College progress and basement progress

Well - Kyrie made it to Grove, and I have heard that the camera is returning with lots of pictures.  Apparently Grove was started in the 1800's and the buildings are absolutely beautiful.  As they built new buildings, they retained the style of the original buildings.  Tom said it was beautiful.  Her roommate is Hillary, and Tom said she is very sweet.  

Kyrie called twice to let us know that things are going well.  She is tired and went to bed.  First night at college!

Tom called a couple of hours ago.  It's 11:30, and he's hoping to be home in the next half hour.  He is so exhausted!  We are trying to find another way for Jathan to get to school so that Tom doesn't have to drive another 9 hours on Sunday!

Lorien's room is almost done.  It needs baseboards, but I haven't the funds for such, so it will probably not have them for a long time.  But, her walls and floor are done!  I got the top part of Aleya's painted tonight in hopes to finish it on Saturday.  She'll be excited to come home to a green room.  

So, all the sheet rock is up.  Two of the three rooms left have been mudded twice, but one hasn't been mudded at all.  We are still missing two closet doors, though they will probably be on hold for a while.  

Each day, I try to get a little bit more done, but it's hard to work on construction after a full day at work.  It's coming along.  

Pictures later!
