Blog Withdrawls

My computer has been gone for 4 days and I'm already having withdrawls from blogging. Rick had to take my desktop computer to his new office while he waits for new computers to get here...so that means I have no way to download my pictures.

Here's what we've been up to the last couple of days...

* As of today Rick's new office is FINALLY open! As many of you know this past 2 weeks has been VERY stressful getting everything finalized and dealing with unreliable people. However, we're happy to report he saw 5 patients this afternoon at the new location, in addition to the patients he saw at the old office in the morning. Even better - Thursday, Friday and Monday are completely booked already in the new location! Maybe Blackshear, Georgia isn't so bad after all. I'd love to share pictures, but I have yet to see it all set up (even though I was out there yesterday) since they were down to the wire to finish things.

*Yesterday the UPS guy brought the previously mentioned contest winnings to our doorstep...yep, my mixer is sitting on my kitchen counter! When I asked Rick what he had to say for himself for doubting the legitimacy of the contest and bursting my bubble when I won - his reply, "Great...now what are you gonna make me?"

*We are FREEZING our fannies off here in southern Georgia! If you haven't seen the news, we've been experiencing the coldest weather we've had in over 100 years here. I can't remember the last time I wore my flip flops, let alone shorts. We even broke down and bought the kids winter coats this week. After 6 different stores we finally found 1 in Blake's size and 2 different ones for Ashlyn to choose from. The best part was they were all on clearance. Both coats, including the taxes - I spent a total of $35 at the Mall.

* I surprised myself with my craftiness...I attempted to reupholster chairs. Again, no picture to show you yet, but they look great in Rick's office if I do say so myself. I'm not sure why people find this activity a hobby, because after doing 13 of them the fun has definitely worn off. I'm glad to be done with them.

You have been super busy! It would probably be more fun to reupholster if they were all unique to each other and done at separate times! We can't wait to see the pictures. Congrats on opening with such a full schedule! Now that you have coats, you might as well come up here and enjoy the snow with us!!!

Way to be crafty. What made you decide to do that??

Because the chairs came with the equipment that he bought and they were UGLY! I figured it couldn't be too hard.
