Yes, Sylvia, There is a Santa Claus

Well at least one of you out there in blooger land is sitting on the edge of their seat wonder if I got the Christmas gift of my dreams or not.

Let me not keep you waiting any longer!

Big D was so excited for me to open my gift from him so naturally I saved it until last. He informed me more than once that I was going to love it! I started to think that he was trying to encourage me to not be disappointed because the box was certainly not large enough to be a tread mill.

The time finally came to open the "best gift in the whole world." So with a little bit of trepidation I tore the wrapping paper off and opened up the box......

Behold! The best gift in the whole world!
















A Tread Mill!!! (get it? bike TREAD and a paper wind MILL!!!)

Big D is just to clever!

The real one is at our storage unit (that's another blog topic)


Unfortunately it is not in my basement yet. Then again I have been hosting a cold since New Years Eve and I would not be usung it anyway.

Fortunatley to get it into my basement some changes are happening down there that I have been wanting for a while.















There use to be a kitchen in our basement. The plan was to take the kitchen out and put in some shelving for storage. So Big D and Spencer went to work tearing out the kitchen. They had it out in no time!

They came upstairs with silly grins on their faces so of course I had to ask what was up! They went on to explain how great it would be to take out the wall that divides a perfectly good space in half.

As you can see I was all for it!

So now I will have this great open area where I can put my new treadmill, card making and scrapbooking supplies. I will also get a great new storage room to put the shelves, freezer and refridgerator in!

I am so psyched!!

I love the "treadmill" so clever! Looks like you get a bonus with all the remodeling :)Of course most guys don't mind tearing things apart do they?!
