Lindley's new style

I finally talked Lindley into letting me cut her hair. Added bonus, she actually agreed to let me dye and highlight it also. WHAT!!! Never thought she'd go for that. This was the first time I've ever dyed hair and I think it turned out pretty good.

New floors

Whoohoo!!! We saw our new floors for the first time today.
They are so beautiful!!!! Turned out way better than I ever
imagined. Now, onto painting. Not my favorite thing to do,
but Marquesas has convinced us it's not an impossible task :)

Christmas

Christmas has come early this year due to different work schedules with family members. We celebrated with Brad's family in Quincy on Dec. 20th. It was fun this year to have Brett's girlfriend there. Brad's grandma always does a good job of decorating and cooking. Breakfast was great! Today, Brad and I did Christmas with his parents at 1100am and then Christmas with my family at 700pm. Ashley and I both have to work tomorrow morning, and then we will all be heading to Alabama. Brad will get to test out his new Tom-Tom(GPS) on the drive. I'm kinda excited about work tomorrow because I can wear holiday scrubs instead of my normal, boring uniform.

We gave Brad's parents coats for their little dogs. They actually didn't mind wearing them and were soo cute. It's been fun being at my parents this year. In Christmas movies, the grown kids always come home to visit, but since we live in the same town that was never going to happen. Well ,it did this year :)

Back in the nest :)

Due to the house repairs, Brad and I are staying at my parents house. It's been alot of fun. Matthew's having a blast with us being here, he's thinks it's supposed to be a none stop party, lol! I've been riding to work with Dad, it's nice not to drive myself that early in the morning. Dad's also made me lunch for the last 2 days, which was much better than what I normally eat at work and healthier! Our air mattress is actually pretty comfortable, so no complaints :) Thank goodness today was Brad's last final, that stress on top of everything else was almost too much. I'm off for the weekend and intend to enjoy it! Tomorrow night we're going to a Christmas party for the hospital, then Saturday night is my dept's party. FUN, FUN, FUN!!!

Water, water everywhere

Well, we went from no water running to our house, to water running all over our house. We woke up Sunday morning to water overflowing from the wash machine (we're not placing any blame on our friends that gave us the washer, accidents happen) that is located upstaires. There was water in the upstaires hallway and both spare bedrooms. Upon traveling downstaires, we found that it was raining in the hall, bathroom, and dining room. Our new light fixture in the bathroom had become a water fall! Thank goodness we were given a surplus of towels when we got married, because we used them all! Basically, the only rooms not affected are our bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and half the living room. We called a company that brought in approx 15 heavy duty fans and dehumidifiers yesterday to dry things out. Today they are ripping apart the walls and floors to dry out the insides. We're still not sure of the extent of damage, but thank goodness for house insurance. Being a homeowner is so much fun!
