Paintin'

Since I am now unemployed I have had some awesome spare time to do house stuff. The last few weeks we have been scraping popcorn ceilings, spraying the ceilings, painting and getting NEW windows!! The new windows were installed today in a very cold house. We only got two hours to stare at the beauties before it turned dark. Now we will have to wait a whole week to see them again in daylight. I am hoping the house temperature is more stable with a cheaper bill :)

We leave for the airport tomorrow at 3:45 AM for College Station, TX. Going to spend Thanksgiving with Jake, Joan and Rick in the south. I can't wait--I've never been to TX! We get back at 1 AM on the 30th.

Here are a few pics of what has been keeping us busy! More to come later.


Bridger loves to cuddle. Whenever he sees one of us get comfy on the couch, he is right there making him self comfy as well.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Gobble Gobble!

Tree Triming

We had a few dead trees and a really huge bush covering our front window. It was time to get rid of them. Here are the before and after shots.




The guard dogs


We then took our branches to the Bellevue Transfer Station. I assumed it was going to be a dump like Glendive, not exactly. Here is the "city" dump :)

These are the trailers you dump your stuff in.
The semis drive under the building in the middle. We unloaded on the upper left side.

It smelled so bad! Here is the hole we dumped in. The yellow cords were annoying to go around. I guess they are for safety!

AFTER!!!
Nate said he would do yard work more often since he could watch the game at the same time :)

Happy Halloween!!!

To start out our wonderful day, Nate surprised me with tickets to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. What a great husband :) The show was just o.k. Not what we expected, but the singing was amazing!!



This year I got to choose what Nate and I were going to dress up as. I also chose to make them---what was I thinking!?

Bridger helping by turning the costume gold :)


I guess Nate and I didn't take an actual photo together on our camera. Here are two photos to give you full body shots.

Check out the awesome spray job Nate did :) Since I have a TON of hair, I decided to style my own Wilma hair. It was soo puffy and once Nate sprayed the orange hair color it flattened and hardened a bit. One of our friends referred to it as a Cheeto-- must have been hungry :)

Here we are with our crazy friends we hang out with out here, minus Becky, the photographer. I do have to let you know, we made it home with our costumes in one piece!

Go Cats!

Nate and I met Joan and Rick in Spokane for the Cat game. It was a quick, fun weekend. Would have been better if the refs didn't loose the game for us. Terrible call!! We sure miss watching the Cats play. But don't worry, Nate makes sure we watch all the Seattle games we can to make up for them.

Yep, first time we pulled out the heavy winter coats! Good choice on my part since we had hail during the game. I did miss it, until I had to experience it during the game :)

Nate just called it a game of 5 different weathers: cold, windy, sunny, hail, rain....lovely!
