    The House: Day 1*

    We have a house. :) I’m tired. We moved in two loads of stuff, and I spent three hours cleaning my kitchen. Thanks to an amazing friend, I no longer have a disgusting fridge, my cupboards are sparkling and you can actually see out my kitchen window. *swoon* I’d write more, but I’m too happy/tired/exhausted to even think straight. We have a house. :)

    One More Sleep*

    Holy toot. Today the Hubster and I went to meet with our lawyer to sign our life away all the documents to finalize the purchase of our home. Tomorrow we go back… to get our keys. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (For some things in life, there are no words. Only exclamation marks.) I cannot believe that it’s almost here. I feel like we’ve been waiting forever for this day to come, and here it is, just one sleep away. And it’s a good thing too. Here’s what we’re currently living in… Our little pathways to walk have gotten smaller and smaller… and yet it still feels like I have a billion things left…

    We Bought a Truck!!

    It’s April. :) That means that spring is just around the corner, and also that I’ve blogged every day for three months. I never thought I’d be able to do it! March was crazy, but I survived! And I’m really glad that I’ve been writing to chronicle everything… in the past three months I’ve had two interviews, my nephew was born, and we bought our first house! And just to start April off with a bang, we decided to buy a truck!! For the past couple of weeks we’ve been hemming and hawing over whether or not we needed to buy a second vehicle. In a few weeks the Hubster…

    New Hair*

    Hi Lovelies! I’m up in B-town right now enjoying a lovely mini holiday with my family. It’s been a wonderful visit so far, though I always miss the Hubster terribly whenever I’m away. I’ve spent time with Mom and Big Dad, played with Pingo and Hugh (last night Pingo and I shared a bowl of “Pop Pop” and watched American Idol), and I finally cut my hair. For the longest time cutting my hair was an absolute nightmare. When we first moved to B-town from the Great White North almost 10 years ago, I managed to find the best hairdresser here in town. His name was Jeremy and he was…
