August 22 1st Painting experienceThis is the original painting that I signed us up to paint.
However, this picture was not readily available while we were actually painting so you couldn't really copy it. We just watched the instructor paint and did what she told us.
And this is what we ended up with:

August 17 UpdateWe just got back from a conference at Orange Beach. I must say, if you have to work, thats the way to do it!! You can't ask for better working conditions. Now, I gotta wash a lot of clothes and get back to the normal.
The 6 houses situation is starting to look a little less bleak. The rental that was most recently vacated has sparked alot of interest. We plan to sell it (and my house also at some point). We had 3 interested people contact us yesterday. It is in a very good location and is quite cute, so maybe soon we will be one house less.
I have wanted to take art lessons for a very long time. DJG even purchased supplies for me 2 christmas' ago, which I have never used. I could not find any classes nearby and just had not bit the bullet to drive into Birmingham. However....my beautician told me of a very interesting thing going on right now...its called "Sips and Strokes." It is a one night group painting class. People are using it for their girls night out and such. Anyway, they post online what picture will be painted on each night of the month, so you choose what you want to paint and sign up for that nights class. When you leave, you supposedly have a piece of art to take home with you. I was trying to decide which night to sign up for when I mentioned hating to have to go the first time by myself. Then my sweet husband volunteered to go with me. Told me not to be mad if his turned out better than mine though! Tomorrows the day.
Daughter #1 and I just could not get our schedules coordinated, but I wanted to go shopping with her for maternity clothes. I do remember being jealous of nicely dressed pregnant women. So once again, the internet brought us together for a very successful shopping expedition! She got one dress, 2 pairs of capris, a pair of black and a pair of khaki pants, and 4 or 5 shirts. That was fun.
