Winter 2012-2013

Okay, So remember when I never added any great amounts of photos from New Years, Christmastime, OR Thanksgiving? Yeah. That was me. I haven't done anything productive with this in a long time, and I regret that. It's not that I have a need to blog, I know I'm not doing this for myself to gain blogger points or anything. It is just that I LOVE keeping you, my friends and my family in the loop. I LOVE pictures, and this seems like the best of both worlds to do that with. I regret that I am so far behind because I've got this compulsive disorder where I don't like to just jump right in without catching up.

I'm going against all that is inside my little journaling heart, and just starting right here. With today, like I have been keeping up with this blog on a regular basis.


{NOW}
Today: It is beautiful, white, snowy, 30-some degrees, and lovely. I think my legs fell off when I was playing outside and taking Cody around the yard. They're probably going to be found in the spring thaw. I seriously couldn't feel them when I cam in they were so tired. The snow is like hip-deep. Talk about a workout. HIP>DEEP!
Tim went to the Doctor today for his mystery 4+ week arm and torso rash that is only getting worse!!! Her thoughts are poison ivy, skin-irritant, or stress. Ugh, not super helpful. But, she gave him a prednazone creme and nighttime anti-histamine. If it doesn't relieve pain and get better by Thursday, he has to go back. IT IS AWFUL. Pray for him :(

{LATELY}
We live in our house! We had Chris & Jerri, Carl & Diane, and Mike & Suzy up here the 22nd and 23rd, and they helped us move moved us into our new place! Jerri, sweet Jerri, actually said these words: "I thrive on packing and moving!"   And let me tell you: She does! She is a moving ROCK STAR. Chris, Carl & Mike brought the whole garage over. You should have seen Mike, the Jimmy-Rigging-King load up the back of his pick up and his flat snowmobile trailer. It was AMAZING!!! We were like the Bemidji Hillibillies. There was literally a wooden chair tied on to the top and front of the trailer!

I (with Cody) flew to Colorado for a week with my family. I stayed at Jordan & Joy's, with Mom & Ken, and Alicia too! We got to see Jon for a fun Lord of the Rings RISK night **SO necessary!** and they took me to Hacienda Colorado! Yummy Mexican. We all went Snowshoeing near Jones Pass through the Butler's Gulch Trail. It snowed at least 4 inches WHILE we were out. It was so intense and beautiful. I carried Cody in a friend's Deuter Backpack for a while, and then made Jordy take a turn, too. It was a great time to see so many friends, and a pop-in visit to Southern Gables 3 Strands friends. Gosh, that felt like home!!

While I was in CO, Tim turned 28, so his dad came up to help him install our wood floors. He put in a LOVELY Rustic Oak 3-1/4inch unfinished. It is SO pretty right now, and we haven't even finished them yet. We haven't decided for sure on a stain or just the natural oil sealer thing. Both are gorgeous on the mixed-tone floors. Suzy also came up for a few days to help Tim de-stress, and bake him chocolate on chocolate cake. He had a good time staying up late and chatting, and getting lots of cleaning done together ! The house was a whole new place when I came home.

Now, we're getting ready for painting our bedroom ::  Sherwin Williams color Anonymous. It is a dark grey-green that will look fabulous with the Alabaster White Trim & Doors. YAY!!!



BEST Time with the Dolan Girls!!!
