Excitement & Anticipation

We have lived in our house for 5 1/2 years.  It is a lovely brick home that my husband's grandparents built during the 1940s. We are blessed with a sun room, great room, three bedrooms, a lovely gas fireplace, and a laundry shute.  What our house is missing is a bathtub.  

Yep, that's right!  We have two little kids and no bathtub just walk-in showers.  Oh, how I have wished to let my children play in a bathtub.  Pumpkin likes to bathe in the plastic toddler tub, but only his feet and bottom are under the water.  Princess has a bit of a better time with her legs submerged.  But a REAL bath tub, what a dream!  

We have talking about it for 5 1/2 years and we can finally afford to make it happen.  A friend is going to help us out and we are looking forward to having a bathtub in the house soon.  Our new bathtub and tub surround is sitting in boxes in our garage waiting to be installed.  Finding a tub was a bit of a challenge since we have a small bathroom and most tubs now-a-days come in a width of 32".  But there was a tub in the house at one time, so we began our search.  We finally had to special order a 60x30x18" tub which we picked up on Friday.

Hopefully in a few weeks, we will have our project complete.  I hope to have some before and after pictures to share.  Yay!
