Exciting news: after one incredibly long month of trying to take an online course without actually having internet access at home (hence the posting at 8:44 a.m. from a coffee shop), we have finally ordered internet for our house!!! Yea!! As of Friday, if not before, we will be joining the modern world of technology and convenience! Just thought ( Read more... )

After reading one of Jen's latest entries, it made me start thinking about life and how much things change. It's so true, especially at our age. And they change pretty quickly. One day things are one way and you think they always will be, and then all of a sudden they're different. Granted, it usually doesn't seem sudden at the time, but in the ( Read more... )

We have a house! We closed Thursday and started painting this weekend. Our original plan was to paint the whole house this past weekend and this week, then move next weekend. Then we bought all the paint and supplies for the kitchen/dining room and living room and decided we'd just do one or two rooms at a time...needless to say it was not cheap. ( Read more... )

Okay, so you all have to watch the movie Stay, with Ewan McGregor, and tell me what the HECK it means!

Oh yeah, and we're homeowners now, as of today!!!

Well, we're supposed to close on the house this Friday. As in four days from now. I can't wait, I'm so excited. Liz, her mom and I all went to the house Saturday to look at it and then picked out paint colors for all the rooms. It's going to be so cute!! Daniel and I are just holding our breaths until Friday when everything becomes official. Lord ( Read more... )

Sunday, March 19th: Okay, so Sunday was our first real day in Puerto Rico. Seeing as how we were supposedly staying on some of the best beach area on the island, we decided to spend the day laying out and relaxing. The beach was not what I expected. The sand was brown, not white, and there was not as much sand before you get to the water as I ( Read more... )

As you may or may not know, I just got back Thursday night (well, Friday morning to be more precise) from Puerto Rico. It was my sister's (better late than never) graduation from college gift. I have decided to chronicle the trip here on live journal, for my sake as much or more as that of you guys. If it gets kind of long, I apologize. But ( Read more... )

Ok, so I went house hunting for the first time Wednesday! Daniel had to work late at the last minute, so it ended up just being me, my real estate agent and her 10-year-old daughter. I liked every house, until I saw the next one which I loved even more. And so on. I did find one which I REALLY loved, but it's in Alabaster, so I'm not sure because ( Read more... )

Ok, so as you may have guessed by my subject, my life has been a bit crazy lately. I am busy balancing work-school (as in my teaching job), school-school (as in grad school), working out, and let's not forget a marriage and, um, a spiritual life. BLAH! However, except for the spiritual life part, I am enjoying the ride and find comfort in the fact ( Read more... )
