Now THAT'S Snow!

Just in case anyone is reading my little sisters blog and she mentions the snowfall and all just wanted clarify that THIS is snow...does anyone see the road I am supposedly driving on???


Here is what it looked like the next day. A little easier to drive through as we can see, generally, where we are supposed to drive.

Though this is what it looked like later when we turned...

Me & Brad & David


Work continues here on the range. We are so close to finished yet not quite there. So to push things along The Husband decided I should work the Brad nailer. Now this is not exactly a power-tool so don't get all excited thinking "Holy Cow who would give that girl a powertool". No this is an AIR TOOL. Which, I proved, when put into the wrong hands is equally dangerous.

Now it isn't entirely my fault. I did notice that the side of the nailer says to wear protective eyewear and to read the owners manual. So I did get my really great J-Lo shades which took awhile b/c they are a little passe and so not in the forefront of the pile. And in all the time it took me to find them I ran out of time to read the manual and got the David instructions which amounted to "put this here like that and then pull this trigger, go ahead and start I'm going to cut boards". Anywho, when he told me to "GENTLY and CAREFULLY" put the gun on the door frame he was trying to create and "ACCURATELY" pull the trigger I should have KNOWN something was dangerous. But how could I, did I read the instructions??? NO! So I tried, really I did but when I pulled the trigger and heard "OUCH" I knew something had gone wrong.

Yep, shot him in the finger. We spent the next few minutes trying to figure out if it was stuck IN his hands (b/c a family friend proved you could get those nails into you and not realize it right away). We even tried to use a magnet to do so. Finally I found the nail 20 feet away. So it didn't stick anyway. But the end result was that Brad & I shot David.

& The 2 shall become 1


Well we have officially knocked down the divider between old and new house. We now live in ONE house--with the LONGEST hallway you ever did see!!!! I can't believe how silly-long it looks! I am gonna LOVE it when we are settled and in! We are now on the final stages and I see the light at the end of the hallway!

AND we will have more than enough room to house whatever company wants to come and stay (Wade/Jo/Sophia, that would be you in August).
