What a week!!

Finally! Basement is one step away from being complete. This week has been a crazy week and weekend! Last Saturday Mike, his brother, uncle, and co-worker were all over here finishing up the ceiling and electrical work. Boy! We could not have done that without their help!! We now have a ceiling put in and paint on the walls!! We went with a green from Menard's called Argan Tree. We loved it at first, then thought twice about it. But, it's growing on me. We are getting the carpet put in on Tuesday, so that will be our determining factor. This basement has been our life for the past month, we will definitely treat ourselves soon.

This coming weekend is my cousin Jeff and his fiance's wedding!! My mother is coming up Wednesday and my dad and sister are coming up Thursday!!! (that is one of the reasons why we are so frantic about getting this basement up-Em needs a place to sleep!!) I can't wait to see my family- it has been way to long! 
Everything else is going well for us up in the midwest! Tornados are popping up all over the place.  There was one about 30min away last night.  Since we have moved to Burnsville, we have heard about 6 Tornado sirens!!   At first Mike and I sat in our basement for about 15min, because we didn't know what to expect- now...I stand outside on our deck and watch the storm!  Otherwise weather has been in the 80's sometimes 90's, but raining  a lot.  Sometimes I feel like I moved to Seattle. 

I attached some pictures of what we have done with the pant and I will put the finished product up in about a week or so. Until then-The Beno's are doing fine!
