Extreme Home Makeover: Alexandria Edition

Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.

Welcome new and repeat blog visitors. So after a long lapse in between blog posts L & R's blog is back and better then ever with nifty slide shows, new tunes and new pictures. Sorry for the delay. I am sure you all have been waiting with baited breath. Lauren and I have been very busy. Both of us are in the midst of our busiest times at work. I recently finished up class for the year and am only three classes away from getting a Master of Science in Karate and Frienship (I am actually getting my M.S. in engineering management but i digress). So much has happened since we last posted. Most recently our pad has undergone significant changes. Under the direction of Mom and Doug we were able to transform our place. Much like the catapiller becomes a beautiful butterfly, the seed becomes the tree or the horse becomes the unicorn, our house became a home with our recent renovations. Although most rooms underwent some sort of change the bathroom and kitchen underwent the most dramtic changes. The bathroom was transformed from a irredescent aqua and urine yellow color scheme to a soothing soft blue and brown. I can now safely take showers without thinking I was transported back to 1972. In addition to the bathroom transformation we hung nmuerous pieces of artwork, a wine rack and built a bench / picnic table (A timely QVC purchase by L-dog). This past weekend we had the pleasure of hositng my pops and Anne. We managed to check out a nationals game and give my dad a taste of the city with an interesting cab ride. It was great seeing both my mom and doug and dad and Anne. We can't wait to show Lauren's familty the new look on their next vist. Enjoy a brief slide show that chronicles the changes to our place and some recent happenigs.
