out with the old....

Normally when people ask me what's going on in my world, I can honestly say, "Nothing new, same old same old..." And I'm ok with that. I like routine and a lack of change for the most part.

But these last few weeks (especially this past weekend) has been different. There are several things going on in my world that I feel are noteworthy "non-same olds." :)

Out with the old...

In with the new...
(Oh, the irony... to have to use the old to document the new....)

For Christmas (and anniversary and my next birthday and my next Mother's Day) Jason got me a new camera. One that will be so fun to learn how to use! My honey is just the best. :)

In with the new...

We got this set when we were married from my sister Ronda. They've served us well for the past 7 years and we have been so grateful to have a washer and dryer (we've just overlooked the no-hot water option and 1 1/2 drying cycles to get our clothes clean.) But I'll admit, I've been looking forward to new ones for a few years now...

If you think about the decade they stopped making gold dryers.... you can about guess how old those babies are! They just don't make things now like they used to! And Goldie will live on... a lady in our ward is in need of a dryer, so the legacy of that tank will continue!

Last Friday we were coming home from Provo and as we passed RCWilley Outlet I asked Jason to stop so we could go in and look around at the washers and dryers. About an hour later we were the proud owners of a new set! Oh, and a loveseat too. Hence....

Out with the old...

In with the new....
Yet another newly wed freebie. Jason's brother Travis gave us this couch shortly after we got married and it too has served us well... but here again.... I've been looking for a good deal on a loveseat for a while....

Unfortunately not all of our changes have been good...

Out with the old...

And due to the holiday weekend, "in with the new" hasn't happened yet....

Last Saturday we had a little mishap in the garage. A wheelbarrow fell on the back window in our Pilot. But fortunately, it missed Jason by a couple of inches, so even though we have to replace the window, we are blessed that no one was hurt and it was only one window. (The body of the car is fine and Jason's car escaped unscathed due to the stroller placed in between the vehicles since we didn't have time to put it away the day before when we pulled it out of the car.)

So with all the craziness of December 2011 over... Out with the old... And in with the new... year! Happy 2012!!
