Snow Dogs

It's snowing today!!! I think it started here around 5 b/c I woke up at 4ish and nothing had happened yet. Right now we are around 3 inches, but it's still coming down hard! Seth and I are off work and have had a nice relaxing morning so far. The dogs are LOVING the snow! I plan to get more pictures later, but for now, here are some of our winter wonderland!

Now I must go b/c my insane husband is dragging me out on the 4wheeler in this mess. Wish me luck!

A Little Something I've been working on....

7 done, only 20ish left to go :)

Christmas in Charleston

Here are some pictures of our time in Charleston for Christmas. Unfortunately my camera battery died on the second day, so this is all I got, but there are some funny ones! enjoy!

Christmas

Well, Christmas is finally over! No more shopping, no more wrapping, no more traveling! We had a great time at all of our destinations and would have more pictures had somebody (me) remembered the charging cable for the camera...oops. But here are some of the pictures that were takin at moms house. The others will come later as I still can't find that charging cable to get the pictures off of my camera.

Weekend Project

I have had SO much fun this weekend!!! S and I built a dog house together!

We made up our own plans and just jumped right in and it turned out really well. Take a look and see for yourself:

We were going to paint it yellow to match the house, but decided against that b/c it would show too much dirt and would be hard to match. The dark trim color is called "Labrador" appropriate, don't ya think?

The lighter color is also a good one..."milk chocolate" Yummy!

There are a few touch ups we need to do, including more coats of paint, but other than that it is done!! Next phase is to put it in the backyard!

It's Here!!!

S's Birthday present is FINALLY here!!!!


He has been banned all week from checking the mail in anticipation of it coming, so when it was in the mailbox today, I was thrilled! I immediately brought it in and wrapped it up so I don't have to worry about hiding it, lol!

Now, if any of you know what it is, DO NOT say anything about it in the comments....or anywhere else! I just sent him an invite to read this today.

I don't know if I can wait until his birthday to give it to him!! I love surprises, but I hate waiting to tell people what they are or wait to be given them, lol!

Pray for strength and patience for me!
