Home Alone

John has gone backpacking with his brother and some friends this weekend, so it's just me and Caly!! Here are some things we've been up to lately:

Working out - John has been doing better at this front than me, he has been great about going to the gym about 3 or 4 times a week with his cousin. However, I have been working so much that I am either sleeping when he goes or too tired. I guess I just need some more motivation. 

Savannah - John and I went to Savannah, Ga at the beginning of the month for a long weekend. I have been wanting to post pictures but haven't figured that part of this blog thing out yet. As soon as I do, I'll post some pics. We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast called The Zeigler House. It was so nice to get away for a few days. Like I said, I'll post some pics as soon as I figure it out.

House - We have officially scraped all the popcorn off the ceilings in the upstairs of the house!! For those of you who don't know, popcorn is that bumpy stuff they used on the ceilings to save money about 20-30 years ago. To get it off, you have to get on a ladder and use a spray bottle and scrape it all off. It is incredibly messy and time consuming. All we have left in the upstairs is some paint on the two walls, just a little of ceiling left to paint, and about half of the trim upstairs. We are thinking if we can just get one or two good weekends of work in it will be done (the upstairs at least). We will post pictures of the finished upstairs when we are done. As for the downstairs, we haven't done much of anything. We are still in the planing faze. We have a lot of ideas and are hoping that once we get going, it won't take too long to get it done. Then, once the inside is taken care of, we will move outside. A lot of work, but it will be totally worth it in the long run.

Caly - Caly is still growing like a weed. We have started leaving her out in the house for short periods of time (like an hour or two) when we go out. She doesn't mess with anything, and so far she hasn't used the bathroom in the house. Also, I've been leaving her out while I sleep during the day (for work), I've been getting a lot more sleep and she has been much happier too I think. She loves to lay in the office in front of the window in the sun and look out the window. 

So, as soon as I figure out this whole picture thing, I will post tons of pics (Savannah, Caly, the House, etc.). If anyone has any ideas on the whole picture posting thing, just let me know!!
