Happy 60th Birthday!

WE LOVE YOU MOMMY!!!

We are #1

At least for a day, NC STATE is #1 in the ACC standings for men's college basketball!!!  Woo hoo!  However, in all honesty, we are sharing the #1 spot with Duke and FSU.

That does not matter to me at all!  I can at least for 1 day say we are #1 in our conference.  I haven't been able to say that for a LONG time!!!!

Happy New Year - 2012 Style!

Happy New Year from us!

Compromising...

For awhile now, Wezul has wanted a much taller tree.  I wanted a much fuller tree.  Wezul wanted a tree that was at least 12' and he wanted to place it by our stairs.  I wanted a much small, thicker tree, and leave it where we always have it.  Unfortunately, we could not find a tree that met both requirements.  After looking for over a year, we found this little tree.  It stand in at 9'.  It is much thicker than any previous tree we have owned.  

Despite coming in 3 ft shorter than Wezul wanted, he had to used the 6 ft ladder to place the star on the top of the tree.  We are both very happy with the final product.  This year, we were able to forgo using any "filler" ornaments.  This year, the tree is covered by ornaments that Wezul has purchased each year we have been together, and ornaments that were given to us both loved ones...whether they be family or friends.  Decorated the way a Christmas tree should be decorated...with meaning.

7 Year Hitch

In February 2012, we will have been in our house for 7 years.  Our house will be 7 years old.  Apparently there is a 7 year hitch with houses just as there are with marriages.  The mechanics of our garage door are loud; however, on Veteran's Day, it decided it was not loud enough.  Thank goodness for holiday sales....

I know...he is reading the directions

Jason was a little excited I think.  He stayed up until 11 pm working on it.  Saturday morning we finished installing the working parts of it.

Yeah, putting up a garage door isn't too exciting.
