Bedroom Changes

I also decided that our bedroom needed a new coat of paint. I do not have any before pictures, but I do have the after! This is the picture that started it all!


Our new piece of furniture! I think it looks great in our room!


I am still looking for the perfect bedspread. But this one will do for now. Janet, your quit will always have a place in our bedroom! I really love it on our bed!

Our New Dishwasher, YEAH

Well as stated in a couple of post earlier...we got a dishwasher for Christmas! YEAH!

Here is a picture of the boys putting it in... things were kind of a mess, but that is okay, I got a dishwasher!



This is what it looks like now! YEAH!



We also installed a Microhood and a new gas stove. Here is Arturo cutting out the Cabinet above the stove!



Here is what it looks like now!

Training has begun!

Hi everyone! Sorry for the deliquesces in not posting... I am making a pack to start posting again, at least once a week. Spring is on its way so there should be a lot to post! We are planning a lot for this spring and summer. The house (outside) needs painting, we are planting a vegetable garden, again this year and we are also going to do a little landscaping! Busy, Busy!

On to the title of this post...

I have started training for my first half marathon! So last week I ran 3 miles, Monday, Wednesday and Friday and I am going to run 4 today. This coming week I plan to run 3 on Monday, 4 on Wednesday, 3 on Friday and then five over the weekend. From there I will continue to build up on mileage! I plan to run the 32nd Annual Lincoln National Guard Marathon & Half-Marathon, in Lincoln, NE on May 3rd! I will keep you all up to date on my progress... Wish me luck!

Stay tuned...I have pictures to post of the kitchen and bedroom up-dating!

Long Time, No Post

Well, it has been ages! The Christmas season took a tole on me, but it was a blast. We are just now slowing down and getting in the swing of work, class, research and life!

We had a great Christmas, I went and watched Robin graduate from Texas State. It was great to see all of my family during the Christmas season. I think I miss that the most. Then I flew to New Mexico and we spent a week in Moriarty. Like always it was a blast! We got some great gifts, but the best was money to by a dishwasher. That is right I will never have to wash a dish again, or at least in this little house! YEAH! We also bought a new stove and microhood. We have had a blast updating our little home. I also repainted our bed room last weekend. I am not for sure about the color, but I will live with it for a while. I do not think I could paint it anytime soon. That is such hard work. I will share pictures of both kitchen and room, once I get them taken.

I have been in Phoenix at the National Cattlemen Beef Association convention. I have had a great experiences and can not wait to come back. There are some great folks working for the beef industry. It excites me!

Well, I have got to run. Need to catch a flight back to Manhattan.

Hope all is well with you all and I promise I will be better about posting.

Love you all!

IPod Touch

Well, I have been introduced to the IPod Touch and I want one something fierce. These things are amazing! You can use it as an IPod, but also have your calender, access the internet and so so much more. Check them out here at the Apple Store.

Isn't a beauty? Arturo thinks I am crazy, but I think he will be in amazement once he has a chance to play with one. They are way cool! Technology today...

Vegas Baby!

We just returned from Vegas. We met some of our closest friends out there for the Rodeo Finals! It was sooo much fun. Here are a few pics from our trip!

Us at the top of the Efile Tower at the Paris hotel!

The ladies after the rodeo!

The group headed to the Rodeo. From left to right Justin and Danielle Noble, Shelby and Landon Shaw and us!

The National Anthem at the Rodeo. This brings me to tears at any Rodeo. I believe that it is the true American way!

The strip during the day. I thought I took a picture at night, but I guess I did not!

Christmas

I wanted to share our Christmas decorations in our little home! Below is what Mom did over Thanksgiving. I found the vintage ornaments in Warrenton at the Antique show and LOVE them.


I did the PEACE over the TV on my little white shelf. I love it as well.



Then our little tree!


I have a tree and a Santa for beside the door, but just have not had time to put it up!

Merry Christmas to all!
