This Week's Big Project

It has been a while since Mrs. Rabe and I have shared a project. 

It used to be that we were together at least once per week with home school group

or something at church.

However, since I'm all "graduated" that is no more.

And things at the church have been rather settled for a while 

when it comes to 

projects.  

But we were discussing the upcoming wedding of our dear pastor 

and our friend, Jenny.

I looked at Deanna and suggested that it would be so great if we could

paint the fellowship hall before the wedding.

She had been thinking the same thing but hesitated to say anything.

That was all it took.

A plan was hatched and colors were chosen. 

All that was left was to set a time and rope in the husbands to assist us.

Well, I really thought we could do it ourselves....

but I was wrong.

That was a HUGE project.

One that required not only our husbands but several others from the church.

Huge thanks to Denny, Jenny, Georgia, Mike L, Rachel, Sarah, Kyle, and Kamryn

for assisting in this project with Warren, Tim, Deanna and I.

We realized that it has already been six years that we've been in the building.

The yellow and bold orange has worn out its welcome.

From our Titanic Event a couple of years ago.

We had also grown into the room so that the prior separation 

between dining and living space no longer made sense.

We need all of it for eating.

 For now we have repurposed many decor items that were already on the walls.

We purposely chose colors that worked with most of the things we had.

Over time I believe we will add photography and art from the congregation.

We want this room to truly reflect those who worship together here.

This was fun.

And it was very hard work.

But it was quite worth it.

We told our husbands this at the end of the project and they were 

very glad that WE thought so. 

Ha.
