Day 1 - What's behind wallpaper #1??
Ok, so it's no secret where we have been the last 4 days. Time flies when you're having fun...so let's just say, it was a LONG weekend! (just kidding) When I was growing up, it seemed that my mom always had the need to be secretive..."What's for dinner, mom?" "Food. You'll see." (I'm sure my kids can relate to that one...I've used it myself for years!) Or we would be getting ready to go somewhere, but she wouldn't tell us where we were going...it was a surprise!! So maybe it wasn't the secret she was trying to keep, it was just a surprise in the waiting! To me, it felt secretive, and for any of you that know me, you know that I can't handle secrets!! First of all, I'm WAY too curious...I HAVE to know...and second of all...I talk too much, I HAVE to tell and even when I want to keep a secret...I CAN't! (just one disclaimer here...I'm talking about my own secrets...not confidences...to me there's a difference, and I CAN keep a confidence!) So my weekend has been filled with a few secrets of my own, or shall I say surprises! (Mom) We have pulled up carpet...to find a few secrets underneath!! We have torn down wallpaper to find some WILD secrets underneath!! We have removed some things and not liked the secrets we found...yuck! And we have found that 35+ year old houses hold some very fascinating secrets of their own. As for everything we did...we are holding some of it back (to protect the innocent!) Let's just say we had some fun, did lots of work, and went shopping...all on Dad and Mom's budget, and we thank them for their trust and support, and hope we'll be forgiven for the secrets we keep, for the surprises we have in store. We are operating on a strictly, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Some things are for your own good, Mom, and if you knew all our secrets, you would only worry...but one day, when you are pleasantly surprised (as I hope you will be) we WILL tell! And Dad...this is for you...we are getting rid of ALL the evidence!! Ooooo this is so much fun! No wonder my mom liked secrets and surprises...it's a RUSH!

Oh, my gosh -- what's happening to our house?? Dad doesn't believe it, he thinks you've been putting up new wallpaper!
Those SecReTs of the past were mostly your own imagination, but I guess that's OK too. Don't have too much fun with your secrets!! HA!!
We love the two of you and certainly appreciate all you do and are doing.
Mom & Dad
I hope you will fill me in on some of those secrets. We look forward to seeing the new look. I'm sure it will be just beautiful when you guys get through with it. Everything you do is great!!!
