So Fernando and I have been enjoying a week long vacation in the walls of our own home. We had decided that since buying a home and spending most of our money on trying to fix it up (as I am sure you can see from the pictures below that it needs to be done) we cant really justify spending more money on traveling. So instead we enjoyed a little vacation at home. It was nice Fernando and I spent some time together being lazy as well as each of us spent some time doing things on our own.
We were both able to sleep in which is nice especially since we are so used to being up in the morning at 5a.m.. In fact this last week was perfect weather for sleeping in. Rainy weather. Cuddling up in your blankets and watching a nice movie is ideal on a rainy morning, and it was really nice to actually be able to do it other then be at work thinking about how it would be nice.
Something else Fernando and I were able to do is start on the adventures of laying wood laminate. So the plan for the last couple weeks was for Fernando's dad, Fernando Sr. to come over and help us lay this flooring due to the fact that he has expertise and experience in this process. Well Fernando Sr. ended up having to have knee surgery due to some broken cartilage and things. It all happened so sudden. Last thing I knew he was having physical therapy for his knee and now he is getting surgery done. Well long story a little bit shorter. He had his surgery and is doing great, but unfortunately for us he wont be working on any flooring in the near future. So with that being said Fernando and I took it upon us the task of laying the floor. We both did our homework that is for sure. We both took time to read the instructions yes I know I didn't studder we read the instructions (that is one of the things I love about Fernando he will do his research) and Fernando borrowed his dads saw, which honestly I was a little leery and nervous about Fernando using and whether or not he had the capabilities when it comes to power tools. In our 4 years of marriage I have never witnessed Fernando using power tools, other then a drill to hang pictures on the wall or such. So lets just say my confidence in his power tool knowledge wasn't very high. I know, I know...that is terrible how can you not have faith in your husband. Welllll its difficult I am somewhat of a perfectionist and I want this house to be beautiful..floor included. So I decided to get over my fears and just have a little faith in Fernando, and lets just see what he can do, and well he proved me wrong. Fernando has just opened the door for projects to come. He knows how to handle his power tools! I know this sounds silly, but it is comforting to know that if we had to build an ark...well Fernando could hold his own. Although I really don't want to pay for the materials for a project like that.
