Not much has been going on. I've been in a bit of a slump. Just kind of hanging out with the hubby and friends. But the weather is turning and I am starting to feel energized again. Time for spring cleaning and BBQs. This past winter was really draining on me. I just hope the weather holds for a while.
I'm starting to get really busy. My home based business is doing its spring boom. Which is a blessing and a curse. I love the money but don't like the time I put into it. Every time I think about stopping I get lots of business and can't tell people, "No, I don't want your money. Sorry."
We remodeled our upstairs bathroom in February. It turned out really nice. From drab grey to vivid blue and white. It looks very clean. We are accenting it with seashells. Kind of played out but I like it.
David and I have been trying to get pregnant for about a year now. Some minor issues that we have worked out with the doctor and were hoping to see results soon. David bought me a baby blanket and a "My First Teddy" for my birthday. It was really sweet. Its nice to know that he is ready for a family.
My Mom and Sister came to visit in December. It was great to have them here. Leah taught me how to knit. I have to admit though, I have not worked on it since she left.
One of David's cousins also came to visit for New Years.
Some friends of mine and I went on a girls birthday weekend in Denver a few weekends back. It was a blast. Were thinking about making it an annual trip.

My Husband is Amazing!
My husband went pheasant hunting for 6 days and when he got back he had an Acer netbook for me. How sweet is that. Its perfect for me and I am just loving getting in set up just for me. Of course no of it would have been possible without my mother-in-law who bought it off her husband to give to my hubby as a gift. So thanks Mom too!

A Brand New CAR!
So a few weeks ago my husband bought a "New" car for me. I was keeping my enthusiasm in check until now. It's a 1996 Saturn SL2 Manual. I love it. Its gold and I can deal with that. But Its a car, and not just any car, my car. Paid In Full.We bought it for cash at the local dealership. And its almost exactly like my first car. (Which was a 1996 Saturn SL2 but it was green with a sun roof and spoiler.)
It needed some love and boy did we give it. New Windshield, front tire, valve cover gasket, spark plugs and wires. We also did a little cosmetic work to it. New OH SHIT handles in the back, rear deck lid, rear ash tray (for change), some trim on windows and a Saturn emblem on the hood. And an oil change and new wipers for good measure.
So I am re-acquainting myself with driving a stick. Its been over 4 years since I have driving one. Or had a car to myself in that long. I look forward to the day that I don't kill it.

Totes, totes and more totes
On Friday after work I started cleaning out a hall closet. This closet is add in the way it was built and so, not knowing what to do with it I started tossing stuff in it. Its above the stairs to my basement so in order to accommodate the stairs it has stairs itself. Which make 3 different levels of storage space in it. Its a deep closet because of this. So After I emptied all the contents into the living room I measured all the "steps" and headed to Wal-Mart.
After purchasing $100 in totes I went home and started filling them. Hubby came home and helped out too. Because of all the room we made in the closet, we had room to store kitchen appliances that we don't use very often. I don't think my kitchen counters have ever been so clean.
On Saturday I went back to Wal-Mart and spent another $100 on totes to organize two more hall closets. My linen and coat closets. I also bought 2 extra large totes to store blankets in.
My house feels very organized at the moment. I am trying to get rid of things I have been saving for "someday I might need them". I am a huge pack rat and no longer want to be. I have 3 more upstairs closets to go through and 3 down stairs and a downstairs bedroom. I am hoping to tackle those in the next few months. I need to save up some more tote money.
I spent Sunday on the couch with the hubby enjoying one of the last weekends together before hunting season is fully underway.
