brrrrrrrr...ok so honestly it really really is cold

Hi guys!

Hope everyone is staying warm in this crazy weather.  :) I am in Houston and hopefully heading back to the Big frozen D tomorrow morning before it snows in Houston on Friday.  Who's ready for summer??????

Ok so a LOT has happened since I last wrote.....We had an awesome weekend showing off the house.  We had a ton of visitors which was super fun.  In town visitors:  Aunt Mimi, Aunt Ellie, Uncle John, Maddie, Rusty, Sean, Austin and Anna out of towners:  Joy, Stephen, my angel godson Jameson, Charlie, MOM AND DAD!! WOOHOO!! Mom and Dad were finally able to come up and see the house.  Patrick and I were so so excited that Dad was feeling so great and was able to see the house.  It was so fun seeing them!  It's hard to believe that (hopefully) the next time they come up, they will be able to stay with us at the house!  We are hoping to be in the house the end of Feb...keeping our fingers crossed ESP with the awesome weather that has halted everything as of today.  Seriously, we live in Texas?

Light fixtures were going to be hung today but due to the bitter cold, ice, snow, etc no one in Dallas is working today....(patrick is!  He's working hard for his money..eehh eehh ehhh...well just chatted with him and he is watching the OC with Maddie and Katie....almost a full day i guess!) :) 

Okie dokie, so here's whats new:  (fyi: crazy how fast it's moving)

Well, I hope ya'll enjoyed the photos!  We cannot be more excited, esp we the thought of moving in soooo soon.  Our baby apt is hilarious.  All the new things we keep buying having taken over the apt sooooo basically no room at the inn.  :)  We are SOOOOO excited that Toby, Nina and Pat are going to be in town this weekend.  WAHOOOO!!!!  We cannot wait for them to be here and to see the house.  :)  Everyone have a safe and wonderful week!  Miss Sally's birthday is this Friday and it seems it might snow on Friday so she might get a snow day.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :) 

Have a very safe week!
