New Apartment Pics (Part 1)

My apartment, I have cleaned the "front" of my apartment, kitchen and living room, top to bottom, so I can show off.

In theory, by next weekend,I will have pics of my bathroom and bedroom ready to post.

Hallway from door to kitchen/living room:

My laundry closet, with my HE washer and dryer.... didn't need the HE but loved that it has extra large capacity for washing my comforter.

Perspective

I am realizing something, & I thought I would share.

I love my new job!!! But it is not just the fact that this is the first job I have that I NEEDED my Bachelor's Degree, (an education I was beginning to think was a waste of my student loans and my Dad's money), and not just because it is the highest paying job I have ever had, EVER.


I love it because I am respected here, my opinion matters here, my ideas are listened to here, I am smart here, but I hadn't felt that way in my marriage. Please understand Dave never called me stupid, but he let me know that he was smarter than me, he had more education than me, he made more money than I did.


He was better than me & I believed it.

The rumors are true...

1 of these women is having an affair with my husband, and
1 of these women is giving me the courage to fight for what I deserve, and

1 of these women is scared about the next chapter in her life.

Dave's answer to the gas prices

As gas prices rise and they are predicted to reach over $4 a gallon Dave has decided a motorcycle will save us money, is it just a coincidence that he has ALWAYS wanted one ?!?!?!
Just after our first ride TOGETHER!

He says I still meed more practice...

Our good friends Dave and Kenna helped me on my virgin ride, I was TERRIFIED!

But don't we look super cute ?!?!?!

A.D.D. Christmas

The Guest list for the A.D.D. Christmas:

Joe and Jessica Antonucci Karen Delehanty
us (the Deurloo's)


& the dogs!

After dinner we played the Wii, Joe and I played WIPEOUT, and Dave discovered my horrible playing the game ran in the family.

We switched to bowling and we all did better!!!

I thought this shot was HI-larious, since everyone was on there iPhones, Joe literally didn't put his down.

We all had a GREAT TIME!!!!!!!

Cotton!

The first time Dave took me on a busyness trip to Jackson, TN (in September) was the first time I had EVER seen cotton being grown.... I was so excited on the 2nd trip, Dave got some cotton fresh from the gin, just for me. Here it is: Although Dave was their on business he took some pics of the cotton warehouses cause he thought I would get a kick out of them...... I did!

Anyone who knows how big Dave's Truck is can imagine how much cotton was in the warehouse.

frustrated

so i have been trying for TWO weeks to upload a stupid video Dave shot of me and some friends dancing to the Wii..... and it won't upload and I am so frustrated, just cause anything Dave wants to contribute to this blog I wanna do..... but i think the file is to big and I have been stalling adding new posts cause I REALLY want it posted.... for Dave's sake, he thinks it's funny

Cookies!

David's Grandma used to invite all the grand kids over to her house to decorate Christmas Cookies. Then Dave's older sister continued the Christmas Cookie decorating tradition with the cousins and cousins kids. Dave and I loved going to decorate cookies so we started inviting friends and their kids to our place and we have begun to get quite a turn out!

My good friend Amy, and fellow blogger, came for the first time this year with her beautiful daughter, Lorelai.

Rolling out the dough

Lorelai helped with rolling the dough and ate some, too.

and many of the kids ate the decorated cookies once they were done.

Our good friends the Leatherwoods came over and enjoyed the movie The Polar Express, that played on a constant loop that drove Dave CRAZY!
