Massive Hail Storm

Kim and I just finished cleaning up the gutters trying to unclog them. Luckily we got that done. No sooner than we got the gutters cleaned Aurora was hit with a Massive Hail Storm. We got some mad golf ball size hail in Aurora. See the pictures and video below. Craziness

Time Blocks for Delivery

So this morning I am working from home only because we decided to get a new bed. Well of course what that means for everyone that doesn't have a semi moving truck it means that we needed to schedule a Delivery for the furniture. This is my favorite time. Just waiting at home not knowing when they will show up. Oh don't worry though. Yesterday I received an upbeat call from a gentleman from the distribution center.

"Ernie, How are you today? I am just calling to give you the delivery window for your new bed"

Great i replied when do i need to be home?

"They will be there exactly between 8:30 am -- 12:30 am"

What I found pecular was the word EXACTLY. Doesn't this word give definition to a more exact time? What does exactly mean if retail starts using it in delivery.

So I am thinking that this terminology can be a benifit for all people.

Think of this,
If you don't want to display your age to someone just say "I'm exactly the age of 25-60"

or when its tax time and they need your salary say "I make exactly $10000-$150000" That way the goverment has to figure it out. wouldn't that be nice for a change.

So next time when delivery comes calling and they give you the EXACT time of when they are going to be there just know that this probably means that they will show up exactly between January 1 - and December 31.

Gotta love Exact delivery windows.

The Smell of Fresh Paint not Flowers

Welcome back Ernie and Kim, It's been a while since we last posted anything and trust me it's only because we haven't sat down and done it. We have had plenty of topics to blog about but we just haven't done so. Therefore I'm going to try and catch you all up on this one Blog.

Couple of things happening.

1. Kim and I decided that we are going China this summer

2. We got a Wii Fit and are currently training for the Bolder Boulder in May

3. Celebrated Kim's Birthday January 3rd

and

4. Spent our first Valentines day weekend together as a married couple doing what else....

No you sickos... we spent the weekend fixing up our house. So instead of flowers we had the fresh aroma of paint as Kim and I decided to finally paint our bedroom.

It was a great day of Prep work, having the inlaws over to help, and rewarding them with a home cooked meal. Guess what Barb J. we had the baked Ziti. It was great.

After painting Kim and I celebrated Presidents' day by running 4 miles outside with our dog and had Mark and Abby over for dinner. It's always a good time when Abby, Mark, and Nolan come over because Nolan always does something spectacular when he is here. The first time we babysat he learned to hump..(NO Not from me, I don't know where he learned it). Well tonight he decided to have the biggest blow out that anyone has ever seen. It was the equivalent of 4 chipolte pinto bean burritos. THANK YOU ABBY FOR MAKING CHILLI THE NIGHT BEFORE AND FEEDING HIM BEANS. So we all stopped dinner to bathe Nolan and burn his clothes(not really) Good times and might I say the steak was actually really good as well.

It was actually quite humorous as we were all eating our nice steak dinners and Kim looks down at Nolan and says (in the most calm voice) "oh that isn't very good" As we all looked down mount vacuvious was erupting out of the diaper and all over the floor. HA HA HA Kim and I have now experienced Nolan's puke and Poop first hand. YES we love him to death but it definitely good Birth Control! Kim and I just aren't ready for that. Then again i don't know if Mark and Abby are quite ready for those situations but it breeds good stories of fellowship.

Below are a couple of pictures of our adventures on Valentines Day.

Christmas Eve

So this was Kim and Ernie's first Christmas together as a married couple. Last year I introduced Kim to the wild family tradition of Fondue and crazy Christmas time with the Krauth family. So this was the second time we have experienced this together. The night started out going to church with the Findells and the Mackenzie's and Krauth family. Then we indulged ourselves with lots of food then great times opening presents. Of course my mom went overboard again but there are some good pictures. Enjoy the video of Christmas Eve 2008.

Christmas Christmas

I am at work today where there is hardly anyone here but I am here because I have taken all the vacation that i have for this year due to the Honey moon and other trips this Year. I can't really complain thoughas it should be an easy couple of days here at work. And realistically I might be able to get some work done without being interupted by all the meetings and such.

So today I am extremely busy catching up on all my blogging buddies and reading their posts. My favorite thus far is reading about Payton falling off the back of the stage. Poor girl. Also I love the random video of Mark and Rick (let's say getting jiggy with it). ha ha

Well because everyone is posting christmas pictures this season here are a couple of christmas photos from the parade of lights that we went to at the begining of december. Since then it's been Christmas Party after Chrsitmas Party after Christmas Party and throw a couple of Broncos loses in the middle of it and we all are having a very merry christmas here.

I can't wait for the day of our Saviors birth just for a little relaxation.
