Happenings...

I know it has been a while since we have last blogged and believe me we have heard your cries for our update...so here it is.

In the last several weeks we have been working on more wedding planning - invitations, cake tastings (yum!) and flower quotes. Misty was supposed to visit her mom and go dress shopping one last time this weekend but she caught a cold and is now stuck at home to recooperate.

Nick has been working at Fantasy's gas station on Sunday's and Wednesday's. It cuts into his race schedule but he seems to be handling it pretty well. We both keep reminding ourselves that part time jobs are just temporary and they soon will pass.

This week was a rough one for Misty as her current position was eliminated due to a Reduction in the workforce at her company. 25% of their employees were laid off but Misty was fortunate to have senioity in her department and was able to accept another position working 12 hour day shifts and going back on a weekend and holiday rotation. It is not ideal but we are counting our blessings.

For Valentine's day we spent 32 hours in our main bathroom painting the trim, ceiling, vanity and walls. We also switched the mix and match gold and silver hardware all to brushed nickel. We hung a new light fixture and Nick says it is a "State of the art bathroom." We are so excited to have our first home improvement project done on our new home. We did have a candlelight dinner to top off the weekend!

We hope that this helps to keep you in the loop. Please feel free to keep in touch with calls and emails!
