The Garage

We finally have a garage big enough for both cars and the motorcycle and guess what - it is full of boxes!!!! I nicely asked Brett to keep all his pro gear in the garage since it could easily take up a whole room in the house. Now I have to wait until he gets back here so he can go through everything and ORGANIZE.

Happy Birthday!!

Yesterday was amazing in more ways than one. Brett and I got the kitchen, bedroom, living room and dining room unpacked. Everything is put away with the exception of the dining room. I have to find a wood doctor to fix my grandmother's dining room table. I don't want to put it together only to take it apart again to go and get repaired.

We had friends over to grill out and celebrate Brett's birthday. That is right - Brett shares his birthday with the good ole US of A. We had a wonderful cheesecake and went to see fireworks. This is a big deal because Brett hasn't liked fireworks since returning from Iraq. Can you blame him? They do sound like big explosions. He did great with them and hopefully this will become a yearly thing we can look forward to.

And now the task of finishing the house and reestablishing communications with all my friends whom I have seemed to have shut out for a while. Talk to you all soon!!
