not My House

So many of you have heard that we did not get the fixer-upper house that we bid on. What I did get along the way was a ton of pictures of kitchen's I like. Here are a few...(thanks to cottage living)
(I spy a bread tin that I already own!!!)

my Real Estate Agent

So it has begun. Aaron and I are on the house hunt. I have a feeling this will be a bit exhausting, full of fun, probably some tears, but I am sure all worth it in the end. The rental that we are in now, is not welcoming us any more. Slowly things are falling apart, for example, it took about 1.5 hours to cook a pizza. Has anyone ever had a slow cooked pizza, if not, don't try it is it not good. Anyways, our friend Heather is going to help us buy a house that wants us to be there. Here is her new business card I designed for her.

my Last Year

Year in Review – 2008 – This was a good one!!! Among the moments that stand out each month (below), I am thankful for my friends and the many usual I do every month like happy hour with the Fords and Thomas, Girl’s Night when Dana makes mac & cheese and the kids are crazy, talking shop (not teaching, but tech) with Charla, taking “whooo” with Brooklyn, and get that special point from Jon Bob. I am also very glad to have been reunited with many of my friends from the past through FaceBook. I love seeing where their life is taking them. Here’s to a great 2008.
