Rainy Days...

As luck would have it I have today off (which I totally grateful for) but it's also raining like cats and dogs (not as grateful for). Oh well, at least this bad weather will give me a chance to catch up on my blogging and housework....bet you can't guess which one I'm procrastinating.

So here's been our lives as of late - we FINALLY got around to getting Brett's birthday present! Woohoo - it's an air compressor!

Despite how he looks in the picture he really was excited about it! Although I think this present goes into the category of "You know you're an adult when..." But in order to frame out the kitchenette and eventually Hardie plank the exterior we needed the air compressor. Although I think deep down Brett just loves tools.

Next we got my birthday present.  While this can also go in the "You know when you're an adult when..." category, it's slightly more self serving than the air compressor. For those of you that guessed a Nikon D5100 - you are correct!

After we got the camera we had to get a better lens, then camera bag, then lens protector, then the memory card....suffice it to say the camera wasn't the most expensive part of the present. I'd been wanting to pick up photography as a hobby and of course needed the camera to better document our home renovation! So far I've taken approximately 100 pictures of Shelby! She's quickly becoming one of the world's most photographed dogs.

Shelby certainly doesn't seem to mind the attention!

Besides my camera I got another big birthday present, my Mom and Grandma were able to come to town and celebrate with me. They even made me pot roast, mashed potatoes, and gravy on my birthday! And of course Shelby and Grandma got some quality time in...

Provided the weather cooperates we will be framing out and installing new windows this weekend. I promise there will be a post and lots of pictures from that!
