Thanksgiving

I know I know, I promise to post some pictures of our tiling project soon....but for now you will have to be happy with this post!

On Wednesday my parents flew in from MN to join us for Thanksgiving. They were here until last night and it was great to have family around. I cooked a full turkey day feast for the 4 of us and our friend Gabe. The food turned out great and we still have a ton of leftovers!

Saturday we spent the night watching the UGA vs Ga Tech football game at a local pub in Athens called The Royal Peasant. We were thinking of going to the game but the temp for the night was going to be 30 degrees. WAY too cold for us :) Here are some pictures we took with my dad's cell phone of us at the pub.

Whistle while you work

Here I go again....not blogging. It again has been too long! Unfortunately, this one is going to be short. We have been in the process of tiling our kitchen and bathroom and it has been going slow. We started last Friday and I think we wont be done until this weekend. Once we are done I will have time to blog all about it. Until then... have a great week!

Nothing to blog about...

Wow it has been a LONG time since I have blogged! We have done little to nothing since going to Asheville 3 weeks ago.  Last weekend Trader Joe's opened up a store in Athens. I went on opening day with a friend and I had so much fun checking out all of their wonderful food! I cant wait to go back to get some specialty things....and to get more wine! The TJ brand of wine, Charles Shaw, is surprisingly wonderful for $3 a bottle!

Last weekend Eric and I started on a few improvements on the house. We are going to list it on the market in January and we have somethings that need to be updated before we try and sell. So we re-painted our living room/dining room  and all the trim in the rooms. We had never painted that room because we like the original color but it was looking dirty and had one too many scrapes and holes in it. The color wasn't exactly what we wanted but it still looks good. Before thanksgiving we plan on tiling our kitchen and replacing our counter tops. I am excited to have an updated kitchen! I wish we would have done it a lot sooner than a few months before listing the house for sale. :) Oh well!

This weekend will be a busy one...Friday night we are going over to a friends for their annual 5th of November party. We will be watching V for Vendetta outside on a projector. It will be cold so I plan on bringing my sleeping bag!

We also will be going to the UGA vs Idaho State game with our friend Matt. He had a few extra tickets and was willing to share! This will be our first game we have been to in two years....I cant wait! GOOO DAWGS!

Maybe I did have something to blog about :)
