Crazy Renovations

Needless to say we have been extremely busy lately...hence the no posting. As of now Logan and I are out of the house basically every night (Logan every night except one) and we are in the middle of finishing our basement! *hooray* Logan is currently playing for two bands in town (one band just has one gig he is playing in which is tomorrow night) the other band he is a permanent fixture in and they are quite busy with at least 1-2 gigs per month, so he is usually practicing with them at least once a week. Then he is our worship leader at church so we have church functions 3 days of the week and then he's actually taking a self defense course on fridays and bagpipe lessons on tuesdays. That leaves him Saturday night, which usually books up as well. It's been insane.
Renovations have been coming along nicely though! we are just about done with the drywall, i will be doing the last bit tomorrow night and then our mudder and taper is coming in monday. When he is finished by thursday, we will begin painting, flooring and tiling and hopefully have at least all the tiling done by next weekend. We have about 3 weeks until our friend moves in so we are just boogeying now!
 Logan and the first wall he framed! 

 First bedroom framed in
 Drywalling halfway done - 1st bedroom
 Bedroom section under the stairs. The guy who did our drywall spent three hours alone on that section. He did a good job though!
 The doors to the 2nd bedroom (left) and the bathroom. Laudnry room is the room on the righ side. He hadn't cut the drywall around the door at this point My back is towards the stairs
 Main family room area. Stairs are at my back to the right


 2nd bedroom beside the bathroom - it's quite a small bedroom but will work for an office/music room for now.
 The door from the second bedroom into the main family area
 Looking into the HUGE bathroom - wasn't intended to be this big but due to some careless planning by the builder's it was either a bathroom with a laundry room combined (making the bathroom quite small) or a HUGE bathroom and a small laundry room in the furnace room. We took the latter.
 Bathtub/shower alcove.
 the seriously huge closet beside the bathtub alcove
 looking out from the bathroom into the main family area, nice "hallway" into the bathroom
 The bathroom vanity! I LOVE the top. The top didn't look like this in the picture and i was a little bit worried but it turned out great. The actual cabinet portion is a dark chocolate brown. I'm very excited about it!

Logan and I also went out for our early 2nd anniversary celebration tonight. Tonight is the last night for the next two weeks (until after our anniversary) that we would be able to do anything so we went for dinner, then to a movie (Star Trek: Into Darkness - AMAZING!!) and then for ice cream. It was quite wonderful! Logan has a gig tomorrow night and saturday night, then we have a going away party on sunday for our dear friends the Tyler's as they move to California. Logan is then heading off to Montana for 4 days on Monday to go tour the Gibson factory (Taylor factory last month, Gibson this month lucky duck!) Then when he gets back my parents are coming that same day for four days to help us with the tiling in the bathroom and painting etc. Then I am hitching a ride to Edmonton and going on a work trip through Jasper and Banff for a week. Then we have 1 week at home and then our friend moves in. June is going to go by SO fast...So life is...crazy at the moment. Finding it hard to breathe, but i also find i get bored without the busyness. I was off two days in a row this week and was quite bored the second day, so we'll see how we manage once things slow down a bit!
That is our update as of now - more to come in the near future I'm sure!
