Painting

So Tim and I have lived in our house for about a year and a half now, and I have had a desire to do something to make my mark on the house for a while. The problem, however, is that when we moved into the house it had new carpet, new tile, new appliances, and new paint. Now some might say this is a great thing, and I thought so too until I wanted to change the paint color in our nursery (the name of our spare bedroom, I named it when we moved in, and it doesn't mean I have an announcement), but Tim didn't want to because it didn't need to be painted. So after a little wait I decided that it was time to paint it yellow. So I went to Lowe's picked a paint chip with three shades of yellow and taped it to the wall to pick out the right shade. After several opinions and indecision, I chose Creamy Oat, a pretty pale yellow. I painted one wall on Friday night, and I love it. I can't wait to finish the other walls to see my sunny yellow room. I'll post it  what the whole room looks like when it's done. What you think of it so far?

New Year

Happy Belated New Year to everyone!

I realize that I haven't blogged recently, okay a few months, but I'll try to do better in the new year. As I know many people do, I reflected on the past year and made some new year resolutions.

First the reflections.

In December I decided it was time for change. I was done with spending what seemed to me as too much time on my hair. So I cut it all off. I really really like my short new hair. I haven't had my hair this short since I was four and I gave myself my very own haircut, and so had some reservations about it. Didn't my sister do a good job? Below is the before and after pictures.

After

On another note, Tim graduated college on December 4. It was an exciting moment. Now he is looking for a job (but so are a lot of people).

Now the resolutions.

I decided that it was time to get help with losing some weight. I had been unhappy with the way I looked, and nothing I seemed to do worked. So I joined Jenny Craig. I just finished up my first week and I have already lost four pounds. I'm excited. I hope to loose more, but I figure that this a good start.

I also resolve to keep up with my family and friend better as well as update this blog a little more often.
So that's it. I hope everyone has a good 2011.

New Car

So it became apparent to us yesterday that Tim needed a new car. So we went down to Acura of Reno to take a look at a 2004 Honda Civic. We had looked at the car online a while back, and so we decided to go test drive it. Guess what? We bought it! I was suprised that we looked at a car and decided to buy it all in one night, but we really like it.

On another note, here is a picture of our dog, Sunny. He is just so cute that I couldn't resist adding a picture of him.

Pears

Tim and I recently bought a box of pears,a big box. I don't know what we were thinking when we bought it. So now Tim is in the process of peeling and slicing pears to dry. Also I plan on making a few pear pies. I never made a pear pie or tasted a pear pie, but I do know that we need to use these pears up. I hope that we can use of this big box of pears before it goes bad.

Blog

So I've started a blog. In this blog I will attempt to update everyone on what Tim, Risha, and Sunny are up to. Hence the Simpson Three. If you don't already know, Sunny is our 7 year old Cockapoo (at least we think, we got him at the Humane Society). I hope you enjoy reading my blog. Bye for now.
