Busy Busy

It's been a busy couple of weeks since I last blogged. I try to blog once a week, but sometimes it's so crazy I'm lucky to do the things I HAVE to do after work, much less the things I WANT to do. We've been keeping busy here, that's for sure. A couple of weeks ago Mom and Dad dropped in for a little overnight visit. It was so fantastic to see them! We went out to dinner then got them on the Wii fit...sooo much fun! Here they are working it:





We also went to Winter Jam, which was fantastic! OF course Third Day was our favorite group there, but most all of them were great! Here's a pic of Mac Powell that Jonathan took:



Last weekend Amber came to visit. It was so great spending time with her! I didn't get any pictures of the weekend, but we had a great time. We went to see Dear John (she was right...the book is definitely better than the movie) and made a pineapple upside down cake. She also got to come to church with us on Sunday, which was great!

We've been doing a few things around the house too in our spare time. I'm working on a post for that :) Maybe this week I'll have time to finish it and post it? We shall see...

Snow Snow Go Away

We got another big snow storm this weekend. This is the 3rd one of the winter. I'm a tiny bit (aka ALOT) over the snow. It's pretty when it falls, but when it starts accumulating and we can't leave the house, I get frustrated. This is the second weekend in a row we have had snow on Friday/Saturday. Thank goodness this one let up a little earlier so we were able to get out of the house yesterday. We ventured to Wal Mart to get a few groceries then went out to dinner. And we get to have church today! It seems like forever since we've been (even if it has only been 2 weeks).

Since there was still snow from the last storm when this one started, we ended up with alot of it on the ground. Here's a pic of Jonathan shoveling the driveway:



We took Mac on a little walk down the street, and he loved it! We saw quite a few snowmen in the people's yards, but this one was by far my favorite. It's seriosuly about 10 feet tall!



Lucky for me (and Jonathan) I won't go crazy today because we get to leave the house. I go a little stir crazy being inside for too long :) But hey, don't we all?

February Already?

I can't believe it's already February. My how time flies. In January I made a new year's resolution to post at least one blog a week - you can see how well that's going for me. But maybe February is the month of new beginnings?

Things are going well around Casa Coleman. We are enjoying our home (with a few new improvements in the past month! More to come on that later), enjoying the puppy (I guess he's not really a puppy anymore) and enjoying our first year of marriage (9 months already?!? We could have a child by now!)

Mac is doing great :) He is such a good little pup. He sure has grown since we got him! Here is a picture of him the first week we had him:



And here he is around Christmas time:



He's such a sweet baby boy :) We love him to pieces!

So, I drive Jonathan crazy talking about all of the things I want to do around our house. I actually have a "to-do list" of things I'd like done in 2010 - albeit possibly unrealistic, but it's good to have goals, right? Well a couple weeks ago I saw this picture in a magazine:

I about had a heart attack :) I wanted that closet for my scrapbooking supplies! And Jonathan helped make that dream come true! I cleaned out the closet, he painted it and hung the new shelves, then I organized and decorated it how I wanted. Isn't she a beauty?!?





I totally love it! What's next on the list for the house? Hmmm...a couple of new light fixtures/fans, more storage/shelving in the kitchen, new wooden blinds for all the windows, switching the cabinet pulls from gold to brushed nickel, a few decor items...and the list goes on! And hopefully I'll keep my New Years..uh.. February Resolution, to post on here once a week. We'll see how that goes...
