Sneak Preview

The house is not near photo worthy yet but I'm so excited about our new area rug that I just have to post a picture of it! The flash makes it look a little more textured (aka. not vacuumed all nice) than it looks in real life, but you'll get the idea. Woot!

Monday...

Today was Monday. Enough said?

Got up early with a sore throat and other signs of getting sick.

Rode a PACKED bus and then a PACKED train and then another PACKED bus.

First class was pretty good.

Got totally stumped on the first assignment I was working on in my break.

Got to the next class "not early" and the class was PACKED with almost no seats.

Endured a professor who likes to ramble about irrelavent things and not teach the course material at all.

Heard about an internship meeting from my friends that I should have got an email about on September 4 that was TONIGHT! (Or Thursday thankfully). Stupid name change in my email.

Rushed home to eat lunch.

Rushed to my first filling EVER at the dentist. One of the WORST experiences of my life.

Thought I got a flat tire on the way home, but actually didn't.

Skipped grocery shopping because my cheek felt like it was the size of grapefruit. But started laundry.

Then my wonderful husband came home and tried to cook us suppper on the barbeque. Cue the barbeque COMPLETELY dying. He cooked supper on the stove instead. Hooray!

Wrote some thank you cards and filled out more name change forms and started filling my new shoe rack (that I'm estactic about) that Leif put together for me.

Ate supper and watched our turtles eat too.

Rushed to a Retirement 101 course. Yup, definitely the youngest by far there. But got coffee out of the deal!

Went to Walmart to get Cold-FX for both of us.

Bedtime. Finally.

Hopefully Tuesday is better. Happy 4 months hubby!

Happy Note...

We had this note left at our house one evening. It made me smile!

Our House: Before

Now that we have internet in our house (well actually at the parentals) we can show you our new house! These are pictures of the house when we took possession. The place came with all the furniture... and a few extras.

The outside of the house. We have the front half, top floor (so all three sections of windows) and the left garage (19). On the left is our bedroom with the spare bedroom behind that you can't see. The deck is in the middle with the living room right there and the bathroom behind. And the right window is in our eating area with the kitchen behind. Our door is to the left of the building and the stairs go up behind the second bedroom and bathroom. Make sense?


This is our front (and back I suppose) door.


Looking in the front door and up the stairs. The other door you see is to the garage and there's a closet to the left.


The lovely garage my husband adores.


This is the laundry room at the top of the stairs.


Kitchen with a pantry and the linen closet is just to the left. The laundry room is just behind and to the left of where I'm taking the picture and the stairs are behind me.


The living room. The deck is right outside that door.


The eating area. The kitchen is to the left.


The tiny bathroom.


The second bedroom.


Our bedroom.


View from the deck.


The beautiful chair in the bedroom. It's now on my grandparents' deck. And the Hello Kitty quilt. It's in a bag for Value Village.


Our closet with our hanging clothes in it already. That's the bathroom on the right.


And the wonderful shower curtain. We got a new one.


The house looks a little different now. Including two new sets of shelves and a piano! Once I have it all cleaned up and organized we'll take after pictures.
