Whew! We have been so busy with the kitchen since Tuesday night. We got everything sanded and then we started painting that night...ending up in bed around 1:30 a.m. We are still in the process of finishing up painting and making sure we have enough coats of white on the doors. Painting things white can be a little tricky, especially if they were darker before. I'm loving the colors that we picked out and can't wait to put the new hardware on.
Here is my hard workin' man hard at work! Such a blessing he is to me everyday.
Mental health orientation at Vernon was alright. We walked in scared and walked out even more afraid. We found out the place has no weapons of by kind and that there are no guards behind the fences.
Promising, huh?
Not to worry though! Thanks to my sister-in-law I know a few maneuvers in case of an attack. They informed us that the staff outnumbers the patients so that was a good thing to hear. I also found out that I, along with my friend Michelle, am in the building that houses the patients who have mental retardation along with a mental illness who have committed crimes and are incompetent to stand trial. Talk about scary... But I'm really hoping this is a good experience and I know the school would never put us in harms way.
A student has never been harmed at this facility--this is for you Mom because I figure I would get a phone call once you read this! Again, please keep me and the girls in y'alls prayers-- specifically safety because I don't want to have to bust out my special moves!

This is the spare bedroom now! It doesn't look too bad BUT notice the small pathway. This is the only space to walk in the room right now! I can't wait to get everything back and organized but until then please refrain from calling Hoarders on us :)
Happy Thursday!
