Flooding in Western Washington

Just some pictures our friends sent us of all the flooding so close to our home...so very sad and also very scary!!! All that snow continues to melt and the rain continues to downpour.
Schools were closed again today, of course-Piper was bummed. Many were without power, electricity. We are so fortunate to live on a hill, as of now. How ironic would that be, we just finished our basement.
We all will keep our fingers crossed and continue to pray for sun and spring to come early!

Golds here I come...

After some real strong peer pressure at work tonight, Jenn and Kelly have convinced me that they are trying to save my health (and sanity) by making me join the gym. To be brutally honest, I don't think I have actually "worked out" since before I was pregnant with Piper (she will turn 5 this summer-scary)! So, here goes to a new year and new figure. Watch out world (and treadmill), cause here I come! :)

P.S. I still haven't found the Fed Ex man, but heard that my neighbor (not mentioning names Jenn) did! :)

Ride a horse, save a Daddy!

Ever since Santa brought this fun new ride and spin zebra, Daddy's back has been doing so much better! He is now down to just 800mg of Advil a day and no more visits to the massage therapist thanks to Fisher Price!

Christmas a little late...

I received the best Christmas gift today from Piper...a little late-but worth waiting for! I absoultely love it and will leave it on my fireplace mantel forever!!!!

Has anyone seen the Fed Ex man?

After Chris told his doctor (which whom I work with) that I drink enough wine for the both of us and having no where to put my vintage bottles of wine but on the counter top, I took it upon myself to order a wine cabinet from Crate & Barrel (I already have the matching piece in my dining room which stores cute baskets)! However, no one has seen the Fed Ex man! The original delivery date was scheduled on the 2nd, which was Friday. So I had to prepare my husband for the anticipated delivery. Needless to say, he wasn't that happy with me-and big old brawl broke out-and still no cabinet!

I tried to download a picture from the web site, but no go. As soon as it arrives you might all have to come over for a glimpse of my new furniture and a glass (of wine that is), if we ever find the Fed Ex man!

~Happy Tuesday!

Garbage Lady

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the "finish the basement" project. Chris and I will continue to take collections ( just do not tell him because he thinks I am the garbage lady)-just joking. I just like everyone's antiques, they tell a pretty cool story to add to ours!
So we pretty much are complete with the basement except the trim-the supplies is bought we just need another long weekend-hopefully the presidents will help us out in February. We now have a place for everyone to stay-so there are no excuses anymore!!!!! We are taking reservations for Easter.

P.S. Keep in mind the small bubbles that appear when we just take pictures of the brown wall in the basement-"I see dead people"-scary? No, I just think their angels watching over us! And I wanted to post the new vase I got 75% off at Pier One. Isn't it cute?!!!

~Happy Sunday

Roman shades for the remodel

My poor workhorse continues on working through the holiday today! It is 10pm and he's still going! Jeez, sometimes this is all it takes to bring me back to reality and that "being married is falling in love over, and over, and over again". And again he sucks me back in to loving every inch of him (even though he is still angry and swearing about the picture I posted last with his "plumbers' crack" hanging out, and the mess I came home from work to at 3:30am New Years morning:)
I guess I must be a cheap date/easy pushover if all it takes is roman shades or a new pair of designer jeans to win my heart.
~Happy 2009!
