Winter Happenings

Slow motion here at the Drwencke's. After the Holiday's things really slowed down and have become boring and gray. Just waiting out the rest of the winter and REALLY looking forward to Spring.

My Mom, Ashley, and I all took a day trip to IKEA in Canton. What a FUN store. SoOOOOoo much to look at. I'm not a huge fan of modern decor but I was quite surprised how much a liked everything.

 

Mom on the left- Ashley on the right- Browsing the fun that is IKEA. :)

 

My Few IKEA purchases of the day:

 

Picture frames

 

 More picture frames...

 

Faux plant...$3! Can't beat that!

 

And the whole reason I went----- DRAPES! Seriously, good quality-linen drapes or $24 bucks. Love a good deal!

 

Speaking of good deals- We recently purchased a new suit for Dan. He really needed one- He was measured at Men's Warehouse, we ordered online (came with coat and *2 pairs of pants), and had the suit coat tailored, all for less than $300! And it is a GOOD quality suit. Check out MRMAC.com.

 

 

 

Recently, I have become very aware that I may have started too many home projects. Which, in return has left our house very incomplete. What can I say...I get too excited but also get burnt out on every project which leads me to another before I finish. PRIME EXAMPLE: KITCHEN

 

I started painting our kitchen cabinets in September....it's almost the end of February people. So I have really cracked down and now have almost 75% of the kitchen done! YAHOO!

 

ALMOST DONE PAINTING!!

 

VALENTINES DAY...is for lovers.

 

I love holidays that celebrate love. What a wonderful day just to remind someone that they mean the world to you. :) *hopeless romantic*

 

No pictures....But Dan and I celebrated the day after at our favorite restaurant Outback Steakhouse. Dan raves about their Steak and rave about their sweet potatoes....mmmm.

 

I also received a nice surprise!

A valentine from a cute goldendoodle named Apollo. ;)

One of the residents that I work with is his owner....awwwww. haha.

 

 

 

High Five!

 

1.)  I made it to the gym x4 times this week and have been running 1-1.5 mile every time at a 8 min pace. Not breaking records or anything but happy to be back running.  :D

 

2.) Dan has some news that hopefully we can share soon! But- good things happened for him this week. Go Hubby!

 

3.) We officially upgraded to high speed Internet. I have been operating at dinosaur speed for too long.

 

4.) Finally started to work on the house again...Winter has really put the brake on house projects. Something about it being cold and gray just really wipes you out.

 

5.) Grocery shopping was done before 9pm Friday night. WOOOHOO!
