Here in NC we are actually experiencing some snow this morning. The snow started last night and fell all night. Sometime in the early morning {I know because I heard it all night long} the sleet began as well. This morning we are getting a snow/sleet mixture. It is supposed to continue all day long so we’ll see what we end up with. Oh yeah, it is supposed to be freezing tonight – not going to help the ice situation.

As if we weren’t busy enough already….
We added a new addition to our “family” last night. A 2008 Toyota Highlander – our “family” car. We found the one we were looking for out at dealership in Wilson and drove out to take a look at it. The car is in awesome shape and was well maintained. They had a good sticker price but we obviously fought to get it a little lower. Didn’t get as low as we hoped but oh well. That was our first experience {together or individually}) buying a used vehicle from a dealership. Not the most fun – car salesman are pushy …
Fun Website!
I was reading one of my favorite blogs, Young House Love, this afternoon {check out their awesome bathroom redo!} and they had an awesome website featured. Knock Off Wood is a website that shows you how to recreate furniture from some of your favorite stores – Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, etc. I love it! Mike might not though. 🙂
Slow Going…
So, the floors are coming along – slow but sure. We have about 1/3 of the living room done and hopefully a lot of the hard spots done. Here are some update pictures {I apologize for the quality – I was just taking quick pictures with our little point-n-shoot.}. The laying begins… The progress we had made as of 9 PM Sunday night.
16 Week Update
We had our 16 week check-up this morning and everything looks good! After a minor blood pressure concern {all is well – I apparently don’t do well with the automatic blood pressure machines}, we heard the little one’s heartbeat – about 161 bpm! We have our next appointment set for February 8th @ 9:00 AM. This will be our big ultrasound and we should find out if we are having a boy or a girl! We are super excited now and ready to get to 20 weeks! Here is a fun little quiz that some others have been using. How …
Hardwood Floors – Begin!
The long awaited project of hardwood floors has begun! As you might remember, we found our floor back in September at Lumber Liquidators and they have been sitting in our garage since then. We were in the midst of our wainscoting project when we bought them so we waited to do one project at a time. Then Christmas time happened – so that is why we are to January and just beginning. We are starting in the living room and then once we are are finished there we will move on to the office. So this is what our living …
Pictures from Christmas
I realize that these are very late in coming but I just got them off my camera! I have been busy working on pictures for Sharon and Family trying to get them ready to send off. Of course, I didn’t take many pictures while we were in MD but I did take a few from Christmas morning.
