We are all moved into the new house now! Andy and I just love it to pieces. So much unpacking to do yet, but it is really starting to come together.

We couldn't do it without all the help from our loved ones this weekend. Dustin, Alex (my brothers), Aaron (Andy's brother), Cara and Tracy (our bestest friends in the whole wide world) all came to our ( Read more... )

The Oscars were on last night. I watched Hugh Jackman be his usual talented, hot self. The whole thing was way too long and everyone seemed to be wearing beige this year. Color must be out due to this stinky recession thingy. Although Reese Witherspoon wore a purple/blue dress that was just awesome (yet nobody talked about ( Read more... )

Andy called me all excited today about a new thing at Gustavus. They have a video rental vending machine called Goldbox by Prarie Video in the building he works in. He got a movie for us to watch called Quarantine - which is a horror movie remake of a spanish horror movie called REC. This is one of those dizzy handy cam movies where you may want to ( Read more... )
