My Big Surprise: New Laminate Hardwood Floors

Yesterday I teased you with My Big Surprise!  If you missed the blog post you can catch up here.  And today I wanted to reveal my surprise to you!

My husband is incredible!  He is so thoughtful, such a hard worker and an avid DIY-er like myself.  But at 4:30am I honestly had no idea WHAT my husband was surprising me with!

I had left my husband for 5 days with the kids while I went out of town and he was sick most of the time I was gone.  Poor guy!  I know he spent all day with the kids and assumed he relaxed all night because honestly, he sounded pretty sick on the phone.  So I had no idea what to expect when I walked into the house!  

When I finally got into the house and was allowed to open my eyes, I was honestly met with the biggest surprise I think I have ever had!

While I was out of town, my husband decided to purchase and start installing New Laminate Hardwood Floors!

What!?!?!?!?!?!?!

We have been talking about doing this since the day we moved into our house (almost 3 years ago).  We had even picked out laminate wood that we liked!  But we had never actually done it!

What a HUGE surprise!

We have a LOT of linoleum flooring in our bottom floor of our home.  Probably about 1,000 sq ft., so I knew this was a big undertaking, to cover it all with laminate wood flooring.  But my sweet wonderful husband decided to surprise me with new flooring!

And my DIY-heart grew three sizes that day as I realized what an amazing surprise my husband had been working on for me!  Even though he was sick the whole time!  He is such a sweetheart!

So at 4:30am, exhausted, 8 week pregnant and not having slept in almost 24 hours, but as excited as could be, I attempted to drift off to sleep for a few hours before it was time to get up and get back to real life the next day.

But what an INCREDIBLE SURPRISE!

I will be sharing the process of installing our floating laminate wood floors with you over this next week so STAY TUNED for MORE!

I would love for you to follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pintrest and via email.
