Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
Andy is packing for the annual Sigma Chi Grand Praetor meeting. He flies out early tomorrow morning for San Diego. Normally, I would be jealous that he gets to go to sunny San Diego when it is supposed to be cold here, but our new furniture comes on Saturday! I’m excited!
Andy and I got a night out to enjoy a Mizzou Men’s Basketball game. Unfortunately, Mizzou forgot to play the second half and ended up losing, but I still enjoyed a night out with my husband. Thanks to Uncle Jeremy for watching the kids for us!
Welcome to 2017. Time for property tax declaration and homeowner’s association dues!
I wandered downstairs this afternoon to discover the kids laying on the couch and Andy comfortable in his recliner. I think we can classify this as a lazy day…
Ian, Amanda, and Jack came to visit us for the night. They were driving home from their yearly Christmas trip and stopped through to see us. The kids were so excited to see Jack again! We spent the evening eating good food, hanging out, and talking. A great way to spend time with family in our new home!
What a great, relaxing New Year’s Eve! We spent the day together as a family and just enjoyed the time. The first part of our new living room arrived today. It took about an hour to get the padding underneath down and then to get the rug placed properly. I really love it! I am very excited to get the rest of the furniture next weekend.
I made sure to get a good picture of the kids to end 2016.
While Andy and I watched football bowl games, the kids decided to make a blanket fort in the basement and spend the evening watching movies and playing games.
We enjoyed a great dinner of Chicago-style Deep-Dish Pizza made for us by Andy and then spent the rest of the evening just relaxing.
We were so tired that we decided to ring in the New Year on Eastern time. The kids had Sparkling White Grape Juice while Andy and I shared our favorite champagne.
Happy New Year family and friends! Here is to 2017!
I was working on organizing the basement today and I came across a box filled with these – our engagement announcement, wedding invitations, all the cards from our wedding, and a picture of our wedding cake. I had a great time sharing all these with Laura. What a great trip down memory lane (even if I still can’t believe these were from twenty years ago!).
