house the way it was

It's getting there!

The living room before picture. With the just moved in and haven't unpacked sparse look. (yes our screen door is leaning up against the glass door. Dang thing doesn't stay on it's track. It's a pain in the ass - need a new one bad)



And now with the shelves hung! Can't wait to see what it looks like with the curtains!

We hung the medium shelf and small shelf on the wall behind the couch. We decided on just the 2 smaller shelves because with the long one it was too much on that small wall. Because I like the balanced look, I ordered another small shelf and plan to hang that on the couch behind the wall - actually I plan to have Joe hang it :) And will add pics of that once the shelf arrives.



The long shelf found a perfect home above the doors to the media room/workout room. Now we just need some things to put up on the sweet new shelves!



Santa and his elf helper - that we got for a steal. Love the after Christmas decoration shopping!

The Tree

Our new tree! Clear lights and all. Some day, maybe next year, I'll replace all 600 ligts with multi colored lights. The clear lights just don't do it for me. I think the ornaments get lost in all the clear light.

Before Ornaments


After Ornaments - hard to see them hu?

Holiday Party

Kim, Bonnie's Friend, Bonnie, Heather S, and Me


Back Row - HS Husband, HS, Bonnie, Bonnie's Friend
Front Row - Cathy's Husband, Cathy, Kim, Me


Kim, Heather and I. We won an award for "Gross Profit at Percentage" for the Western Region. It was pretty cool!


Then they threw the most obscene holiday party I've ever seen. We had a Canadian Idol finalist play piano and sing during dinner. Then part of the wall moved and this whole Winter Wonderland room opened up. The pictures didn't turn out very well cause there was a fog machine going and it was all super dimly lit.

Comfy Holiday Collars!

Orlando

We just got back from Orlando. Went to Disney, hung out with work friends and hardly got any sleep at all. The holiday party ended at 1am and our car left the hotel at 5am. And we were starving and had to wait for room service. Which left about 2.5 hours of sleep. Ugh. Followed by a 4.5 hour plane ride filled with barking dogs and lots of little kids. Long day. BUT the plus side was that we got to pick up our fuz butts as soon as we got home. Which makes all of the above totally worth taking the early flight home.

Tucker: Snuggles the Pink Puppy

Tucker has this pink puppy that he loves with all of his puppy heart. We know this because this is the toy that he runs to grab when one of us comes home. If the pink puppy is forgotten outside you can count on Tucker to bring it back in. This is also the one toy that Tucker will defend if - actually when is more fitting; Kody wants everything that Tucker has - Kody tries to steal it
