Thirty Thursday's {19}

If you could live anywhere, where would it be and why?

Abby:
If I could live anywhere, hmm....I suppose it would be a toss up between a tropical island and Becky's basement. If I could be on perpetual vacation, there would be very little that could bring me down. I know Becky's basement sounds silly, but it's a nice basement and I could be a few yards from her at all times and Alex would come, too. I grew up next door to my aunt. So, my mom and aunt were (seemingly) always together (however, they will quickly point out that that's not the case, and they don't eat every meal together) and I would like to always be with my sister...but I'm not to sure that she, Jared or Alex would like this arrangement. 

Alex: 
I would live at (insert our address) so I could always live with Abby, and we've done a lot of work and I just want to stay and enjoy it. 


*Editor's note: Alex's response is not very creative and I (Abby) assumed we were to choose a different location. But, I do like and enjoy our new little ranchalow with Alex.

Floors

Our Kitchen floors were not attractive...at all. They were scratched, stained and just worn out.

After the wall came out there was a large space where there was no flooring, just the sub-flooring. So, a new floor was on our to do list. Alex's dad is the handiest of handy men and was eager to help us. The floor went down in one (long) day. But, Eric, Sue and Alex did a great job and I tried to help, but ended up getting in the way, so I was on vacuum duty. I think the pictures speak for themselves...


We used Pergo and I think it looks fantastic. They did a great job. On day two Eric and Sue came back to help lay the quarter round and base boards. I know for certain that we couldn't have done it with out their help and we can't thank them enough. But, thank you so much! Hopefully, we can help you with your house soon!

Thirty Thursday's {18}

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are eagerly anticipating the New Year. This question wasn't a hard one for Alex, but it definitely took me some thought.

What is your favorite professional sport?

Abby:
My favorite professional sport.....is a compilation of a lot  of sports: The Summer Olympics. They're so good and they're not the traditional ESPN covered sports. I like to watch the diving, swimming, running and gymnastics most. Although, I did enjoy watching the Crew teams.

Alex:
To watch or to play? To watch is football, specifically the Rams. I know, they're not the greatest team, but they're my team. To play? Golf.
