It’s now 2010, and yes that’s pronounced twenty-ten, and Heather is still busy with school and I have been busy with honey-dos. Heather is now in her fourth semester of law school and she seems really excited about her Criminal Law class. I am however counting down the days until Summer.
With the help of my little brother David we installed a new porcelain floor in our kitchen, pantry, utility and entry way over the Christmas break. I was a little nervous about doing it ourselves but after finishing I’m happy we did. I’ll post up some pictures for everybody shortly. I’m still working on finishing out all of the trim. We are replacing the wood trim with the standard white trim to match the rest of the house.
We also survived The Blizzard of 2009 as everybody seems to be calling it. It also gave us a white Christmas which is a pretty big rarity (thankfully). The storm hit on Christmas Eve and left well over a foot of snow in some areas of the yard. It was a blast to watch the dogs run around and play in it. Bella looked like she had a bad case of dandruff and Snickers had to jump to move around because the snow came all the way up to her chest.
The week after Christmas we took off for Dallas to watch the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the Cotton Bowl. We showed up on Friday and had dinner with Heather’s Dad and Nancy at Boston’s. The next day we attended the OrangePower.com tailgate party to prep for the game. About 30 minutes before we headed in to the new Cowboys stadium in Arlington and it was AMAZING! Seeing pictures and video of the new stadium doesn’t do it justice. The jumbotrons are huge and crystal clear. Did I mention they are HUGE! That’s about where the fun ended for the trip since our offense couldn’t figure out how to score touchdowns. Even though we lost the game it was a great weekend and our first bowl game experience.
We also purchased a new camera with the holiday specials. We (I) picked up a Canon EOS Rebel T1i which I’ve loved playing with and learning more about photography. Hopefully with the new camera we’ll be able to post up more pictures on this here bloggy majig.
We hope everybody is staying warm and had a great holidays. We wish you the best in Twenty-Ten.
