1 Year Anniversary in our NEW HOME!

OK.....as I said, I would post a slideshow of our home we have been in now just over a year.....had to figure out the Picasa Web Album configuration....once again, something new to learn. Thanks to my mother, we have an extensive collaboration of images from the building process. This is just a few pics believe it or not! She is awesome.....made me want to get a new camera and delve into capturing images from all the events we are involved in and also friends and family. I just celebrated my 41st birthday on Tuesday, yes, April Fool's Day - came down with the flu so I can tell you it was a total bummer! We are celebrating tonight as we watch the Final Four play - it will be much more fun than the actual birthday I can tell you that! I did however get a new camera and I can't wait to use it for everything! I have warned everyone. It's a Canon Rebel XTi and I can tell you this for sure - it's not a disposable!!!! That's about what I was used to and I told my hubby this morning I am definitely going to take a photography class so I don't have a regular cussfest using this aparatus like I do when I'm learning something on the computer! Anyway, I have posted a new home slideshow...hope you enjoy it. We are glad to be here....it's a vacation every day I wake up.

Days Going By Too Fast!!

My, my.....took a look at the date on my last post and realize I am not blogging often enough! It has been crazy at work, was out of town for a Coldwell Banker Sales Rally (pic on the right of post is me, Janice, Steph and Robin, 3 of awesome team members at work!!) and then back home for hubby's 50th birthday party....time just flies and the older I get, the faster it goes. I always heard that but realize it more and more! The birthday party was a smash! Rick (above) was born on St. Patrick's Day so naturally we had the green beer and other green drinks and had karaoke/dance music which was hysterical AND tiring! Some of my best friends Carrie, Lynne Michele, Sara and Suzy and I did a play on words with the song "Oh Mickey" but of course changed the name to "Oh Ricky" and I sang while they did a cheer - it was fabulously fun and I have to say, felt like the old days in high school.....we are definitely not to old to have a blast! I am glad it's over though.....I could barely walk to the truck that night my feet hurt so bad and the next day the legs were sore from dancing and running around all night! The things we do for love......Time to go watch the first basketball game of the day even though I should be painting........

Watching the Snow

I am sitting glued to the couch and have been since 5:00 am! The snow is falling and it is breathtaking - I wish we got more snow but it doesn't happen often. I can't quite make myself get up and get something going........watching the snow is so relaxing when you don't have appointments to go to or work calling! My sweet hubby had to run in to work for a bit so he took the grocery list and is stopping on his way home to pick up everything so I don't have to get out! What a peach! I think he's just doing it so I don't have to drive......if I don't go 5 miles UNDER the speed limit, he thinks I'm reckless! Some of my friends and I call him PAPA when he moves slow.........he's hot and fixing to be 50 so he thinks he's getting old already!! I need to be working on his party since it's the 15th of this month!! He was born on St. Patrick's Day which is appropriate being the biggest beer drinking day of the year next to probably the Super Bowl!! We are having kareoke night and should be lots of fun. It's hard hitting those milestone birthdays.......but it's much better than the alternative! Must remove myself from the couch now and get something accomplished - enjoy your weather today and all we have been given!
