Come on baby, light my fire

Snowbell really loves the gas fireplace. We've been using it the past few nights just to warm up the lower level while we are watching tv. Every night, she gets super excited and lays in front of it and gets all toasty warm! She is so cute!! And yes, I do need to clean the fireplace, it's nasty!!

Coasters

Our realtor stopped by two Fridays ago to give us a house warming gift and to see how the place is after all of our hard work. He was very impressed with the progress we've made, but I am more excited about the gift he gave us. Coasters!! But not any coaster, coasters with our name, picture of our house, and the date we bought it engraved on it!! Probably one of the coolest gifts a realtor could give if you ask me!

Senior Moment

So today at work, we had a senior expo (fair). I was helping clean up and a sweet older woman was trying to figure something out. So I asked her if she needed help, and she said "Yes, I can't seem to get this flash light to work." So I took it from her, and low and behold, it was a flash drive, not a flash light! One of the vendors was giving out flash drives as their give away, and she thought he said it was a flash light! That was the highlight of my day!!

Slow as a Penguin

It is a week like this week that reminds me why I went in to recreation. Today concluded MEA break field trips. We went to Skateville, Pump It Up, and horseback riding. I had a blast playing with the kids and enjoying their silly little antics. Today I asked one girl how she liked her horse, and she responded "My horse was as slow as a penguin." How can you not help but laugh?!

New Furniture!!

Curt and I spent about four hours on Saturday shopping for a kitchen table. After five furniture stores, a stop at Dairy Queen, and a quick thunderstorm, we finally came across a set we agreed on. Now we get to wait for about four weeks for the delivery!! But that's okay, we can patiently wait with the anticipation of possibly having a Thanksgiving day feast on our new dining set with family!! Here are the pictures from the store's website:

We got the table and eight chairs. It will comfortably seat six without the leaf, and an additional two with the leaf in. And the best part is that the leaf is self storing in the table! We did not choose to get the bench.




The server is in the background of this picture. But in person, the colors looked exactly the same and will compliment the table and chairs quite nicely! I will be sure to add pictures once they are in our house and settled in!!

Our New Digs

Well kids, we closed on our house August 18th, officially moved in on September 20th, and I've finally got the house to a place where we can live and function. Everything has been painted except the guest bath upstairs, and all rooms are livable. Now it's just adding our personal touch with the decorations! Enjoy the pictures!
