Good Bye 2009

To finish 2009 off we have been working hard at home.
Josh has the final two weeks off of work and I had the most of two weeks off.
Josh replaces the valves and handles in our shower, so it no longer drips,
yey!
we finished Christmas shopping, wrapping and delivering within two days before Christmas. Then spent 4 days visiting friends and family. Mister was happy that we returned home.
Since we have been home we have caught up on laundry, cleaning and we have started to decorate the basement. We put up the new dart board and are hanging beer signs in what Josh claims is the "man cave"
Pics will be posted eventually.
Tomorrow looks like we will hang up my new spoon rack in the dining room and hopefully get a few other things accomplished.
And this is the time to get deals on Christmas decorations, and since we dont really have any, we went and saved a ton on them :) Cant wait to put them up next year!
Hope you have a good new years

Christmas

Before you know it Santa will be here.
and today, just now I finished the cards.
however, I accidentally got caught up in sealing the envelopes that I forgot to include a letter in all the cards... and I dont know which ones... I opened some and put in a letter, but if you didnt get a letter I'm sorry
Josh is downstairs wrapping the rest of the christmas presents.
we have no decorations up, which is sad, cause I love decorations
but, we wont be home for christmas, so it really doesnt matter I guess.
Mister is just happy that Josh has been home all week. I feel bad we will be leaving him home alone for so long, I'm sure he will be fine.

In all the rushing around, dont forget what the holidays are about and why you do everything you do to prepare for the holidays.
Its your familiy and spending time with them, and remembering the true meaning of Christmas, and the birth of Jesus.
Merry Christmas to All, and to all a good night.

Welcome to Winter and the holidays

So as you all know its been a busy little while.
Josh went to Germany, and arrived home safely thankfully,
however I was sick when he got home, sinus infection which lead to pink eye,
However we hosted Thanksgiving for both of our families seperatley.
On Wednesday my parents, and brother and his family came over and stayed until thursday night, friday of course we went out shopping and then later my parents left and a few hours Later Josh's mom, Dave and Brian arrived. Unfortnatley Dave got sick while he was here.
All in all our holidays were good, we were happy to see everyone.

Now this week its literally a blizzard. So I am home from work since the roads are dangerous to get to work. but we decorated last night, so I am enjoying the decorations although we still have to put up our christmas tree.
