TV! & New Years

We got some money for Christmas, so we decided to splurge a little and buy ourselves a new TV. So the day after Christmas, after many trips back and forth, we bought a 37" Vizio LCD HDTV from Walmart. We also bought a new entertainment center to go with it. The quality is amazing! And we actually have HD channels because on Thursday we got our new Ntelos fiber optic cable. So not only is the TV amazing, but the new cable is amazing too! We have way more channels than with Comcast plus so many cool features, like the channel guide, music stations, a search feature, just to name some. I am SO glad we switched to Ntelos. And it is actually going to be cheaper than it was with Comcast! So if you are in the area I highly recommend looking into the Ntelos video (as they call it). They don't have it everywhere yet, but are working on it. We have been using our new TV to catch up on the show Lost. I have watched it from the beginning pretty much but Anthony hadn't. So we borrowed seasons 1 and 2 from Ashley (we'll have to rent season 3) and have been watching them like crazy to try to get caught up by the end of January so we can jump in on season 4. Speaking of which, I will end on that note so I can go watch some more Lost! Yes, we are home watching Lost on New Year's Eve, but honestly, there's no place I'd rather be than home spending time with my husband. Happy 2008 everyone!!!

Christmas

We had a very nice Christmas. We opened presents at our house first and then we went to Mom's and opened presents with them. We stayed over there all day and ate, played, and ate some more. Zoe got this Sing and Dance Pinkie Pie "My Little Pony". It was very annoying and actually a little creepy, but she loved it! It was the only thing she asked Santa Claus for. Ashley made her wait to open it till the last present and she was just dying to open it by that time! Anthony got an Air Hogs Havoc Heli and has been flying it constantly. Although his dumb wife sat something on top of it and broke it a little bit (I don't take total blame for it though, since he put it on the kitchen counter where there was tons of stuff piled!) it is still working.

I think I decided I'm going to get a Hallmark ornament for us every year. You can see the first 2... hopefully many more to come!!! :) We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Ice

Okay... I'm finally updating... I am doing it one at a time to simplify my picture uploading. These are just some cool pictures from when we had ice a couple of weeks ago...

Coming Soon....

So I know I stink at updating... really. Just wanted to say that I am going to give a good update soon with pictures and the excitingness that the past few weeks have held. Hopefully tomorrow! :)

Elves

Everybody else has done it so I might as well......

New Washer & Dryer!

So we are proud new parents of a brand new washer and dryer! Haha! Our old ones haven't bit the dust yet but are not far from it... the washer sometimes leaves clothes soaking wet and sometimes "walks" itself enough to even open up our bifold doors! So we bit the bullet and bought new ones. We got Whirlpool Estate which is what my Aunt Becky, who owns an appliance store, suggested we get. The man at the store told me that Whirlpool doesn't advertise this type to keep their cost down. So they weren't too expensive but should be good for us. Nothing fancy, but I'm so excited to have a washer that doesn't shake my whole house!! :)

We also have decided to switch to Ntelos fiber optic cable and also go ahead and get our internet through them. We will end up saving $28 a month by this switch and it's really very new technology, top of the line stuff. They don't even offer this all over the area yet. Luckily we live in a neighborhood where they do offer it! So by the end of the month we should be switching to that. Here's a link about it if you are interested in checking it out...

I am already done with all my cleaning for the weekend so I'm not sure what to do with myself! I guess I'll just be forced to veg in front of the TV!!!

Lily & Weekend

Last Saturday I finally got to go see Lily! She is just absolutely precious! I walked in their apartment and held her first thing of course. At first I was just cradling her sideways in the typical "baby hold" and then I laid her out on my lap and was just looking at her in wonder and love and I started crying! Matt said "oh no, we've gotta tell Anthony about this". Haha. When Vicky came in and seen I had been crying she said she must be a bad friend since she didn't cry! Haha. Nah, she's just the least emotional of the three of us. Here are a couple of pictures. She is really much smaller than she looks in the pictures. It still feels strange when I see the last one... like a disconnect or something.... that's my best friend, and she's holding a baby, her baby... my best friend has a daughter?? Crazy!!! Haha.


















So I'm sitting here listening to Christmas music, yay for that! I've gotten some cleaning done tongiht and a start on the laundry. So hopefully I can relax some tomorrow. We have to go look for a new washer and dryer tomorrow.... ick to spending money. We'll also do our regular Walmart trip. Hopefully Anthony will get some good work done on the shed. I'm so ready for it to be done so we can use it finally. Well time to relax and we are going to watch "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry". Oh, I almost forgot.... I found out my friend Eric from Shelburne is going to be a daddy! His wife Jaimee is pregnant and due in May. It's a boy and his name is................. Anthony James! Just like my Anthony! :) Isn't that funny??
