Cold Day

It is so cold. I am definitely not ready for the cold weather. Not to much going on here just trying to stay warm. I hope all of you are staying warm as well.
We had a great Thanksgiving! Our time off went way to fast but it was a lot of fun. From Wednesday night till Saturday morning we spent time in Algona with Chris's family. They all got to meet Cole, and I would say it is safe to say they all loved him. Cole was very good on the road trip up and home. He did make sure Chris knew when it was time to pull over to let him out to go to the restroom. We were almost to Algona and Cole barked right in Chris's ear. When Cole means business, he means business.
On the day of Thanksgiving we traveled to Charles City with Chris's family to visit Oma. Chris and I brought the turkey, which went over very well. Thanks dad for smoking the turkey for us. On Friday we were kind of bumbs until the afternoon when we came back to Chris's parents house after our outing with Dustin, Andy, and Holly. We found Denny and Darlene had tore out the north wall in the sun room. They were suppose to be just replacing the windows with a new one and ended up replacing pretty much the whole wall. So Andy and Chris jumped right in and help redo the wall and frame in the new window. Hope you boys are ready to help with the other two walls when Denny is ready to replace those windows.
Saturday afternoon we spent with Crystal's family. Cole got to meet Molly(Jonah's puppy). They liked each other and played for a long time until Molly decided she didn't want to play anymore, then they weren't so nice to each other. Not sure what exactly happened but Cole ended up with a tooth through the tongue. It didn't bother him any. On Sunday we went up to Crystal's grandparents to celebrate thanksgiving. Cole got to stay home, which I don't think he like to much. He was crazy when we got home. Sunday night we went to the movies with Ben, Mike, and Lucas. Ben was back from Texas to visit over thanksgiving. We were so happy we did get to spend a couple nights hanging out with him before he left Tuesday.
So now we are back to the grind again working. Crystal got to work twice Tuesday, she got called in to sub nurse at Westmont elementary during the day and had to work that night at Children's. The last couple nights Chris has been working on wedding invites.
Well I hope you all stay warm. Have a great rest of the week and weekend.

Happy Early Thanksgiving

Hope that everyone has a great and safe Thanksgiving. I have to work tomorrow and then a 4 day weekend. HURRAY! Don't eat too much, watch some football, or fall asleep. I am thinking of doing all in that order. Ben we will call you when we get back so that I can through some hotdogs in you FACE! ha ha ha. One last thing, don't get run over by the crazies the day after Thanksgiving.

Decoration Time

This weekend we are going to get out the Christmas stuff and start Decorating the house. Better get it done cause we are going to Algona for Thanksgiving. If I feel up to it I might get the spare bedroom cleaned up for the office switch. Depends on how lazy I want to be.

Is the Weekend Here?

A long week for the Nixt's but for me the weekend is a going to be a good break. For Crystal, not so much, she has to work the weekend and then Monday and Tuesday. That sucks. At least I can get her Christmas gift.
This just in- We have the smartest dog in the world. He can now sit, shake and lay down. Shake and Lay down only took 2 days a piece to learn. Good dog.

Home Owner's Blues

Nothing like owning a house and having problems. Our water heater broke yesterday and lucky for us we were home cause water could have gone everywhere and cause some serious damage. I have a plumber coming in this morning to fix it and hoping it will be an easy fix. The sad part is we have no running water cause who ever put the plumbing in this house didn't put a shut off valve to the water heater so I had to shut off all the water. Good thing we have bottled water and that both toilets have 1 good flush in them.
