Got Junk?

Well...we found out we have plenty, or I should say "had"...thanks to our wonderful crew from 1-800-Got Junk.

Yes, I know...I promised pictures of my new Office, then pictures of our Master and Master Bath ...well, once again being a MOM to one (well two really) fabulous daughter got in the way.

Where to begin?  The beginning maybe?  We purchased our home June 1, 1993.  Our oldest, and only at the time, was 2 1/2.  Since then we have added another daughter, and a few more animals.  Add A LOT of DIY projects and you have our basement...full of stuff junk.  While at one point in time the junk was organized, yes I had organized junk.  It no longer was, and was grating on my last nerve.

Our youngest has begged for us to clear it out, so she could set up shop, and invite her friends to hang out for movie nights.  We do have a TV room upstairs, but hardly the spot for 15 or more teens.  Well, as I have mentioned...she is in NYC (Brooklyn) for a Mission Trip with the youth choir from church.  So...mom convinced begged pleaded twisted daddy's arm to finally get it done.  She will be a senior in high school this fall afterall, it's now or nevah. I think the biggest motivating factor was that child's bright smile despite the year she'd just had.  As most of you know, she has suffered from severe migraine headaches for a couple years now that had progressively gottten worse.  A lot of doctors visits, MRIs (to be sure the benign cyst she has on her brain had not grown as 1st suspected), medications (some that worked, some not so much), missed school (25 days to be exact, not counting days she went in late or left early), days spent in bed, the trial and error with her diet and sleep patterns, and the stresss that went with it all (making it worse).

I tell you all of this because despite ALL of IT...she still smiles, made Honor Roll, Scholar Athlete, coached a 12 year club team to a tournament win and 10th place finish in the region, and is taking time out of her summer to be an example to others.  She is also back playing her favorite sport, Volleyball.  She never missed a beat.  We are so so proud of her.

So, while I have no pictures of the office nor our master to share  I will share these...and we are praying we get most of it done by Friday night when she returns.  Until then, I am taking a blogging break because this is one project this momma is determined to make happen.

The remains of DIY and old cabinets!

A closer look!
