Christmas Present to Myself

This past Christmas I saw a lego Beach House set that I really wanted. One of my favorite toys growing up was legos. Chad said he looked everywhere and had his family looking too and no one could find the Beach House for me for Christmas. But, after Christmas when the stores started restocking I finally found it and bought it for myself! Here's a picture of me working on it...

...and the finished house!

Helping Dad Move

Since my Dad got a job in Topsail Beach, NC we helped him move back to Wilmington over the Martin Luther King holiday. While I was packing some stuff Sandy decided to sit right by one of the bags. I think she wanted to try to sneak along on the trip!

Here is a picture of beautiful Wrightsville Beach! It was cold, but so pretty at the beach.

Here's a picture of me & Chad at the beach.

First snow of 2009

We had the first snow of 2009 on Jan. 20th, which was nice because it was the day after we came home from Wilmington so we had an extra day off! It didn't snow much only an inch or two at the most, but it was nice to have a snow day. Here's a picture of the front of our house...

...and the back "yard" too.

Superbowl 2009

We decided to have a few friends over to watch the Superbowl this year - even though the Panthers weren't in it. Here's Chad grilling the massive amount of hotdogs we had. Now keep in mind with this picture we only had 5 people eating - but everyone brought lots of hotdogs to share!


Here is everyone in our 3D glasses for the special 3D commercials (which were pretty lame I thought). From the left Dave, me, Melanie and Adam.
