We had a wonderful time in Portland...its so beautiful there. I didn't get pictures of our Turkey Trot we did Thursday morning...boy was it cold. It was a 4 mile walk down hill and back up. Once we were done we were ready to eat. We didn't do much besides just sit around the house. It was nice to catch up w/ family and relax. Laura was a great hostess (as always) and a wonderful cook. Steve you weren't too bad yourself:) p.s. thanks for warming up the crab for me...it was delicious!!! I did capture more on film then I did on the camera which is why I don't have many pictures. But it was still a wonderful Thanksgiving/Christmas and we'll never forget it.

Painting is fun

Just wanted to let you know we haven't posted any pictures because I left my camera cord in Portland. My sister will be sending it soon. By then you will be able to see before and after wall colors.

We signed papers on the 29th so we are officially homeowners...and we are realizing the cost of everything that goes into it. We bought primer this weekend to paint the walls. I never realized how much primer it would take. Hopefully this week we can get some colors on the wall. Next is carpet and then moving. I can't wait...our goal is to be in by the middle of December. Wish us luck.

I will post pictures soon.
