A New Dining Set Makes My House Seem Better and More Grown-up

Good Evening Viewers! No more K-mart / yard sale tables for me!

Today did not go as smoothly as I had planned. We certainly did not get as much done as I had hoped. However, I do have a NEW beautiful china hutch AND!!! a new dining room table - that match!!!

MY NEW TABLE & CHAIRS









MY NEW HUTCH











So although a little hectic - and I have a sick hubby - and I planned way too much and got only one thing done - it was still a success.

Speaking of success - Chad is now employed!! His first day is Monday - so tomorrow we will go get him some new shirts and I suppose a lunch box/bag/pail - something very man-like I am sure.

Also I got Chad a "yay! I am so happy you got a job I am much less stressed now and looking forwarding to quitting and getting pregnant in the near future" present. Which I shall give to him on Monday.

We also took a family picture - it turned out so/so... Plus we are missing Spencer! Poo!








Here is a cropped one of just Chad and Me...


Yeah for Saturdays - but even more yeah for Sundays - b/c we don't generally work on Sunday.



Have a nice Sunday everyone!!

One Step Forward, Down the Stairs and to the Right

Why is it that as soon as you go forward then almost immediately there comes along some event that puts you back - or sideways - or just not where you though you should be. Admittedly this does end up working out better than where you we were going but all of a sudden are not anymore. But it should be mentioned that it still sucks!

Speaking of such an event...Chad had an interview Monday that he feels went pretty well. Yeah smart and handsome accountant husband of mine! However, on his way home he drove by our rental and it was vacant. Odd because Wednesday we had tenants with another years lease. So...anyone need 900-some square feet of commercial space that has just become available??

On another note, I feel like such a huge nerd because my new Levenger notebook has been shipped and will soon be in my very own hands. It even comes with colored tabs AND graph paper!! I am literally shivering with excitement.

We had Max and Holly's baby shower Sunday and I think it went pretty well. Ashamedly, I did fall down the stairs and hurt my foot (which is always getting hurt) right before everyone came and had to have my mom and KT do the rest of the set-up. I will gather some pictures and post them on this my blog - since I am making the effort of being a blogger.

Thanks for playing crowd - are you supposed to sign off on these. I'm Brent Blockhard, wishing you a good evening.

I am thankful for my Mr. Greif

I am thankful for my family and friends
I am thankful for learning to be patient - well maybe a little
I am thankful that things change - mostly towards the better
I am thankful-ish for the time being to try to be content and work towards later
I am thankful that it is almost later - sigh

Technical Deficiencies

So - due to my huge amount of blogger/facebook/myspace/texting technical inadequacies, I have managed to delete my whole previous account. I vow to not do that again. So here we go - my new and improved blog.
