We have:
-attempted to change the light bulb in our ceiling fan. This unfortunately led to a trip to the ER (for our friend-not either of us. Still not sure if this is a good thing or not :) The glass cover shattered in his hands leading to 11 stitches. (Warning: do not look at pics if you get queasy over the sight of blood)
-ordered a new bookshelf because apparently I can't stop visiting amazon.com
-made backup cds of my itunes
-put our treadmill for sale on craigslist (ok, not yet, but it will be there in the next few days)
-fixed the brakes on our taurus...a/c still needs work
-cleaned our carpets and the kitchen tile
-cleaned out almost every cupboard/closet in the house.
This has resulted in us rediscovering some old treasures:
-an unopened 1999 phone bill
-Ry's Bulls jacket from 6th grade complete with Christmas caroling music on the inside pocket-
he was so nice to give it up since I wouldn't ever let him wear it in public anymore
he was so nice to give it up since I wouldn't ever let him wear it in public anymore-Some of you may remember these house rules that were posted at our first apartment
-and this personally designed invite to the best Halloween Party ever!
Thank goodness for our new vehicle that was stuffed to the max to help us bring stuff to the DI. (FYI- in the 2 weeks we have had it, our Expedition has successfully completed its first road trip, aided in 2 moves, and survived its first trip to Costco.) Also thanks to the kind servicemen who took away our huge stack of garbage bags full of stuff we used to think we couldn't live without.
I am very very proud of my husband who normally would have fought me tooth and nail on every decision. He was tossing things left and right! I, however, did shed a few tears over the college papers/notes I parted with.
The result of our labors? -a very happy organized wife and a babies' room almost all ready for the babies! Our next stop? Babies R Us!

Don't you love nesting!? It is so nice to have the desire to actually have a clean house!! I am excited to see the babies' room. That is my favorite part!!
I still have my Halloween party invite, too...just ran across it the other day, in fact.
Also, I LOVE throwing stuff away. It's so liberating! Enjoy this new-found freedom!
Hooray for you guys! And we loved the letter you found and e-mailed =)
I loved "nesting" Can't wait to see the bedroom.
yeah, yeah, yeah! We're so happy for you guys. When's the due date again. Be sure to let us know so we can bring you something, or help you out. ;)
Sounds like a good time cleaning house. I am excited about the car and the RV trip. I get more an more anxious (for an unknown time in the future) each and everyday.
It was great to see you guys at the wedding. We miss you too. Heather I think said today "I want to go visit the Fitz's" (I think she is sick of me already).
That's too bad about your friend and the stitches. He probably wasn't on the top 20 list anyway, so was expendable (not right context/word). Only kidding of course.
Anyway, glad everything is going great. Let me know more ways we can make the Christmas letter so we can maintain our top friends spot on it! :-)
p.s. Is last year's resolution complete?
That must be the best feeling of all... finally getting exercise with a tredmill... lifting it up to get it out of the house.
My goal for the next week or so is to get organized and throw out massive amounts of junk. I did it last night with the YW stuff--but that's a lot easier because I have no emotional attachment to it!
If someone gets hurt, the story is more valuable. If a hospital trip is involved, well, you're set!!
I loved the house rules. I was thinking about them as Royce and I were moving into our little apartment. So happy you got things cleaned and organized. That's probably one of my favorite things to do!
I have never had a cleaning venture lead to stitches before...glad you guys were able to make so much cleaning progress though!
Because I know I'll forget tomorrow... Happy Anniversary.
