2009 so far... so good....

I already know that 2009 is going to be the year of change. This is the first New Years eve that we stayed home and veg’d out on the couch in YEARS. We have been spending every weekend at the new house and just didn’t have the energy to do anything.


I started my new job @ Chrysler. I am now a Compliance Analyst and I LOVE IT!!! I have so much freedom and it was a promotion – what else could I ask for? This was how I did my hair for my first day of work – how cute is this?

The weather here has been crazy. It has made working on the house extremely difficult because you can’t plan what the weather is going to do. One day it will be 30 degrees and the next it will be 80. Its not that I am complaining, I just wish for some sort of consistency.

You might be wondering how is the redecorating of the house coming along??? Well this picture says it all.


I am beginning to love being out in Boyd. I love spending time with my family especially my nieces. They are something else. I missed out on so much of Rayleighs life because I wasn’t around all the time and I am so blessed to be able to get the chance to be part of Abby’s.


Today we took the first load of “stuff” to the new house. We filled up my brothers truck with boxes from the craft room and the holiday decorations. We included the guest room bed also.

What is even worse is this is the way the garage and my craft room still look. Based on how little of an impact removing these items from our house left, I am guessing we will have about 20 more truck loads of stuff before we are done. .

Oh and this is our dining room. Trying to live in a house that you have been moving out of for 4 months, is a hard thing to do.


We are hiring movers to move all the furniture. Hiring movers is totally worth the money they charge. We used them when we moved into this house and they were my new best friends.

One last thing. I am totally addicted to Photoshop brushes. Does anyone know of any expansion packs that I can buy that would be worth it? AND SIMS 3 will be out of shelves in March... how cool is that??

I have been watching my feedjit and I am seeing so many people from all over reading. I would love for you to leave me a comment and let me know who you are (even if I don’t know you; I blog hop also, so don’t be embarrassed)
