Computer Woes!!!!

Well, our new laptop's hard drive went bad on us this weekend! Luckily, we've found somebody who can fix it under warranty -- but still rather frustrating! So, now I'm using the "slower" PC to update the blog and check emails! It works fine, but I guess I was a bit SPOILED with the laptop!

Such is life!

Weekend Happenings

Well, we've been very busy this weekend! We started yesterday by cleaning in garage. We got a lot sorted and a few (three) bags of trash filled up! We decided that we needed a new trash can for the shop area, so we headed to Lowe's and found one. While we were there, we were walking around, and I always ask if we can get a new front door, because I can't see out the windows in our current door, so instead of spending $100 on a new door, we bought a $4 peep hole. I'm so happy, I now can tell who's on the front porch.

Then this morning we started by finishing painting my box that's going to hold my bulletin board containers. It turned out pretty cute. Take a look:

After we finished the box, I started cleaning a bit on my shelves in the basement, and I started going through some wedding gifts and stuff. Well, I remembered we had our hummingbird feeder that we needed to put outside.. So, we got it out, made the nectar and hung it up. Here's a view of our porch.

New Truck Topper

Well Jeff has been wanting a truck topper. We found some collapsible ones online, and we decided to buy one. http://www.autoenhance.com/softopperapps2.html It'll help when we take our vacation to Bubba's this summer and will probalby be helpful when we go to Colorado in July! So, here are some pictures! :) We got it yesterday and installed it last night! :)

I've included outside pictures from all directions, inside pictures, and a sticker "for dummies" that made putting the topper together a bit easier!! :) The topper rails were also color coded, and the directions told us not to get our fingers pinched between the pieces...apparently, people have pinched their fingers before -- DUH!

Fun Pictures

Okay, so we've taken lots of fun pictures lately, and I'm just getting them uploaded on my computer today. So, here's some fun pictures :)











DeAnn and her signed Pampered Chef apron.










Here's a picture of George looking like he's sleeping at a wedding...he really wasn't, but it was just a funny picture!











Here is silly Cooper. He let me put the seat belt on him in the truck, and he never really cared! I guess he just wanted to be SAFE!!!

Oops!

Well, it's been quite a while since I've been on here to blog! I was busy working on plans for DeAnn's bridal shower, getting ready for her bachelorette party, getting my dress fitted, figuring out testing schedules for school, etc! There's just a lot going on! Sorry, I promise to be better from now on!

Now, here's a bit of good news: I'm going to be teaching in a regular classroom next year. I'm moving from special ed to probably 3rd grade -- it's not quite decided yet! :)
