Christmas

Stewart and I had a great Christmas. We went home to stay with family for almost a week. It was a nice break from a long semester of school. Stewart and I were able to go snowboarding with my dad and brother. This was Stewart's first time and I hadn't been in almost three years. We had a great time. Stewart fell a lot, but if you ask him he will tell you that he got really good at getting up off the ground. I thought he did a great job and really got the hang of it. We are hoping to go again. One funny thing that happened to us was mom's Christmas trick. She kept telling everyone that she could only afford to get us toilet paper for our Christmas present. Well the smart women that she is, she did get us toilet paper, but she put money inside of it! It was great!!!




Stewart and I also went to Fast Lane with his family. We had a great time racing against Parker, Justin, and Lanae. Parker won, and I came in dead last!




Here we are after our race was over.


Stewart and Justin in their racing suits in case they crashed.


It was a great time being with family.

More than just a hole in the ground

The contractors told me and Stewart that they are trying to get the whole house closed in as fast as they can, so they can work inside while it is cold out. So, I will probably be posting lots of pictures in the next couple of weeks.

This is the front of the house
Here I am standing in the door that goes into the laundry room. Our bedroom is next to the laundry room.

Stewart is standing where the front door will be


This is were our dinning table will be. These cutt outs are for the windows, and next to the windows is the door leading to the backyard.

The basement

Yea! You can kinda get a good look at what the basement looks like. This is a view from the living room. You can see down the hall and the rooms on the right are the bedrooms. The rooms on the left are the utility room and the bathroom. The room in the back is another bedroom.


This is Stewart standing on our front porch. The cut out is for the stairs going to the basement.
