It's Been Awhile

Well it has been awhile since I posted anything...not too much has been happening with us except of course the process of planning a house to build (hopefully) this year. We are currently in the phase of waiting on getting a detailed bid, which should happen by sometime next week. We will decide from there what we will do. I can tell that it will take up quite a lot of time but I'm happy with doing things this way. If we're going to spend that kind of money, at least we know things will be the way we wanted and planned them to be!! Plus, it's kind of fun picking stuff out - I've already started looking at options for flooring, cabinets, etc. My "house" folder is growing bigger by the minute!! The builder we have talked to so far has been very helpful, organized and willing to bend over backwards to find us something we really like in our price range...No complaints there!! And, most importantly, no fights have broken out between me and Jay - at least not YET!! It helps that we have very similar taste in things...

Other than that, work has been busy and we look forward to our weekends!! Jay has gone ice-fishing a few times this month but so far no luck with catching anything...he made the comment the other day that it's a good thing we don't rely on him to provide us with food from his fishing and hunting!! So true...

I spent the past weekend at my parents' house organizing stuff that I have stored there for the last 10-11 years or so plus a lot of our wedding gifts that we couldn't fit in our little trailer!! It is all boxed, labeled and ready to move out of there when we move to our house. I'm glad it's done and feel like we accomplished something!! Thanks to my parents for their help with that!

We aren't some of the many people on trips or planning trips somewhere warm this year! But, we may have a Caribbean-themed dinner at our friends' house this Saturday evening. We'll just pretend we're somewhere warm...and NOT where the HIGH temp is 10 BELOW ZERO like today!! A year ago, we were sitting on the beach in Jamaica, soaking up the sun in 80-some degree weather...a lot can change in a year, I guess!!

Hope everyone has a great week and weekend...Stay WARM if possible!! Spring is on its way soon!
