Christmas 2009

We went up to Brad's hometown on Wednesday night hoping to miss a huge snow storm that was about to hit. The storm started getting really bad as we got closer to his parent's house and we were very lucky that we only had to drive in it for about 30 minutes. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with his side of the family.

Then we came home to this! We had about a foot of snow in our driveway. Brad shoveled the entire thing because the snow was so wet and heavy! My contributions would have been useless!

Then we hosted my family's Christmas on Saturday. It was the first time my parents, brother and his family, aunt and grandparents saw our new house. And it was our first time entertaining! We had to go to Trader Joe's to stock up on wine now that we have TWO wine racks!

We are finally in the Meyer Manor. We moved in the day before Thanksgiving. Then I started a new job on Monday, Nov. 30. Hence the lack of blogging. Now, all of a sudden, it's almost Christmas!

When we decided to build, I thought I'd be able to update this blog a few times a week with the house progress. Well, things moved SO quickly. Once I fell behind, it seemed impossible to catch up. Posting pictures on Facebook was about all I could do.

Now I hope to be able to update this blog more often as we get settled, decorate and begin this new phase in our lives!
