Appliances

Over the past several months our appliances in our kitchen have been doing their best to crap out on us. The following are some pictures of our old and new appliances. Can you guess which are old and which are new?






The installers actually carrying in our fridge...





Easter Funny...I mean, Easter Bunny.




Painting

Ever since we moved into our house we have called one of our spare bedrooms the 'blue room.' Surprisingly, we called it the 'blue room' because it was blue. Really, really, blue.


This is Deviny's confused face


We still haven't painted the fan


But here is a splash of one of the new colors in the 'blue room.' We also painted parts of it white.



Hummingbird


Emily and I have finally come to the realization that what people have been telling us is true: we are terrible bloggers. Actually, let me clarify that we just have a really hard time blogging when we are both in school. Now that at least one of us (me!!!) is done with school I thought I'd work on catching everyone up on what we've done for the last few months...

On March 5th and 6th Emily and took a group of about 40 of her students to a nearby music camp called Hummingbird to work on some of their competition pieces and to have a little bit of fun. Emily and I had an awesome time and I think most of the kids did, too. Oh, and they learned a lot as well.


Troy gets one-on-one time with one of the clinicians.

Streeeeetch. FYI: the three guys in the middle never actually figured out how to bend at the hip.



Time for a break...

...and a hike!

As you can see, the views at Hummingbird were awesome!

Time for more work...




Bus ride!

Invested Here.

The bank I work for is currently undergoing a re-branding and along with that they are spending a little bit of money on advertising. The name of the bank here in Albuquerque has changed from First Federal Bank to Washington Federal.


Here's are a short ad we will be showing in movie theaters. We've got a bunch of billboards going up here in Albuquerque and we're advertising in the newspaper, radio and on buses, too. If you live in Texas, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon or Washington--be sure to keep your eyes and ears peeled over the next few months for similar adverts.
