First things first, our house is almost ready!!!!! We are expected to go to settlement on the 11th of January. We are SO excited. We got to go to our “pre dry wall” meeting a few weeks back and it seems like it’s progressing at lightning speed ever since. Below are a few pictures.
This is hubs in our "master bedroom" during the pre-drywall meeting.
This is me standing in our kitchen, where the sink will be. 
Since our house is SO close to my job, I like to "pop in" on my lunch breaks to see how it's coming along. I'm already so in love with our little nest. Last week when I drove by, all of the siding was on! I was also able to walk through to see the drywall in place. I took a few pictures on the blackberry.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving visiting with family and friends. I will do a separate post on that this weekend.
Yesterday was a great day. I had my year end performance review at work and it went very well. I really enjoy what I do and love the people I work with. It was very nice to hear that my bosses feel I am doing a great job and they love having me as a part of the team. I am excited to see what 2012 has in store for me career wise. Additionally, last night was my last graduate school class of the semester. It felt GREAT to turn in my final paper. It will be nice to have over a month to think about things other than school! Hubs has to study this weekend, he finishes up with finals next week. Since he has to study, I have an excuse to go shopping! (You know, to give him peace and quiet ;) )

J I love getting together with everyone.
