FO: 'Love' Boot Cuffs

Made these super cute boot cuffs for a special friend. They were very easy to make! 

Dad - Accident with Jetta

This past Friday (1/23), dad was in an accident with the MCM Jetta, his work car. To make a long story short, it wasn't his fault. The other driver tried to turn left in front of dad, at the very last minute. They hit head on. Dad was taken to the ICU Trauma Center in Providence, Rhode Island as a result of him hitting his head. He ended up being just fine, just very sore, abrasions on his forehead and cheek, and a cut on his left ear. It certainly made for an exciting weekend though!

Here's the jetta:

In this picture, you can see the front windshield cracked where dad hit his head. 

Dad works for MCM Fundraising which is a Butter Braid company. He was delivering samples to prospective customers, so he had quite a few fresh baked butter braids in the car. When they went to see the car yesterday, dad said the butter braids are all over the car! 

This is the other car, a Toyota Rav.

Well, hello New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Can't believe its already 2015! And its been a long time since I blogged. So far this year has gone pretty smoothly! I guess thats a good thing :) I've enjoyed my winter break, I haven't done a lot, but it's been really busy and has flown by! 

School starts on Monday, and its my last semester! I am looking forward to being done in May. I have received a lot of questions as for what I will be doing once I graduate in May. Honestly, at this point, I have no idea! My goal is to just get a full time job. We will see how it all unfolds! 

Quote of the Day

FO: Regular Guy Beanie (for dad!)

I knitted dad a hat since he has no hair and his head gets cold :)

Good thing I finished it right before we went to NY last weekend. It was cold and snowy up there and he needed it! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!

EVFD - Fall Clean-up

My brother, Seth, is a member of the Ellington Volunteer Fire Department. When dad had his stroke a few weeks ago, they wanted to do something nice to help him out. So while we were in NY this past weekend, they snuck a group of fire department members over to our house and did a fall clean-up. Dad was very surprised and so thankful for all the help to make the yard look nice! Here's just a few pictures they sent to us.
