Painting...

We spent probably over 2 hours at home depot today. Our time is limited right now because of working, lawyer appointments, showing the rental house for the landlords so we stood in front of the paint color boards and figured out what we wanted to do with every room in our new house. 5 cans of paint later... we have a bit of work ahead of us! (Don't worry Mom, we took advantage of a rebate deal on the paint!!)

More Sold Pictures

After driving by how many times? We finally got out and took our pictures with the sold sign. No one to take our picture together... but, you get the idea!!

SOLD

How exciting is that sign? Still kind of in disbelief about the whole thing... only 8 more days until we take possession!

I never envisioned moving in the snow, but, seems that is the reality this time of year in the Okanagan... thank goodness we have at flat drive way at our new house (can't say the same for the rental)

Flower Girl Dresses have arrived!

Brian and I are having all the nieces as flower girls in our wedding. I found some super cute dresses on Ebay and after collecting sizes from all the mommies, I placed the order! They arrived today and are super cute. What a fun package to get in the mail. Lilah, Cali, Sophie, Scarlett and Olivia are all going to look so sweet.

Tuesday Night...

Just a boring Tuesday night and a puppy rub...

Kona's Vet Visit

We finally got Kona in for her spay appointment yesterday. The vet said she did just great, no problems at all, she was a very good patient. She was so doped up when I picked her up, she wasn't herself at all. When we got her home Tag was pretty worried about her. He kept trying to lay next her on the dog bed. Kona is back to her normal puppyself this morning. Big appetite after not much food yesterday. We have to keep her inactive for the next week so she can heal... no running, jumping, stairs... that will be the challenging part!

Court Day & Our First House

The idea was to drive to court in Kamloops and be there to bid against anyone trying to scoop our house out from under us... As you can see from below, we got quite snowed in. As we were making our attempt to get to Kamloops, it was snowing so bad and the drive was so slow, there was no way we were going to make it. We cut our losses and had breakfast at McDonald's and then headed home to shovel snow and wait to hear the fate of our new home. Our realtor was just great, he was texting me the whole time letting me know everything that went on from the other realtor showing up with his clients to making our 2nd offer to WE WON!! We got our first house! We are so excited, we take possession on Jan 31st... its sooo quick but feels so far away!

The endless task...  and our truck stuck at the bottom of our driveway

Its like we have a tunnel for a driveway... you keep shoveling snow on top of snow!

Looking out the door onto our deck... 

We have icicles all around the house... I thought it was pretty until Dad told me that meant the roof isn't properly insulated and the snow is melting... haha... oh brother

Kona loves the snow...  she is always asking (barking at us) to go outside
