I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We even got snow here in Dallas!
I'm flying to San Francisco this week for work so I won't be posting any new entries for a while. Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

Painting, painting and more painting
Back to the home renovations that started over 3 years ago...The first room we painted was our master and with the help of Keith's mom, Vicki, we were in great hands. This was the first and last room anyone would come over to help us paint. The rest of the house, we were on our own. I can understand why people HATE painting and Keith is definitely one of those people!
Before we started painting, Keith and his dad installed a brand new ceiling fan in the master bedroom, which was my birthday present that year. Funny how owning a house changes what you ask for as gifts. I never thought I would want ceiling fans, outdoor lights, Elfa shelving, etc. until we were homeowners.
Most of these photos are blurry which is why Keith gave me a new Canon Elf for Christmas. Now I had a good excuse to take pictures of our home transformation with a camera that actually worked.

Ready to begin...
Keith gets the "easy" job of rolling the paint onto the walls and I end of doing the trim and edges since Keith says he's not very artistic and can't paint a straight line.

Happy Birthday Pierce!
Our little nephew turns FOUR YEARS OLD today! I can't believe he is a little man now. He's all the way across the world in Singapore and has lived there for almost three years. We miss him terribly and hope to see him soon.
We love you Pierce and hope you have a great birthday!!

Out with the old, in with the new!
Happy New Year!
Keith and I had a big decision over the holidays...what to do with his 2007 Jetta. His lease was up in February and with his car thousands and thousands of miles over the limit, we either had to pay a penalty or trade in his car for a "new" one. By new, I mean new to us!
So, we decided on buying a 2007 Acura MDX. It's a beauty and we absolutely love it. With leather (heated) seats, a sun roof and dual AC, we are both in heaven.
Here she is in all her glory:
It should be perfect when the baby arrives - Keith and I just have to figure out who gets to drive the new car!
