This weekend we did a lot of work on the basement. We coated most of the walls with two layers of Drylock (sealant primer) and then painted the floor, walls and ceilings with colors. The colors looked really good on the computer, but in real life, they’re a little funky. I’m a bit unsure how I feel about it. But it’s definitely cleaner than it used to be and feels more like a real room. Here are a few pictures.
Also, we found a home for Ashes! A Temple graduate student contacted us through Craigslist and will provide a good home for her. I think it will be an improvement for all involved.

It was so nice to have three days off in a row. David went to Harrisonburg to visit family and friends. I stayed in Philadelphia and enjoyed doing things here. Then we had an extra day to catch up on things around the house. Luxury!!
In other news, we are looking for a new home for Ashes. She is very affectionate to us, but she doesn’t get along with Chloe and it doesn’t seem like it will improve. I think she could be much happier somewhere else. Let us know if you have any ideas!

My friend Becca visited last week and in her honor, we placed the finishing touches on the guest room. She and I performed in Comedy Sportz over the weekend and a ton of people we know came - it was great! I also survived my first game as captain.
Upcoming events include lots of work on the basement before our Superbowl party. When we finish, it will hopefully feel cozy and comfortable down there. Yay for home improvements!

We had the privilege of spending time with both of our families in Florida. The first half was in Orlando with my Roth family and the second half was with David’s family and grandmother in Winterhaven. It was nice to have some warm weather and great company! Check out the pictures.
