A Few Pictures

A LONG TIME

It has been a LONG time since I posted and I've decided to start back up again! Bill and I have had a very big year. I have left my position at Linbeck and have started a company, Ann Page (www.annpage.com) while Bill is still doing very well at Skanska. We are all settled in to the new house and we have done a LOT. Just recently we have finished landscaping the backyard, got a new fence and replaced 18" of broken pipe under the house, although the last one was NOT BY CHOICE! :) So we are staying busy and I promise to do a better job of keeping everyone updated. We hope everyone has a great Christmas and a safe and fun New Year.

Love you all.
Bill and Virginia

The House...

Well as you can see from my last post, we are buying a house and we close on September 23rd. We are also in huge renovation planning mode because we will be putting in all new floors, re-painting the entire interior, changing the landscaping, getting new doors, etc. etc. etc. We plan on having our big move be November 14th in attempts to get settled before Thanksgiving. I will be taking LOTS of before and after photos to post on the blog so you all can see the transformation. We are so excited!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Our House!

Well, we had our inspections yesterday and it's official....we are buying a house!





We are super excited and can't wait to start the renovations. We will close at the end of September and will plan on moving in November. We have lots of work to do but we can't wait!

Mr. T's Surgery

Well for those of you keeping up with the blog, Mr. T's surgery on his kidney stones went well and the doctors feel like they got pretty much all of it and he won't have to go back for another surgery. He went into the hospital on Thursday and Bill and I brought him home this afternoon. He is still in a good bit of pain and still has the tube coming out of his back that hopefully he can have the doctors remove this week. He should be on the road to recovery but at the very least, he is glad that he is back home.

Bill is headed to Dallas tonight for safety training tomorrow and we have our first meeting with our new tax accountant on Wednesday. Other than that this week we will just be checking in on Mr. T and getting caught up on laundry and sleep.

Alabama Trip

Last Thursday Bill III, Bill IV and I left on our trip for Alabama. We left around 1pm from Houston and made it to Mobile, AL in about 8 or so hours. The following morning we got up, got on the road and headed for Lake Martin. We met up with all of the family around 3 and started having fun! We played in the lake, played badminton, played cards and generally just had a great time together. I got to meet some of Bill's family that I had heard lots about and I was really excited to do so. It is always nice having a face to put with a name. Anyway, we had a great time and I have to thank all of my hosts and hostesses because they did a fantastic job of cooking for us all weekend.

Looking forward to many more family trips together....

Love you all-

My Birthday!

Bill and I just celebrated my 25th birthday (it was July 24th) and it was wonderful!! My birthday was on a Friday so of course Bill was coming home from Dallas. Before he got home though he stopped and got me flowers, balloons, picked up my cake and then got my presents and cards out from a closet!

We went to Perry's Steakhouse that night for dinner and it was delicious! We went to the Perry's at Memorial City and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a yummy steak!! Then after we came home we drank a bottle of Tattinger (our fav) and dined on birthday cake! I had to beg Bill to let me FINALLY open my presents and they were the best....he bought me a silver jewelry case from Tiffany since it was my "silver" birthday, he got me the LV overnight bag that I wanted, he bought me a cutting board from Williams Sonoma that I wanted and gave me 2 great Peanuts cards. It was a great birthday!!

Here are some pics....
