Team Mueller: February 2010

Girl’s getaways in the Golden State are SO fun! Why? B/c….

v You just can’t beat a southern California morning walk with mom… (Winter here = sunny and 70°) add Matt’s chocolate chip/strawberry, multi-grain pancakes to the AM mix and…. J (GIANT HAPPY FACE)

v South Coast…’nough said!

v It necessitates a stop @ the local N in Out…

v Let’s face it; girls are much more FUN to shop with!

v Matt always looks SO sexy @ the grill (thanks babe, it was delicious)!

v SUNDAY’S TOGETHER! (under great teaching from God’s Word)

v CPK… we recommend ALL their specialty teas & the ever delicious “White Pizza”

v FREE $ (yea buddy!)

v More shopping (Apparently, pink babydoll dresses are RARE….)

v “Let’s just stop in Ross real quick…” (“fatsuit” victory…j/k)

v Best way to end a 2^nd full day of shopping = pedicures with coffee in hand!

v 1 cereal, 2 cereal, 3 cereal… COUCH!

v Movie nights comprised of Chick flicks, where NOTHING gets blown up…

v It’s cheaper than therapy…

What an incredible blessing it is to be with mom & sis! I am SO thankful to the Author of all blessings I enjoy!

Last February (@ 10pm on a Wednesday night) we randomly (i.e. impulsively and without a plan) decided to rip out the (unused, year old) carpet in our guest rooms. Our (ok my) impromptu` decision resulted in a years worth of projects… but now (I think…maybe….?) we are FINALLY DONE (flooring at least)! (Matt thinks 2010 should bring more couch units, while I’m already dreaming of redoing the front porch…)

MANY MANY MANY thanks to Jason, Tamera, Rick, Dane, Chris, Jean and Dan--who rescued us from killing each other as they helped to lay the last five thousand eight hundred tiles!!!

Our celebration = purchasing a ginormous, comfy (sink into and never get up) couch. (It’s been priority #1 on Matt’s wish-list for the last 4½ years…)

Now that it’s OVER it makes me smile to think about:

Our two month slumber party in the living room (whereby we literally relocated the master suite to center stage of the living-room)
The vehemence with which Matt kicked the trowel into the street…
Our excessive Panda Express bill while in project mode…
The way you look (like say… a person who’s attempted to pull all their hair out) when making those last minute runs to the store (and the looks you get from other people while there).
All those late nights; the hilarious moments and countless memories…
The finished product! J

Our couch was delivered a few days ago… the movers put a giant hole in the drywall….

Matt just got his next project….
