A Tiny Preview

This is our new entertainment center and DVD stand. We are going for dark brown so this summers project is to restain the DVD stand because pictures on the internet are very deceiving. But it will be fun to have a summer project! This is one of two lamps in the Living room, those are pretty much the colors, the dark brown table, the maroon lamp shade and the deep, kinda rusty gold as an accent. Also pictured are my new blocks from Joy for Christmas! I love them and they are my first decoration up! So today Brad and I are going to be working on the spare bedroom so we'll try to have pictures of that by Monday!!....Maybe.. ;)

Hoilday in the Sun!!

First, I should apologize for taking so long to update our blog. Since the beginning of December Brad and I have been packing and getting ready to move into a townhouse and go to California for a wonderful Chirstmas. So our big news is that we CLOSED on our house Christmas Eve at mom and dad's house and Jules is a notary so she did that with us that night also! It's been very exciting and stressful to unpack and get everything going, I don't know how people move so often, it's one of the hardest things I've done! But it's coming together and I will be posting pictures of the house as soon as we are a little more settled!
This Christmas we went down to California to see my family. We stayed for 9 days and enjoyed every one of them! It was so fun to see 2 of my sisters again and many of my aunts, uncles and cousins. One night we went to Jules apartment and made gingerbread houses! This was the back of Team Curnow's (mine and Brad) ours was the only one that stayed up and didn't break down, I think that's a sign!! ;) Mom suprised us a few months ago, with tickets to see Wicked!! Everyone in my family had seen it but me, so I was very excited! So Chirstmas Eve we went to Hollywood a little eariler since Brad had never been. We walked around and Brad got to see all the crazies that walk around and dress up like characters from movies, we went to the chinese theater and saw the hand prints of a lot of stars and a 70 year old Marylin Monroe! ha This is Brad and I infront of Capitol Records, Brad was excited to see that! Peace signs are for tourist, we wanted to fit the roll! ha

There is a better one of Capitol Records!
This is a picture of the Pantages Theater, where we saw Wicked! It had just started to rain! Not so good for the picture!




This is our Christmas present from the Curnows, it's official Trail Blazer Jerseys! We both have Brandon Roy ones! These were our Christmas Day outfits!


All and all it was a fun trip, Joy and Jim and the girls came to stay a few nights and we had fun playing with them! The girls loved their Uncle Brad! They always needed his say or opinion! ha For the Snowball Family, Brad was a fan of sweet soup! So I'm hoping that bumps me up a few levels on favorite grandchild! ha But it was such a treat to see so much family in such a short time. Sorry it took me so long to post anything but I've taken my first breath since we've been home! Love you all! And be waiting for an update on the house!!
