gardenmom5 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) remodeling: two bathrooms remodeled, including the jacuzzi tub that's been sitting in my garage for eight years is finally getting used. laundry room floor replaced. new baseboard/door molding and the last flush doors replaced. (yippie. I *really* like it. every time I see the baseboard, all I can think is how much I like it and feel peaceful because it reminds me of an aunts house I spent so much time in as a small child.) jatoba floor installed in my bedroom. It's gorgeous. 2dd started pharm school formal diagnosis for 3ds so we can get him in therapy trip to oahu with 3ds - never been there before Thanksgiving wasn't at my house :party: THAT is something to celebrate!

Grover Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 1) we survived the earthquakes - it was a near thing in Feb, but all of those nearest and dearest to us made it out alive and all the things that so nearly 'could have been' weren't. 2)our home and property are undamaged 3) we've managed to get insurance for our building works and it's due to start SOON! 4) having DS assessed has answered some questions and opened some doors - and given us peace of mind 5) deciding to homeschool has taken a lot of pressure off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Two shows I performed in: A Tale of Two Cities (I played M. Gaspard and a revolutionary) The Sound of Music (I was Sister Berthe, my ds was a Nazi) Spending time with a group of Japanese teenagers affected by the tsunami. We went on several outings, including a two-day trip to the Grand Canyon and other locations. We made some new friends, learned some Japanese, and really enjoyed ourselves. We continue to keep in touch with some of them long-distance. Our vacation in California was wonderful! We went snorkeling, went to the zoo, relaxed on the beach, ate good food, saw seals and sea lions. There's been a lot of stress the second half of the year, so thanks for reminding me that there have been some great times, too.
