants Pass with some wonderful friends!! Thanks Martha and Doris for letting us stay with you.

Sitting in the car with my Authorization to test letter.

Walking into the testing center. My heart was racing at this point, but when I stepped inside I had a wonderful peace from the Lord. Thank you to everyone who prayed for me.

The Haushalters come to visit

A couple weeks ago, our good friends Jon, Katie and their adorable little guy come down from Seattle for a visit. It was good to see them and of course, I love holding and snuggling this cutie pie. Thanks for the fun time Jon and Katie!!!
