In love with my vacuum....



I'm on my lunch break, so I thought I would take a moment to express my love for our new vacuum. Okay, so, for those of you who don't know... we have an almost one-year-old chocolate lab named Maverick. We love him to pieces, but we do not love his hair everywhere!!!! Add in the fact that we have new carpet that sheds and you get TWO broken vacuum cleaners! I had enough with it all so I broke down and bought a Dyson Animal vacuum cleaner yesterday. Let me just say, I have NEVER been so excited about vacuuming the house as I was last night! IT IS AMAAAAAZING! And SO worth the money. I'm so thrilled that I'm going to do the baseboards tonight! And I'm excited about it.... that does not happen with me! So, go buy one if you are in the same boat. It will rock your face off!

New to this thing they call Blogging


Hi everyone!! I've been inspired to start a blog. I thought it would be a good way to keep my family and friends up to date on things going on in mine and Frank's life. My good friend Jenni started one and I really enjoy viewing the pics and catching up on day to day activities at the Graham household. Thanks for inspiring me, Jen!! Plus I want to win a prize from a lovely and very creative lady (see Courtney, you've inspired me too!!!). For those of you who might remember (or hopefully still have!) our adorable Christmas cards from 2007, you've seen the work of Courtney from Come Together Cards. CTC has soooo many cute cards, business cards, thank you notes, etc. They have cute standard choices, but they also create custom cards like ours!! You MUST check out the website (www.cometogethercards.com) and her blog spot (http://cometogethercards.blogspot.com) The blog has random facts, such as Barbie's last name...hehe.. it is Roberts! Betcha didn't know that!! Check out the site and the blog. You never know what you can learn! I know you will love the products and I will be shocked if you aren't compelled to order something!!!


More to come from the life of the Rattan's.

Stay tuned.......
