Quilting progress
Originally uploaded by nclangs99

I have brought my sewing machine with me to the apartment and have been working on my next quilt top. I am still going to use the star quilt along patterns from crazymomquilts. I had started in NC and have gotten a few more blocks down here in SC. I spent some time today cutting out some of the blocks. I think I got 3 cut out. 2 more left to cut out, then I have to work on the setting blocks and putting it all together. I have competed more blocks, but just haven't taken a picture of them. Will have to do that soon. Maybe the next pic will have all the star blocks done. One can hope can't she!! :)

We have a date.....

We have a closing date!!! It is February 20th. Our Anniversary!! Derek is just adding up all of his brownie points with me. Signed to build the house on my birthday, actually buy the house on my birthday. WOW!! Now comes the frantic scheudling of getting the furniture out of the house in NC, doing all the inspections of the new house, walk throughs of new house and finally signing and getting our furniture to the new house!!! Looks like the month of Feb is going to be a busy one for us around here!!

They still have a lot to do at the house though. There is no stones on the exterior of the house. The flooring still has to be done along with the exterior grading and putting in the sidewalk and driveway. Looking forward to seeing all this happen in the next few weeks!!

Well, to ease my troubles a little bit around here is that I got Aric into a preschool!! He will be going 3 days a week from 9-12:15. He starts on Monday! I hope that he likes it!

We're here.....

Well, we're in the apartment, in case you couldn't guess. We left on the Monday after Christmas. Got here to Lake Wylie about 9 pm. Wow, 3 flights of stairs. Thank goodness one of the guys from Derek's work came and helped us out. I think that there still would have been stuff to unload 2 days later if it wasn't for him.

The house is coming along very nicely. Have the drywall up, installed cabinets, siding and shake are on the house, and they painted today, too. They are telling us that we will be closing the last week in February.


The girls are doing well in school. Got a compliment from the middle school principal last week too. He said that the girls were doing such a great job of melding right into the new school. We were happy to hear that. They seem to be happy, but you never know what goes on inside those walls when we aren't around. They have made new friends and have gotten used to the teachers. Looking forward to having a great rest of the school year.

Aric is doing well hanging out with me. He is starting to ask when he is going to school. So, I have started to look around for Preschool for him. Hopefully I will be able to find a spot for him in one for the fall, if not sooner.

Derek is liking work a whole lot more. He is coming home less stressed and in a much better mood.

I miss all of my friends from NC, but look forward to meeting some new people here soon. Aric and I have been going to storytime a the local library on Wednesdays. We also met some of the people who live in our neighborhood today while we were at the house. They were really nice.
