Last few moments of 2009!

We have David's good friend Sean and his friend from Canada (Kelly) stay with us Tuesday night. We took them to Wines of Colorado for dinner. It was a blast with a couple of bottles of wine and great food.



Tonight David, Ty and I are enjoying the last day of 2009 together at home. We went to see Avatar today, but now we are relaxing in front of the TV. We have a few glasses of wine and waiting for Peach Bellini Champagne (Yummy!!!)



Here are a few before and after pictures of our entryway.


Only before picture we have of our entryway!


Midway point of remodeling!


My mom and I painted the entire room.


David and George installed the new stairs...I love them!

See everyone in 2010!

Excited about the New Year.

David and I are so excited for 2010, and all we have to look forward to in the New Year. David's new business looks like it will be kicking off 2010 with several "Slam Dunk" deals. He will be traveling ALOT, but we are hoping I will be able to go with him on some trips. I am hoping to go back to school and finish my degree in Business Finance. I have been wanting to go back to school for some time (as some of you know), but I never felt like it was the right time. Well, here I go!



We are also looking forward to starting more projects in our home. We have a completed bathroom, master bedroom, and dining room, but we still have a few kitchen items, master closet, master bathroom, and front yard we would like to finish in 2010.

Kasey William Cannode (our nephew) is another excitement of the New Year. We are officially Uncle David and Aunt Nikki, and we couldn't be happier. He is the beautiful rainbow in our skies, and we can't wait to see him grow.

David holding Kasey...I don't think he was excited at all!


Happy New Year!

Starting the Blog for the Second Time

David and I started this blog a year ago to info our family and friends know can't be near us what our life is all about, but we haven't done a very good job so far. Our New Year's Resolution is to start this blog for the second time and continue updating it. So here we go...

As of May 4, 2009, we were officially Mr. and Mrs. Cannode. We had a beautiful wedding in Las Vegas (one of our favorite vacation spots) with a few very close friends and family members. After a few days of Vegas we decided to head to McPherson, KS (my home town) for a wedding reception and short honeymoon. It was a wonderful time as David met some of my family for the first time, and I was able to catch up with a few people I hadn't seen in several years.



In September we decided to go with David's parents (Pat and George) to Ohio to see his family. We spent 3 weeks meeting and catching up with many of his relatives. It was a great time getting to know everyone. We couldn't have asked for anything better.



As of the last few months we have been completing projects around our house. David has been traveling a lot for his job, and I have been getting ready to go back to school in the fall. We have also been very busy with our dog Ty who thinks he is in control of our home with David encouraging all the way.

We are looking forward to a New Year as Uncle David and Aunt Nikki to our new nephew Kasey and making more memories as Husband and Wife.
