Christmas Crafts

I love to make crafts! So this Christmas, Brent and I made 2 stools for our cousins' little girls - Molly and Addie. They were fun to make. They turned out pretty well. Although we messed up a little bit on the ladybug. I stole the idea from my friend Jen P. Thanks Jen!

New Things

Well it's ours! We signed the papers on the 23rd! Brent and I are now home owners!! Hooray!! We are moving in the 2nd week in January - most likely! We plan to paint some and start working on part of the floors after we return from camp next week! Also, we now have 2 black lab puppies! They are so cute! Brent got me a puppy for Christmas - his name is Hurley and he is 6 weeks old today! He's such a chunk! Cody was given to us by April, Brent's sister! Cody is 12 weeks old! They sure are a hand full! I think they will be great dogs for us. Cody is named for the Alabama lineman and Hurley is named for the character from the TV show LOST, it is also in honor of our time in Texas! I'll have to post pics later! It was crazy yesterday at our house - there were 5 dogs and a 1 year old baby! My parents have two dogs and our two and my brother and his wife spent the night and brought their little dog!

I hope everyone had a very enjoyable Christmas!

December 22

That's our closing date! Well, projected closing date, I should say! It's so crazy! We are getting closer to owning our own house and 6 beautifully wooded acres!!! All though takes an act of Congress to buy a house, it really has moved along quite quickly! Brent has been fabulous and has done EVERYTHING! I think the only thing I have had to do is make a copy of my driver's license and sign a few papers!

We probably will not move in until January. There are a few things that need to be done to the house. Some of the flooring needs to be repaired and it needs a good face-lift in paint. It's pretty exciting!

I'll keep you updated on what happens and post a few pictures, but probably after the 22nd!
