Progress!

Here is a picture of our finally finished dining area. We had my family over for lunch so my brothers helped lift the table to put the rug underneath. Doesn't it look so pretty?!?!?!?! It feels so NICE to have one room finally completed. The rest of the main level is mostly finished, but the upstairs is a totally different story!

The other picture is just cute. My parents got a new dog a couple months ago, another Chesapeake Bay Retriever named Bay (short for Besa). She is a very sweet little dog who loves to cuddle, especially with women. I don't usually let the dogs up on my furniture, but I want to recover that pink sofa anyway, so I figured it couldn't hurt this one time. Her face is so dark it looks a little funny in pictures.

 

Chris' Birthday

Chris wasn't very excited about his birthday - he think he's getting old or something! So I tried to make it really nice for him. The night before his birthday I gave him his first present - a duvet - something he's always talked about getting. So he woke up nice and comfy on his birthday! Unfortunately I got a cover that was too light, it looks a little too girly. But he likes it anyway. So, I made him breakfast and gave him a DVD and then that night I took him to a hotel. We discovered that now that we live in a really nice house and have a really nice tv, going to a hotel is a step down! He said I did a good job making it a nice day for him. Tonight we were supposed to go out to dinner for his birthday but he had to work late, so I'm not sure when we'll get to that.

Catching Up

Sorry that I've been MIA, the holidays were really crazy and it took me awhile to recover, then we were in the looooong process of buying a new computer so I just left all my pictures on my camera instead of putting them on the old computer and then having to move them. But now that everything is mostly back to normal I can finally get around to posting again!

So here are a couple pictures from the holidays. We had Peanut over Christmas, which was really fun. We bought him a gigantic bone because he eats normal size bones so quickly. Apparently this one was too big for him, he sniffed it once and hasn't touched it since.

The weekend after Christmas my sister and her family came down from New York to visit. We had so much fun exchanging presents and then celebrating my sister's birthday.
