Santa Claus is coming to town!

Santa really stepped it up this year!! We went to his totally sweet crib built by Renaissance Homes down at Bridgeport Village. In fact, it was so cool that they had snow machines blowing snow from the rooftops. You felt like you were in the North Pole... except for all the outdoor heaters.

All by myself!

I am pretty excited about my tree skirt! I have always wanted a nice skirt, and can never justify buying those really cool ones from the store, so I decided to copy Crate and Barrel and make my own. Personally.. I'm much more excited that I made it myself.

Hard work!

We have GREAT friends!!! The best thing happened, two AMAZING friends came over bright and early in the morning and helped us put our ceiling up. We could not have done it without them. Here they are looking like real contractors. Thanks guys!

Emile has been working so hard to get this addition done. We are both sick of living in a construction zone, but with the sacrifice of time, his raw hands, sore arms, and late nights with no sleep, we are almost there.

Here is Emile finally blasting through the wall that used to go outside. It now opens nicely to our future bedroom.

Tagged?

I have never been "tagged" before, and as I was blogging this morning... i noticed... there it was. Plain as day, my name... tagged! So, here's to you Seth!

7 interesting things about myself.

7. I have a public bathroom phobia! I would rather find a nice quite hidden spot than sit on a yucky toilet! AHHH!!

6. I have this heart condition that I use to my advantage at times in my life when I don't feel like over exerting myself. This works well because no one can really question if it is really bothering me or not.

5. I am scared to death to have 2 kids! Why you might ask? Dunno... just freaked!

4. I have broken my nose 3 times, and had it surgically fixed twice. Once while playing baseball, once while rafting, and the final time... i got kneed in the face during a friendly tickling match with a flirtatious fiance! (yes... it was Emile)

3. I was on a high school varsity ski team

2. I am a terrible arguer! I don't like arguing, I can not think fast enough to bring up good points to win a darn thing! I usually loose, and for the next several days I run the argument over and over in my head and think of all the great things i SHOULD have said. I failed my debate class!

1. I'm going to have elective surgery someday to clip this little vein in my neck that makes me stop blushing! I turn beat red in the face even if I'm not completely embarrassed! The worse thing is when someone MENTIONS it too! Don't tell me what I already know... yes... i look like a tomato, my face is pulsing, and no I am NOT hitting on your husband, or that cute guy in the corner. (i can't wait to clip this stupid thing!)

We're getting there!

We are so excited and thankful for the help we've received on the "shed" raising! Emile's brother and dad came over to help us before the rain, and we got tons done! Even Trenton got in on the act. Thanks boys!!!
