So Cute

I spoke to my good friend in NC today and she sent me some new pictures of her daughter, Aerin. I think that she is just so cute and I had to share this one picture. It made me smile so I thought that I should share the joy.

We miss you guys so much and hope to see you soon.

Oh, what a day

So... Ryan and I planned a little day trip to the big city of Salem today to pick up my much desired living room rug. I have been planning to get this rug for a long time and I actually received a coupon in the mail for new time home owners and I was planning on using the coupon for the rug. The only catch is, of course there is always a catch, that you have to use the coupon in the store. So, Salem here we come.

Ryan thought that while we were going south that we would stop in Manchester to look at cars at the AUTO FAIR. We are in desperate need of a new car since Ryan's car is considered out "reliable car" and it is now crapping out on us. We are looking at Ford Edge and Ford Escape. I wanted to drive them both to see which one I liked better. So...after a long afternoon with a VERY aggressive sales person and a deal we could not refuse and to make a really long story short we are now the proud owners of a brand new Ford Escape. I love it!

Plus, the rug fit so much better in the Escape than it would have in the Focus.

It's finally done...for now.

Yes, Oh yes. The nightmare of what was our little home renovation is finally over. One full, very exciting and crunched week of painters, and flooring people have come and gone leaving their mark on our not so 1970's home now. YEA!! We do not have any pictures yet because moving our stuff back in may take some time. I would like to put things in place and not just throw them in where they can fit. I have boxes of things that I haven't seen since NC and I don't even know if I should open them or just throw them away because I OBVIOUSLY haven't needed them.

We had out first visitor's this weekend and LOVED IT!! Thanks to Jeff for helping do a LOT of things to finish stuff up. It is true that not only is Jeff the grill master he may also be the saw master:) We loved seeing Keena, Matthew and Luke and hope that they come back soon!
