The painting project from HELL

Okay so we are still painting Krista's room!!! We are on coat number 3, we told Krista NEVER AGAIN will we paint a room red lol it has been a total pain the in BUTT!! It is like a child's fire truck red at this point and is very bright, she loves it and can't wait to be able to move back into it to night. David said it needs one more coat as there are some spots that are darker than others, Krista and I vote we just leave it alone as her bed and posters will cover most of the walls, we will see if we can convince him lol. Because of this David and I decided we can live with the one red wall we have in our room with the rest of the walls and bathroom a baby poop green, the thought of having to try and cover the red and that green makes us want to cry lol. We should've just had it painted before we moved in, OH WELL live and learn!!

I have been having soooooo much fun, NOT! my work computer got a virus so I have had to work off of a loaner laptop from work and it doesn't have all the software I needed so trying to limp along has been an adventure. I finally got my laptop back and guess what, it still had the virus!!!! I was on the phone with INDIA trying to get the issue resolved for 4 hours!! I finally just said forget it and fixed it my self!!! Hopefully it worked but I will know after a bit. If it didn't then I have to back everything up the the $100 external hard drive I had to go buy and ship my PC back into the Seattle office, so they can give me a new PC and I can start all over again, ah the joys of working with computers!!

David is having fun with the UMPA mobile (the cavalier) there is a short in the ground and the headlights dim on him while he is driving, not fun!! So when he gets his next day off (Sunday) he has to go through all the electrical in the car and try and find the short. Needless to say he is not very happy, but other than that it is a great little car. I jokingly told him hey why fix it, if you just wait in another 2 months we should have about 16 hours of day light then you won't need the lights lol, he did NOT think that was funny, don't know why ha ha!!

Ashley is starting to worry me, I am beginning to think we should've bought her a tank instead of a Jetta. I can see the driveway and the street from my office and I watched her back out of the driveway yesterday and barely get the car stopped before the bus went flying by her rear bumper, then she proceeded to back out and nailed the trash can on the side of the driveway and almost knock it over!! Hmmm I think she might've inherited Kelli's driving skills!!! I am waiting for the day she puts it in drive instead of reverse and pulls through the garage!!! Lord help her on that day as I think it will send David over the edge and he might actually kill her lol. We harp on her driving all the time and tease about buying Krista a crash suit just to ride to school with her, of course Ashley doesn't think that is very funny.

We are beginning to think that winter will never end here. We keep getting more and more snow. It has snowed almost everyday since we have been here!! I guess that is why they call Alaska the land of snow and ice, I can't wait for spring!! I would like sunshine and warm (temps above 40) weather. I have a ton of flower gardens and am really looking forward to seeing what flowers are already there and what I can plant. David of course is like "have fun, I'm going four wheeling" so that is fine with me. I have dreams of just me, the radio, the SUN and flowers to be planted, no Hey MOM!!! or Jen where did you put my...... it is a nice fantasy one I don't think I will see LOL.

Well got to run!!! We miss you guys!!!
