Snow, Christmas Lights, An Engagement and Home Renovations!!!

Well it certainly feels like winter lately! So much snow and no chinooks to be had :( Today wasn't too bad cold wise, definately not like last week and our -40 with the wind chill.  We did get a fair amount of fresh fluffy snow today though, about 4 inches!


Molly is just loving the snow! I was watching her from the kitchen today and she was licking the snow off of the deck and trying to bite the snowflakes as they were falling!! So cute and so funny to watch. She always comes back in the house with snow covering her nose! :)


After playing outside she almost always comes back inside to curl up on the couch or the bench and have a nap. She felt so wet and cold when she came in yesterday so I covered her with a blanket and she slept like this for over an hour! I just love this dog sooo much <3


Josh finished putting up our Christmas lights yesterday. I just love this time of year because of the Christmas lights and music! I just can't wait for our whole family to be together again to celebrate the holidays! And to celebrate something even better.....MY SISTER JUST GOT ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!! Love her soooo much and I totally love her fiance too, he's wonderful!! Ahhhhhh so much excitement and so much to plan!!! Yea can't wait to get started!



 So todays project has been on my list for a very long time. I have always felt that there was just not enough room in our closet. We that was easy enough to fix. I went to Totem and bought another closet shelf for my wonderful hubby to install!  This is what our closet looked like before....not nearly enough space, lots of unused space and disorganized.


Haha notice how you can't see any of hubby's clothes...well they are hiding behind the rest of mine on the left.  In addition to all the clothes hanging we had one basket of clean clothes and two baskets of dirty clothes!



So I cleaned out all our clothes to give us space to work.


And I piled the clothes on the spare bed. 4 of the 5 piles of clothes are mine. I make the excuse that I have to have work clothes and everyday clothes too! I think it works!!! :)


The whole installation only took about 40 minutes. And for a needed update I'd say that's pretty good!




And here is the finished product!!! I LOVE IT!!!! And yes, I did in fact organize my clothes by color!! :) It makes me happy. Seriously can't believe what a difference this makes, and I can actually remove my clothes when I want and they are not shoved in so tightly that they are wrinkling. And now I actually have room to put some of my purses and shoes which frees up some space in the hall closet!


Now we have room for towels and sheets, which considering we don't have a linen closet is very important!




What a great weekend!! We got some wonderful news and we got a lot done. We even got a fair bit of our Christmas shopping done. And for once Josh is done shopping before I am.  I better get on that! :)
