Our future solar powered home!

We are in the process of installing solar in our home. The pictures above are drawings that Nick put together for our contractor. Isn't that neat! Nick used his solar class knowledge to engineer our entire system. :D We are very excited to be moving forward in this project, as it will allow us to no longer have an electricity bill and will help keep us comfortable during power outages/hurricanes.

Patience at it's best!

We are slowly updating our kitchen with more energy efficient appliances and we had our eye on this fridge for over 2 years. Patiently we waited for it to go under $1000 and our patience has paid off! Not only did we get the fridge at price we wanted, but it is much more spacious, and it matches our dishwasher. :)

Our first weekend get-away!

We got the chance to take our first get away in 3 years. We drove to Pompano Beach FL (2 hours south of us) and got to enjoy a very interestingly fun weekend. Unfortunatly I got a severe migraine on the trip down. We had intentions of attending our friends wedding but had to make an emergency stop at Solantic. We were able to make it to the reception and salvaged the evening with a great ocean side dinner at Spazio. The rest of the weekend was spent enjoying the ocean and hotel pool and walking the streets of Fort Lauderdale which had it's centennial anniversary this year! Even though we had a rough start to the weekend, we look forward to more weekend getaways in the future.

Two are better than One

Nick and I got the privilege of joining the tech team at our church. We were "in training" this Sunday and enjoyed being able to help out with some of the "tech" responsibilities. Nick helped out with the sound board and I got to help run the camera and lights. We look forward in to serving together on a regular basis. :)
