Guess what came today?!

Yep! My New Camera! I'm so excited to use it and to use what I have been learning in my photography class. My hubby is so sweet! He bought it for me for my upcoming birthday. Thanks Babe!

Painting and other news

This past weekend some friends of ours came over and helped us paint some of our condo. We painted the spare room a tan color and the hallway and bathroom a cream color. The bathroom was an ugly gray color and so dark, and the spare room had a super ugly border that was a pain in the butt to remove. We are going to put up a chair rail or something in the spare room too. Here are some pics. The other news I have isn't so great. I went to the doctor a few weeks ago and had my blood drawn. I went because Nick and I have been trying to have a baby for almost a year now and haven't been able to. There are a lot of problems that run in my family that make it hard to get pregnant. I got my test results back last week and it turns out that I have polycystic (sp) ovary disease and that I am basically type 2 diabetic. Fun, huh? I am on this awful medicine for 6 months that makes me really sick. I am also on this no sugar and no carb diet. So sad! I love carbs! I don't know if I can live without mashed potatoes and french bread!

Poor Nicky!

My poor husband had his first root canal yesterday. It was so sad(and maybe a little funny) to watch. Here are a few pics from the dentist. Nick is a little nervous but trying not to show it. Nick is trying to distract himself with my Ipod. Now he's trying a little harder. I think he knows this song. After the pain killer and numbing stuff. Can you tell? Nick has no idea what's coming.
Overall, it wasn't that bad for him. He did a great job and it hardly hurts today!

A Mouse!!

Yesterday Nick got up to watch conference and was sitting on the couch and saw something run by the doorway in the spare bedroom. We've had a few spiders in our apartment since we got back, some of them pretty big, so he thought it must have just been a spider and went to check it out. It was gone.

So last night we had a few friends come over for lunch and the afternoon session of conference. They were here until around ten and were just about to leave when we saw the mouse run by the door again. This time we both saw it and knew it was a mouse. I freaked out a little and Nick stayed sitting on the couch and shut down. He can't do mice. When he was little he was bitten by a mouse and has had a phobia since. So we let James and Clint go look for it. It was gone again, but they found a hole in the corner by the heater, so we knew where it went.

Nick DOES NOT go to the store on Sunday, but he was getting his shoes on getting ready to go buy some traps last night. He hates mice.

We settled down again and a few minutes later saw it by the doorway, so we tried to smack it with a broom. It got away from that and ran into the livingroom where I was holding the dog. I started freaking out and jumping around trying not to step on it, while the dog tried to jump out of my arms to investigate the new addition to our house. Clint and James were laughing at me so much! Nick was still frozen on the couch.

Clint and James caught it and we threw it in the dumpster. We slept much better last night knowing it was not in our house.

Yuck. We hate mice.

Foto Friday

Another Foto Friday and Carly hasn't posted anything recently. So here's another piece of artwork to entertain you until Carly posts something.

Long time, no blog

Carly hasn't posted anything new for quite a while, so I thought I would. This last week I took pictures of all of my best drawings, one of which being my self portrait. My mom doesn't think it looks anything like me. I think it does...when I'm 30. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

FOTO Fridays!

Nick did this while we were playing at a park on the 4th of july a couple of years ago. I went to visit Nick while he was working in Minneapolis, MN. This was the summer that we were enagaged (the longest summer of my life). Isn't he cute?
