The New Year's Coming

Well I'm glad to see that some people on my blog list are as bad as me about posting. One day I'll have time to do stuff again. I'm on Christmas break from dance right now and I'm loving it. I don't want to go back...I think I'm burnt out. How do you get burnt out on doing something you love? I don't know but I am. This school year has been extremely difficult. It hasn't killed me though, so I'm sure that in some twisted way it has made me stronger.
We got the boys pictures taken at the beginning of the month, so I'll have to find time to post them in the next few days, they are soooo cute. My mom and her husband, Steve, came to visit us. The boys loved having them here. After they left we had just a few days until Christmas. Those passed by really fast and we had a great holiday. The boys were so excited we woke them up at 10 min. to 4 in the morning so they could open their presents before Blake had to go to work. It was great. I thought that they would just be too rotten from being woke up to enjoy it, but they weren't. As soon as we told Ben that Santa had came....he was all smiles, and they only got bigger.
Well after Christmas there's always the clean up...that really hasn't begun too much yet. Brendon is slowly but steadily pulling all of the ornaments off the tree. We really need to go pick up all the boxes from our shed so we can put stuff away. We're just so lazy...have to haul it through the snow...and the biggest just remembering to pick them up when we're already out there.
Good news....our house is coming along, the basement floor was poured yesterday. The lumber is supposed to be here next week so they can start framing, and they are going to back fill next week sometime too. So that's great. Also, we have our cabinets ordered. Wow that was a big chunk of money, and it was only the deposit. We'are getting a great deal though. So I'm really excited, I just can't believe that finally I might have something that's really nice. Which rolls into the...
Bad news....So on Friday night two sets of our upper cabinets just fell off of our wall. Of course they had all of our glass cups and mugs and plates and stuff like that. Luckily most of the stuff didn't break just almost all of our cups and stuff. We do have to be thankful that no one was in the kitchen at the time because looking at it (and we did take pictures) it would have totally killed a child or really injured an adult. Now we're just on the fight for our landlord to actually fix the problem...that will be a huge fight, probably. I know somehow he's going to try to make us pay for it, but I've checked with my insurance company and talked to my contractor and stuff and they said it's not my fault so if he tries to make a claim against me insurance, they will counter and if he tries to keep our security deposit they said we can take him to small claims court, like we ever would, but at least we will have satisfaction of knowing that it wasn't our fault. I just really can't wait until we have something nice. I won't know what to do with myself if my house isn't falling apart all around me. It will be a new experince but a welcomed one for certain. Any ways I've talked enough, must people probably won't even make it to the end of this post. We love ya guys, and keep hope as our focus.
