Hump Day!

I thought since work was quiet today and I was not feeling too motivated to accomplish anything that I would update this blog. I really, really want to get better at it!

Things have been going really well in our little world! Our house is slowly but surely transforming into "our" home. We bought a new TV for the den - it is a 52" Samsung HD TV and it is insane. We love it. We probably are watching more TV than usual because it is that fantastic! I never thought I'd love a TV so much - but now I cannot wait for college football to start! We also are so lucky that we are getting my oldest brother Mark's and Kristina's dining room table! And to make the house even more special...we got grandma and grandpa Mehok's bedroom furniture to use in one of our extra bedrooms. It is awesome - I love having a piece of them in our home.

We are also trying to plan a house warming party, but that has been more challenging than one would think! Just trying to pick the perfect date and figure out exactly what to provide...er, figure what we can afford to provide. :) It will be soon though - I promise!

My family is doing really well too! Eric and Maria have recently put a offer on a new home - so keep your fingers crossed for them! Also, our wonderful friends Matt and Joanna are closing on a new house at the end of May - and they will be closer to us!! YAY! :) And even better - our friends Heather and Matt are pregnant with their first baby! Check out the link to their blog on my page! :) CONGRATS everyone!! We love you!

On a totally different note:
As most of you know, from this blog or from MySpace - a dear friend of mine is very, very sick with cancer. They do not think she has much longer on this beautiful earth of ours. Please help me keep her and her family in our prayers.
Things like this always seem to put life into perspective. My aches and pains seem so insignificant, fights and grudges seem so childish and holding onto my family and friends is priority. Life is too short and I don't want to waste another minute....

Love always,
Carrie
