Simpson's Journey

Out with the old and in with the new! We love our new Laminate Floors!

Many of you have heard that we were having our basement remodeled so that we could have a  guest room since we needed to move Cameron to the old guest room to have a nursery again.  So this is the Guest Room portion of the project. So this was one big unfinished room and  the part you can't see was more concrete flooring and walls.  Wanted to separate the laundry/furnace/water heater "room" and take the other half for the new guest room.  The new boards for walls.  Drywall is up and we did put in a small closet.  The completed new room with carpet, light, paint, doors and trim. Complete with the furniture that was in Cameron's now room. Joe and I loved the way it came out and we couldn't be more pleased with our new guest room!

Joe and I have a tradition to get our tree the weekend after Thanksgiving. With us actually having a house and a place to put the tree we were able to get a tree this year! We are excited about our tree and love the way the pine smell fills the downstairs. I have done some other small decorating around the house too. I hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday season!

Our first snow in our house! As of right now we have about 4 inches of it and it is still early. The forecasters are calling for a total of around 7 inches. I am so excited! As most of you know I really love the snow and anticipate this time of year! Living in Illinois for the past 3 and half years I have seen a lot more snow than I can remember seeing living in NC. Joe is so awesome, he went out to shovel our drive way and side walk. He also did a path for Flair off of our porch in the back because when Flair went out the snow was really close to his chest! Many thanks to my wonderful husband. Right now we have a nice fire going in the fire place and are getting ready to decorate our tree, which we bought on Friday. What a great way to spend a Sunday! A fire, some football, and hot chocolate! The 'snow season' is upon us in IL, Joe and I just hope that in January when it is time for Cameron to come that it won't be snowing so that we can make it ...
