February

Sorry everyone…I have been horrible about updating the blog. Life has been a little hectic the past few weeks. Let’s see, we left off with blue paint. We did get our bedroom painted and we have gotten most of the guest room done. The problem with that room was not the size but the color paint. We choose yellow for that room – I was thinking bright and inviting when I choose the color. Didn’t realize that it would take 3 million coats to cover the walls. Ok, maybe not 3 million but we’ve put at 2 coats and in …

Blue paint

We spent all afternoon today painting our bedroom a lovely blue/gray color. As of 5:30 PM it is still not finished but it is getting there. We got a little hungry and needed to stop for a food break. Painting was not the most fun part of the whole afternoon however. The best part – I recommend this for anyone who would like to work on patience – was to listen to our dog bark for 3 hours in his kennel. We had to put him in there so we didn’t have blue paw prints around the house. He knew …

Cold South!

It has been pretty cold (and wet) down here in North Carolina. Over the weekend we had a “big” snowstorm. It didn’t amount to much, unfortunately, but it was still kind of fun. Then we had some very low temps and a little bit of ice to deal with. Here are some pictures from our little snowstorm on Saturday.

Recap of events

Mike and I survived the hussle and bussle of Christmas and all the wedding festivities surrounding the holiday this year. Christmas was very nice and fun exchanging gifts and seeing all of our families. It was a busy day for sure! We did the rounds visiting 3 houses in one day. No breathing time after Christmas – had to get right down to wedding business. Everything was lovely and beautiful. And now we have a very sweet new sister-in-law! I will very soon get some pictures up of all our events. Being a member of the wedding party didn’t allow …

Time for Christmas!

So it has been a week since I last wrote. This week has been so busy…comes with the time of the year I suppose. We are heading to MD tonight for the coming week and I am nowhere ready even though I have been working as hard as I can on everything. Presents are not wrapped, I am not packed, etc. But I am so excited to have a week off from work even if that week is going to be filled with activities. I am going to have lots of time playing with my new toy this week. I’ll …

Thursday…NOT Friday…

Well, this will be quick because I need to get back to work but I thought I would write a little so I didn’t completely ignore my blog! Today is Thursday and I wish it was Friday. At least Thursday is half way over! I haven’t had any time this week to play with my camera except for a few random shots of the dog – but he wouldn’t hold still so none of them were good. I might be able to play a little tonight. I also want to figure out the slideshow element and get my pictures into …

New Camera!

So now the fun can really begin! I have upgraded from my wonderful 35mm Nikon camera to a Nikon D80. It is such an awesome camera – I can’t believe all the new things I can do with it. It is going to take me a long time to figure all of its features out. Now I have to play and practice and find out what I can do with it.Last night we had our small group Christmas party at the beautiful Clark house. We had everyone all together with all the kids for a holiday food fest and a …
