Looking Good From Here

It has been a long four years, but high school soccer came to an end last Wednesday. We lost in a shoot out to North Olmsted, who we can obviously beat. It was an emotional ending; but I am overall relieved that it is over. There was so much drama within the politics of our program, and we were not good. I had fun this summer and this season with my friends. This season people were trying to bring down my confidence; but I still have it in despite all that happened to me. Even though in the short run this season did not look good, I have learned life lessons from everything that has happened. 

I have so many other things to look forward now for the remainder of my senior year. The addition will be done soon, Thanksgiving and Christmas, possibly CYO basketball and Cleveland United, the ski trip, Spring Break, track, and much more still is yet to come. 

We began the addition on our house about 3 weeks ago. We have had the same kitchen since 1995, we needed an update. And my mom has wanted a new kitchen for the past ten years, and since it was her 25th anniversary and 50th birthday this year and we did not go on vacation this summer, my dad caved in. I will explain exactly what we are doing in these pictures below.

I am at where part of our deck currently was.
Right where I am is where the added on portion
of our house will be.

Right where my dad is where the addition
is going to extend out to be. The area left to
him is going to be our new outdoor living
room. It is not going to be too fancy, just
some added comfy furniture and a ceiling
fan.

Our house is going to look so different.

Right at this point the addition is completely
built up on the exterior, the flooring and dry
wall needs to be put up. This is our family
and this large wall behind my dad is going
to be torn down and the room next to it
happens to be our kitchen. So with the
addition and the big wall knocked down
it will be a huge open area.

This is the wall of our kitchen that is also going
to be torn down along with the other wall. On
the other side of that door is where the addition
is built up, thus extending that area back more.

This was quite shocking walking into
yesterday after school. They tore down the wall
and this is what our open space is going
to look like.

This is another view of the addition and of what the open
space is going to look like. We still have a long way to go
but the project will be done in about 5 or 6 weeks. I will
blog updates of our new addition along the way!

Otherwise from the addition, I've been listening to Taylor Swift's new CD. It was released Monday and I like almost every song.
