New Bathroom Photos
I put new bathroom photos on facebook (it's easier to upload photos on facebook). Check them out. The transformation is amazing.

Thanksgiving Weekend
The bathroom is finally done ... mostly finally done. We still have to do some paint touch up and get rid of the excess caulk around fixtures. I really hope I get motivated to finish up so this doesn't become one of those projects that drags on for a couple more months.
About half of Jeremy's family came down to spend Thanksgiving with us. We had a traditional day of cooking, eating, and bonfiring yesterday. Today I had to work and the family came in this afternoon to tour the museum.

My month of construction
Today was the opening of the new Ancient Near East exhibit at the museum. I am so relieved it is done! We had a little opening with some speeches, mingling, and hummus (get it, Near East = hummus). The exhibit really came together well and it was exciting to see people actually reading, using, and enjoying this thing I designed.
I feel like I have been doing a lot of construction work in the last month ... and I'm glad it's not my full time job. For the exhibit, staff and volunteers helped me build some walls and some cases. We mudded and sanded sheetrock, painted, and assembled things. At home, Jeremy and I have been remodeling two of our bathrooms. We combined them into one and completely stripped the interiors so while I was constructing walls at work, I was destroying them at home; kind of a weird feeling. We got this 10% off coupon for Lowe's so we decided to buy everything at once for the bathroom so we could get the most use out of the coupon. It was fun to go through the store and pick out everything, but it took many hours. I was so tired and thirsty when it was over.
Adam, Jeremy's brother stayed with us last week to put up the walls, ceiling, and tile the floor and walls. It looks awesome. I can't wait to use it. The new bathroom will totally trump the bathroom in our bedroom, which used to be the best one.
I'll have to post some pictures when I am at home near my camera.
