SNOW DAY!!!

{ Posted by The Camburns at 9:00 PM Tuesday, January 20, 2009 }

Sorry for the delay, but I am lazy. Don't worry, this post will be filled with pictures as normal. However we have had quite the busy past few weeks. My mom, dad, sister, sister boyfriend (Phil), Erin, and I went to a globetrotters game at wings stadium which was fun. Then came the snow and the cold in South Bend. We currently have somewhere between 18 and 22 inches on the ground depending on who you talk to. For this reason Erin had her first SNOW DAY! Which was great except the fact she woke me up at 5:30 in the morning to tell me about it.....thanks hunny. That day it got down to -19 degrees without the windchill which was fun also. So that night our power went out for a few hours which wouldn't of been so bad, but we missed the news saying that you should leave your water running a little so it doesn't freeze over night. Needless to say Erin once again woke me up at 5:30 letting me know we were without water. So I called and found out that the pipes had somehow froze outside our house. So I went back to bed and was awakened at 6:30 because her car wouldn't start, it was definitely a GREAT start to a Friday. We decided to leave for Kalamazoo first thing Saturday morning and got to hang out with Phil and Kim for Phil's birthday, then on Sunday we went to Sturgis for my grandma's 80th birthday party. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! (that includes you to Phil) Luckily when we got back Sunday night we had water. However on the down side, we have older pipes and the rust had clogged some of the lines, so I had to take some apart and flush them out, it was tons of fun. I don't think I missed anything, but if I did I will address it in the next post in a month of so. Until then, YEAH PICTURES!

Wow, it has been a crazy semester for me. I have spent the last 16 weeks studying like a maniac. Last week was by far the worst. This was my life for 7 days. PS, I actually lived on the couch.....

OK OK don't let me fool you, I did do some fun things. Jon and I went up to Kalamazoo ( in November, I really need to up date the blog more) and hung out with our super cool friends. Some random pics from the festivities:

Jon and Lil napping. They are too cute!

I promised Kim I would put this picture on the blog for her :O)

Hollywood!!! Miss Lil you are adorable!

I, of course, have had a crazy busy 2 weeks studying and researching and more studying. HOWEVER, I have one more test tomorrow and I am test free for 2 weeks!!! I am beside myself excited. So hopefully I can update more frequently. But we have had some exciting events lately. The girls and I took a trip to the orchard, we picked apples and pumpkins. The weather was perfect. We had a fabulous time.

Laura in a tree getting the perfect apple. I think for Beth because she was too scared to get in the tree!

Jon being crazy high painting the house. It turned out so pretty though. He did a great job.

This weekend has been VERY busy for us. I decided I needed a red dining room. Huge project because FYI red paint requires at minimun 4 coats. But it was well worth the time because I LOVE IT!!! Take a peek at my handywork....

This is pre red paint

This is 4 coats later

We also decided to paint the outside of our house. Well Jon painted and I watched, but there is some touch up for me to do around the edges. Otherwise it looks FANTASTIC. And yes we now live in a green house!!

Jon being handy

PS thanks Rob for the paint sprayer. That thing rocks!!!
