Happy Birthday to me!

November 21 was my birthday. At first I was not willing to celebrate my birthday because I wanted to be in WA celebrating with my friends. But we bought the house so that was out the window. Don't get me wrong I'm glad I have a house, and there are always other years I can go celebrate with my friends. But I had the biggest surprise this year. We had a triple birthday to do to and Brett's sister's house. Starr's birthday was on the 20th and Austin's was the 23rd so we all celebrated together. I wanted to go early so we could leave early but brett kept watching tv and wasn 't getting ready so finally he starts changing and while I was changing he told me someone was at the door for me. So I walk out into the front room and there is my little bro!! he drove all the way down from WA for my birthday. What a great surprise. We went out to dinner for my birthday and had great sushi at the Last Samuri. Brett made me an even better cheesecake. Then Brett's mom took my shopping on sunday. Even though I didn't want to have a birthday it was a great 30th! Thanks everyone!

Sorry there is no pictures, had the camera on me the whole time, just didn't cross my mind!

Finally able to relax

After the mightmare of remodeling our house we were finally able to move in on halloween. Just this last week we got around to actually getting stuff out of boxes. The kitchen is almost done as well as the bathroom. The front room is pretty much done also. It was a very educational experiance and if we had to do it again I would have to say we would hire someone for the bigger things like, framing and sheetrock. But overall it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It did go a little overbudget and way over the time frame but I have a house and I'm grateful for that. Now we can relax for a little bit until the hecticness (is that a word?) of the hoildays is here. But I'm grateful to be able to spend that with the family!!
