So I did as Laura said: Fourth folder fourth picture! It is of a 1932 Ford Roadster. Chelsey's dream car. We downloaded different pictures so she could decide exactly what she wanted. This is not exactly what she wants. haha...

Just news

(greg): There's not much going on in our home right now... the kitchen is on hold 'till the counter top arrives. there are a few things that can be done but the majority of it is waiting on that. I'm still working days for now, there's a lot of talk going on at work about layoff's and hour/staffing cuts but the engineering support team (what I'm doing) is still pushing forward and is planning on 40 hr. weeks till the end of April. we are one of the more fortunate plants at pella, as we are building new machines for new products and corporate pella could pull the plug on development anytime. chels is taking tomorrow off to go to des moines with a good friend of hers which is getting a 3D ultrasound done. (she is really excited since she has been friends with this girl since they were in preschool). (chelsey) : I also am going to indian hills on sunday to get my continueing education to renew my licence (hair) with mom and a couple of her friends! It is from 8-5 so from what I hear it is going to be really boring lots of notes will be passed and lots of hang man! haha.... I also plan on doing my nails :) We went to the hospital to see my cousin and his wife and their new baby saturday! He is really cute (hayden marshal goodman) Other than that we have nothing new going on here! Hope everyone is well.

kitchen progress

so we've not done much since last login, i've managed to throw together some base cabinets(trying to match the others), we're adding a garbage disposal and building in the dishwasher, so the fridge is getting moved and that will free up some space for some more, much needed, countertop(which we ordered saturday). donations welcome!

Same ol' stuff

We do not have a whole lot of new stuff going on. We are slowly making progress on the kitchen. All the drywall mud is up it's just waiting to be sanded! Greg is going to try a new technique using a wet sponge. I've decided that it is really inconvenient to have everything that was in the kitchen in the rest of the house. It's a little annoying. We have started walking at the mall to get some exercise although Greg thinks that it sucks and complains the whole time. We usually get about 2 miles in each time. Other than that not we don't have anything exciting! Hope everyone is well and enjoying the weather!

Just another day

As most of you read in our last post Greg was in the process of finding out if he had good news! He does....he is going to be working day temporarly (until April 1) in the tool room. Which means that he is basically training so he has a better chance of getting a job up there when things pick back up! I think it is going to take a little getting used to since we will both be at home together now!I mananged to change my hours around a little so that I only work till 8 one night a week so that we can be here together more! Also we started remodeling our kitchen! We are getting ready to start putting it back together on Friday I think! We are getting pretty excited about it since we have lots of things we are changing! Other than that not a whole lot new is going on in this household.We noticed yesterday that Pretzel's leg is swollen a little bit and called the vet but they can't get her in until Friday so lucky Greg has the day off so he is going to be taking her! We are sure its nothing but figured it should be checked out! Hope everyone is well!

JANUARY

Wow! I can't believe that it is january! We haven't really been up to anything lately....We are finally done with Christmas we got tons of awesome gifts for everyone! We went to Iowa City to bring in the new year! We stayed with Trenton Place and his gf Stephaine! Also Ben and Amanda went we had alot of fun and saw alot of weird and crazy people, not to mention freezing to death since Amanda and I didn't wear coats! We went to Ottumwa today and did a little shopping but mainly went to menards because we are going to start remodeling our kitchen! We have alot of work ahead of us!

Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I can't believe that it is christmas! Today we went to my parents in the am to do the chrismas thing! It was fun we had breakfast and then opened gifts. Then at noon we went to my grandparents and had lunch and did the whole christmas thing again! After we were done there we came home and Greg went to blade the driveway(play with the tractor) and I layed in bed and watched tv and crochet ( I'm trying to make a blanket)Then we gave the pugs their presents (akc dog toys they look like the real animals)they have been playing with them ever since, we're half scared to touch them since they are slobbery. haha.. Since there is nothing open other than caseys my parents came over and we had caseys pizza and now we are just watching tv and hanging out, getting ready to head to ames for christmas tomorrow! We hope that everyone else is haveing a good christmas and getting everything they want and more!
