Big things are happening now

Drywall, mudding, texturing, priming, and now PAINTING...wahoo! :)

The drywall on the ceiling got put up

Our kitchen cabinets arrived

All drywall got mudded and sanded

Everything got textured and primed..very messy

All done with texturing and priming and ceiling paint on

Today we started putting colored paint on the walls! It was so nice having an extra day to our weekend. The holes on this wall are for the TV and speakers. The wood frame is where our fireplace will go.

Here's the front door/entry way and dining room is to the right. This is all open with the dining area/kitchen/great room.

Things are finally coming together now!

Christmas Bowling

This years Christmas was a little different than in the past. My parents went to see my brother in Colorado so they were gone. We had Aj's family's Christmas the weekend before Christmas and then had Christmas with my parents that following Monday before they left town.
We always go to the Christmas Eve service at our church. This year of course it didn't want to stop snowing so AJ ended up plowing from early that morning until 10:00 that night. I still went to church with my grandma and met Aj's parents there. I then decided to go ride around with Aj for a while as he plowed snow. After we were starving and the only thing left open on Christmas Eve at 10:00 was Chinese - they were closing but were nice to give us food to go- so we enjoyed that (the 2nd night in a row eating Chinese).
Christmas morning we decided to go work on the house for a couple hours. Aj and I then went and ate lunch at my grandmas. After we got back home we decided to go bowling with Aj's parents, his sister and her boyfriend. It was so much fun! We got there right when the ally opened and didn't have anybody else there for quite a while. After we went to Toads and played shuffle board and had appetizers. When we got home we all watched the movie Salt.
It was a fun day where we kind of did things spur of the moment!
