Shehadeh Update

It's been a while since I have blogged; however, one awesome thing has come to be since my last post - I have a memory stick adapter so I can put up pics now instead of finding goofy kids with mullets on the Internet - haha So here's your Shehadeh Update: (1)My brother ISAIAH and my almost sister KATHY made the trek down from Minnesota for a few weeks. We went downtown to show them how amazing new orleans is not only at Mardi Gras but when the Saints are headed to the Superbowl : )

The SAINTS WON THE SUPERBOWL!!

and we celebrated...and celebrated...and celebrated...

Yummy Valentine's Day Dinner

cooked by my personal chef and husband!! It was a pork roast with veggies and sausage - SOOOOOO good!

Murder Mystery

Adam and I participated in a murder mystery dinner at church - 40s themed!! It was so much fun...and I turned out to be the murderer - haha!!

A NEW GARAGE DOOR!!!

So, our garage door has been broken for a while. It will go all the way down then pop back up on its own. Well, we had a GO USA party during the Olympics and I ran out to get some chips. So when I came back home, I closed the garage door...and it popped up again as I was talking to one of my friends... So I hit the button again to put it back down. This time, it came back up AGAIN and my friend said, "I think it's hitting their car!" OOPS!! That is exactly what happened. The good news - their car wasn't hurt. The bad news....the pressure the door put as it tried to push down (on the car) bent the garage door and made it impossible for the opener to open and close it! BIG OOPS....followed by lots of blessings: Adam found a door the exact size we needed for free on craigslist from a guy in Sulphur, Adam's brother had free access to a trailer, adn we got a new garage door opener for super cheap from my parents home town!!!

Then came the installation - thanks to YouTube videos, Adam was able to install the door himself...with some help from Dad and Michael, and it only took....drumroll......14 hours!!! lol But he did it! Here are some pictures...notice how the third panel is the same color as the rest of the door because after I took these pictures, unfortunately the third panel was a little messed up so we had to use our old door which is a different color. So - we have a striped garage door!! haha - oh well, at least we have one!
