Christmastime in full swing

It's December 1st and I'm still not quite in the Christmas spirit yet.  At school there's decorations everywhere, some of which I put up.  But our house.... nothing.  I really haven't gotten the desire to decorate the tree yet, but I think Farmboy and I will tackle it tonight.  So that's our evening plans... then I have to figure out what to get for everyone.  Wish me luck!

Happy Birthday to Me! ... a little early

My birthday is the day after Thanksgiving this year.  Since it's always too crazy with Thanksgiving, we have always celebrated early or occasionally late.  So it usually turns into a week or more celebration.  This year is no different.  We started celebrating with lunch at school last Friday, with the Thanksgiving craziness we got it out of the way early.  Then my mom is taking me shopping in the "big" city Saturday.  When Farmboy mentioned my present had arrived in the mail, I got a bit excited!  He told me before it came that I'd have to wait until the day.  Then yesterday when it arrived, he said I could pick when I opened my gift.  So of course, I immediately ripped it open!

He got me an iphone!  Yay!  Now after school I'm headed to my parents to steal their internet.  I'll get it all set up so I can play with my new toy.  :) 

Sister-in-law news

My sister-in-law is now engaged!  Yay!  This is Farmboy's sister, very farmboyish herself.  You can't tell that girl not to do something... like climb all over my roof... if the guys are doing said thing.  Me, I'm not anything like that.  There are certain things(lots of things) that are meant to be done by the boys!  That's not her philosophy.  So, I'm so happy for her to find a guy who's strong enough to not get freaked by that.  I still think my proposal story's way cooler, but he did a good job.  Happy for her, and ready to start helping with planning.

A little more than a year ago

It's crazy to think about what we were doing a year ago!  It's been a busy year. 
October 3rd: Farmboy proposes
October 4th: The planning and dreaming goes full force
November 26th: I get another year older
December 25th: A really great Christmas season celebrating with both our families
March 2nd: Farmboy hits the big 30
April: Bridal Shower season, we have 3 showers
May 22nd: I become Mrs. Farmboy
June 1st: I go back to work with the itty bitty kindercampers
July ?: We went on our honeymoon... is it sad that I can't remember the date??
August: We both go back to school to start a new year (my 6th, his 9th)
October: Roofing our humble home, not a superfun experience but a needed one :)

And the roofing project continues... it goes on and on and on!

So this past weekend we started reroofing our house.  My hubby and dad started tearing off the shingles on Thursday, and we were still ripping it all off Saturday.  We lost some of our help due to stupid stuff, but I won't go into that drama!  Anyway, we're still working on it!  So ready for it to be done.  Of course it stormed on us Monday.  I ran around like a crazy lady with buckets, and every single mixing bowl I own.  It's all getting better now, at least it's dry!  OK, ladies sorry for my b-fest.  I'll post again soon, hopefully something more exciting.
