Our New & Improved Living Room

Well after a year of talking about hanging the T.V. we finally did it! Our contractor came yesterday and hung the T.V. and then installed some great mouldings to hide all the wires. Vince and I couldn't agree on putting the cable box in the basement or leaving it in the living room-so I gave in and got creative. I found an old vintage wood Pepsi crate that works great for holding the cable box and dvd player. We also got a great deal on a new leather chair and ottoman to go where the T.V. was. It is nice that we can now have more than 3 people in the living room!

Carrie's Visit To Philly

We had a great weekend with Carrie! She had a little trouble making it out due to weather but she made it Saturday morning instead of Friday night. Once Carrie landed we hot the ground running! We went to the Liberty Bell and then played in the city all day! We had lunch at a great place called Devon-that we thought was a one of a kind steak house but it turns out it is part of the Bristol family. This was a great surprise because the Bristol is one of Carrie's favorite restaurants! We sat outside and people watched with some cocktails and then headed to one of our fav bars called the Continental, they have a great roof top bar! We then met up with our friend Emily and head to the oldest bar in Philly called McGillins. We then came back to the house and threw some food on the grill. Sunday we were planning on heading to the shore but the weather was not on our side so we headed out to Lancaster and did some shopping! We had a great dinner at a very nice restaurant called Nectar. On Monday Vince had to work so Carrie and I went to a few of my favorite stores. No trip to Philly would be complete without a Philly Cheesesteak for lunch! Carrie seemed to really enjoy her stay and Vince and I sure did! Up next are my parents on Wednesday and then Marci a few weeks later!

Our New 4 Runner

We got a new car this weekend! Vince & I had started the research and process of looking into getting a new SUV a month or so back. We knew we needed to trade in the Pathfinder b/c it was getting ready to roll 100,000 miles and was starting to have some probems. Vince went to the Toyota dealership that we bought his Camry at and he ended up finding this Limited Edition V8 Toyota 4 Runner. He worked out a great deal and called me to have me come up and look at it. I was in luv! It had everyting I wanted and more! Vince is happy to have me in a bigger car with many added saftey features.

We are heading to the Shore on Wednesday for some beach time! Some friends of ours have rented a Shore house for 2 weeks so we taking them up on their offer and head down! I told Vince he needed a day off to play at the water before summer was over! We are so excited for Carrie to come out and visit on the 21st.
