Improvements

Even though we moved in to a brand new house, there are many improvements that I would like to do. And even though I wish I could do them all at once, there is something called money that stops me. So I have given myself an allotment each paycheck to improve upon the house. This weekend I am going to paint the coffee tables that were given to us by Ross's grandmother. Actually, she gave us a lot of furniture. I love the shape of these tables, but I am not crazy about the pine color. They really don't match anything.

Also on my list to do is painting Ross and I bedroom, getting more artwork, and decorating Ross and I's bedroom. That is stuff that I hope to do before the end of the year.

First Blog

I tried to keep up Gary's website, but it just didn't work for me. As much as I love talking about Gary, I also would love to keep everyone up to date with everyone else in our family.

Gary is getting so big. He is 22 months old, going on 2. Ross and I have trouble keeping up with him sometimes. He is an outdoor boy, through and through. If you let him stay out all day, he would love you forever. He is talking up a storm. Some of it we understand and some of it we don't. He has also gotten very independent. No more carrying him places. He would rather walk, or more preferablly, run. He is loving the fact that he has his own backyard to run around in. We really don't know who loves it more, the dogs or Gary. :-)

Ross and I are so thankfully that we moved and built our house when we did. Who knows that would have happened if we had waited one more year. With the economy the way it is, a lot of things could have been different. We are so blessed to have the jobs we have and the house we have . Ross is loving coaching. Being in the same school has really been great. I love my coworkers and my students.
