Mini Bathroom Reveal and Other News

So, the master bathroom isn't completely done yet, but here is a looksie!  I'm not quite sure about the 2 pictures I have up and I am still waiting on the curtain to go on the cutout under the cabinets.  But, you can get the general idea.














I love, love, love the new tile floor!!!  If you don't know, that is tile!! 





It is so deceiving!!!  You have to actually touch it, to really know the difference!  The mocha grout ended up being the best match and glad that ordeal is behind me!  A.K.A Panic attack!







My man, did a great job framing out the mirror!  It wasn't hard at all! 







Here is the new rug I got from Pottery Barn.  It has turned out to be quite a plush little rug!  The colors are so deep and striking!  Again, seriously!?  Look at that floor!  Greatness!!!  Here is the lowdown on our hard labor of love!

Now on the other news!


 If you have noticed that my little blog was neglected this week, it is because I have started Cosmetology school!!!!! 







I am so excited!  After staying home for 12 years with the kiddos, my Man and I have prayed and talked about this life altering decision and I got accepted this spring!  I was a little taken back, however, when I realized my kids really weren't on board with this idea!  The night I found out I was accepted I was so excited I was bursting at the seams!  My Man was at a Maverick game, so it was just me and the kids.  Kailey was taking a shower so I told Ethan first.  I said "E, I got in to Cosmetology school!  How exciting is that!!!?"  Let me just say, it was the saddest thing ever!  He instantly teared up and said "I don't want you to go!!  You're supposed to be here!"  And, he ran off to his room crying!!  So, I'm standing there thinking, "What in the world just happened here!?"


So, in walks Kailey from her bath, and again I say, " Kailey, I just found out I got accepted to Cosmetology school!!  Isn't that exciting!!!"  And, she just stared at me, for like, 30 seconds, and took off for her room!!!  So, talk about a Debbie Downer moment!!!  Cue music: Wah Waaahhh (Saturday night live skit. yeah, I'm a dork)  I needed someone to be excited with me, but at this moment in time, I had 2 very upset children on my hands.


They have since settled into the idea, and things are going really well.  They actually think it is cool that I have homework and have to pack my lunch every morning just like they do!   I know this is going to be a challenge though.  I mean I haven't worked in 12 YEARS!!  I was ready to start last fall, but God closed that window and I couldn't get in.  All the slots were full up.  I was terribly upset, because you know when your rip roaring ready to start something and a wall comes up?  I guess I was a little disappointed.  That's when I realized God ALWAYS knows what's best.  His timing might not always be my timing, but I'm so glad he timed this right and I shut up and went along with what He had in store for me.
Ethan started 3rd grade at public school for the first time, so he really needed me this last semester, and Kailey, surprisingly enough, needed me a lot at the beginning of 6th grade. So, He said, "Not this semester Erin.  Wait and be patient." 


In my new adventure, because that is exactly how I am viewing this, a adventure, I saw this verse and it gave me such peace knowing that this is what he wants for me:


For I know the plans I have for you, "Declared the Lord", plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Jeremiah 29:11


Oh, that just makes me smile and fills my heart!  So my journey begins.  I will try and keep up the posting a little better.  But, don't be surprised if I miss a few days!  I was having major withdrawals this week, let me tell you!  Keep me in your prayers and especially the little family!  Have a wonderful and praise filled Sunday!
