Nemo...Go Away!

 

Well....the storm found us!!  And it brought us a TON of snow!  And with it came a lot of wind.  It's actually still snowing here still.  I was really raelly happy that we never lost power.  This morning I quickly got the laundry I needed done and cooked my dinner to bring to work incase we did lose the power.  But thankfully we never did =)   We were super lazy today.  Emma stayed in her pajamas until about 3:00 today.  When Brian and I went out to do some shoveling, I asked her if she wanted to go out with us and play a little in the snow.  She said no.  And I really can't say I blame her, it was way windy.  Here some pictures of our "Nemo" storm! HA!

 

 

Our dog was NOT impressed at all with the amount of snow we got.  At one point I let him out and he just stood at the door staring at me.  He looked so pathetic. Haha

Emma and I watched Alice in Wonderland this morning.  She had never seen it and it had been years since I have seen it.  She liked it a lot!  And then she read me a couple of books.  She is doing soooo good with her reading and she just loves to read!  One of her favorite books right now is the Block Mess Monster.  She got it for Christmas a couple of years ago.  I have to say it's not exactly my favorite book!  But she will read it over and over again. 

And since it was so yucky and cold out, I decided to take advantage of the Gap sale going on right now.  30% off, plus I had a $10 coupon to use!  And I have been eyeing this outfit for a while now for Emma.

Nemo!

No, i'm not talking about the movie Finding Nemo, i'm talking about the Snowmagedon that they've named Nemo.  I'm not sure when we started naming snow storms.  Yeah I get the naming of hurricanes, but snow storms?  I saw this picture on facebook this morning and I have to say it definately made me laugh!

 

 

I'll be anxious to see just exactly how much snow we get.  The news says we could get anywhere from 12-24 inches of snow.  Ugghhh.  I'm more than ready for spring!!! haha

 

 

Anyway...i'm behind on the blog.  I'm going to try and blog more, but lately we've just been super busy.  Last Sunday when we headed to Southwest Harbor to check out the time share stuff, we stopped so I could take a couple of pictures at one of my favorite places here in Maine. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This place is so pretty during every single season!  Love it!!

 

 

 

Emma coloring in the car on our way there =)

 

 

Today we really didn't do a whole lot.  I picked Emma up from school, we watched some Disney and made hot chocolate =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had gymnastics tonight.  I thought for sure they would cancel it because of the snow, but they didn't!  And there were hardly any kids there tonight.  Which was kind of nice, more one on one time for the kids =)

I didn't bring my camera with me tonight.  Fridays are usually really busy there, and I kinda feel like carrying around my gigantic camera!  So these pictures are from the other day when I brought my camera for her private lesson.

 

 

 

 

 

 

She is still doing really well!  Next week is her last week for this session.  We'll find out if she stays in the class she is in, or if she moves on to the next level! =)

 

 

So i've been having a really really hard time finding a dress for Emma for the Father/Daughter Valentines dance.  I think i'm just being way too picky.  Brian and I went out yesterday to find one and had no luck with it.  We checked The Gap, Old Navy, The Childrens Place, Justice, JcPenney, Target & Kohls.  You would think after 7 stores I would have found something I like, but no.  So tonight I got online and found one on Ebay! I have ordered it and i'm *crossing* my fingers it will be here in time!  According to the shipping section it says it should be! 

 

Now that Emma is in bed sleeping, and Brian is working, it's time for me to get caught up on a weeks worth of tv shows that I have DVR'd!  Happy Friday!!

Sunday Funday!

We had a really great weekend here!  Yesterday consisted of Brian sleeping in until almost 3:00 since he worked a 16 hour shift the night before and that morning.  Crazy.  We then went and ran some errands and headed to my sister in laws for her Birthday.  We celebrated with pizza and cake!  Can't go wrong with that!! =) 

Today Brian and I were both up at 5:10 am.  Yeah.  Not sure why either.  But it was nice to sit and relax together in the morning before Emma was up.  She got up around 7ish, and we all showered and got ready to head to Southwest Harbor to meet with the Timeshare people!!  I have to say I was a little mad when we got there.  I had been emailing back and forth with a certain lady there who had been very helpful.  We made the appointment to meet today at 10.  We got there and guess who wasn't working?  Yeah...the lady that we made the appointment with.  I guess I just wish she would have called or emailed me to let me know.  But ohhh well.  We met with another lady who was very helpful.  I did bring my camera with me, but I felt super weird taking it out and taking pictures.  So in just used my cellphone, so the pictures aren't very good.  But here is the place we are going to be buying into! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not too bad huh?  There are some areas that need to be updated, but they are in the middle of doing some renovations.  We really don't see us staying here very often though.  We are basically buying into this particular timeshare to trade for other timeshares in other states.  Like Florida =)
Soooo...wanna know some details about this?  Well, Brians parents have been owners of this same timeshare for about 20 years.  They love it.  Back then they paid about $8,000 for it.  Now they are going for close to $20,000 in some places.  However....this place we are buying through has a few of these for sale that were foreclosures.  And the one we chose is costing us $510.  Yup you read it correctly =)  We also have to pay a deed fee and then a yearly maintenance fee.  But that is really nothing at all.  I'm beyond excited to be able to trade this and go to different places!! 

 

 

In other news...my mother in law is having a complete knee replacement tomorrow =(  I'm sure she is going to be super duper sore for the next few weeks.  They expect she is going to be in the hospital for a few days before she will be able to come home.  Thankfully my mom is coming down for a few days to stay with Emma on the days that Brian and I have to work. 

 

We had people over tonight to watch the Superbowl.  And Oh My Food!  We had so much food that it was crazy.  But bonus for leftovers!  =) 

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, and is enjoying the superbowl =)

A Pictureless Post.....Well maybe 1 picture!

I know, I know....most of you don't like posts without pictures.  But hey, I really have none for today.  Not even a single one of Emma.  I only saw her today from 2:15 until 3:00.  An entire 45 minutes.  That's what stinks about working nights.  I was really hoping to be working days this year, but it didn't work out.  Let's hope for next year!!

So today we had a HUGE windstorm.  It was crazy.  I woke up around 4:30 this morning and could hear the wind howling.  The weather here has been soooo cold.  I got up around 9:00 and there were tree limbs everywhere, and our trash can was blowing away.  When Brian came home he told me that the roof off one of our local stores had blown off.  When I got to work about 3:45 today everyone was ready to pull out their hair!  They said it had been super busy.  We dispatch for over 80 fire/ems departments where I work, plus dispatching for police departments.  So I can only imagine how busy they were!  I must say I was glad I came to work when I did....After the storm =) haha

Brian and I have an appointment on Sunday morning with the Timeshare people!  Eeekk!!  I'm really excited!  I will definitely bring my camera while we are there.  It's a really nice place and it's right on the ocean.  But we really don't have a lot of intentions of staying there much.  We plan to trade the timeshare to other places.  Like Disney =)  Once all the paperwork is completed and all that good stuff, then i'll post more about it =)  So here is a picture I found online of the place we are going =)

 

And It's Superbowl Sunday this weekend!  What is everyone's plans??  We are probably going to my inlaws to watch the game and have some yummy snacks!!
