New House

2011-07-31T16:59:00.004-06:00

The house is painted and the outside is almost complete! It's on to the inside. Yesterday the dry wall was completed and the house now looks like what we bought. It's amazing on how just putting that up changes the whole look. We are excited!!

Cannon Beach 2011

2011-07-24T17:49:00.004-06:00

We just got back from a fabulous time at Cannon Beach, OR! The temperatures were perfect and we had mostly sunny days. The place we stayed at, The Seasprite, was awesome and right off the beach. We were so lucky to get 5 nights there and Emmett was able to celebrate his birthday in a beautiful setting. We had so much fun and also took a day trip to Portland to see my uncle. While in Portland, we tried Voodoo doughnuts. They were ok, but a lot of fun to see all the novelty doughnuts that they have come up with. I also found a great crepe place in Cannon Beach and might be a little addicted now. It is owned by a cute family of 3. We also went to Hug point to check out our engagement spot and took a little drive to Tillamook to get some of the best cheese and ice cream ever! It was so hard to come back home, but back to work tomorrow. I will miss my evening walks on the beach each day. Next trip is in 2 weeks to Lake Powell with all the fam!

PS. We loved the little bunnies all over the hotel grounds. Except the one that tried to attck Emmett...not so cute.

House in progress

2011-07-24T17:38:00.003-06:00

I don't know why the pictures have to come up in reverse order of how I uploaded them, but oh well I guess. So obviously the bottom is pre-house and the top two are the most current. I thought I could have patience, but I don't. I want it to move faster. It's been fun to look at the house everyday to see what has been done!

I LOVE the patio cover! I sooo can't wait to use it!!

So far our closing date is September 30th. We haven't packed a thing so I guess we should get going with that!

It's a go

2011-06-28T22:46:00.002-06:00

Well, we have done all the paper work and we qualified...which amazes me! We are building a house through Coleman homes! We are very excited and even more excited that we get to do it together and make it fully ours. They started digging on 6/23/11 and everyday we go and take pictures to document the progress. I will post some later.

We decided to build for a couple reasons: 1. There are 4 houses for sale in the area that are not short sales and we don't like them. 2. It is so cheap right now because the interest rate has hit rock bottom at 4.25% and people want work so they do it for cheap. 3. We are looking at long term and by building we can dictate what we want instead of settling on major things.

We wanted to do this now while the market is low and we are able to afford it. If the market changes any little bit, this would not be do-able for us. The house we are in is too small (amazingly) to expand a family in, but that is due to the layout and only ONE extra closet. I want to do it now before having kids added to the mix. I wanted an "ours" house.

The stats:
-Coleman homes is the builder who is sooo awesome compared to others
-We chose The Reed floor plan off of Mcmillam and Black Cat-yes 2miles down the road
-We got a bonus room and porch addition
-24oo sq ft-almost double our other house
-an office
-3 bed 2 bath
-lots of extras like granite and faux wood floors in certain areas

We have had to make lots of decisions and some stressful moments and some fun. It has been an interesting process. I highly recommend knowing exactly what you want and settling on some small things or the price jumps really fast with too many extras. All in all we got all this for $188,000 or for $73 a sq ft which is such a HUGE deal compared to what it used to cost. Our payment only went up $150/mo which is very do-able for us.

What about the other house? Well the market still sucks to seel, but the rental market is awesome with all the foreclosures so we are going to be landlords for awhile. Either we will keep it as an investment or sell it when the market goes back up it we can't stand being landlords.

I am going to miss our current house for everything I put into it like the yard. That took a lot and I love my trees, but we will begin again I suppose. I'm sentimental...I'll live.

To be cont....

P.S.

2011-05-30T22:32:00.002-06:00

P.S. I love my kitchen aid and becoming a pro at homemade bread. It's so yummy. We also painted the living room and it looks great. So much nicer than oatmeal colors. We got a new kitchen table and desk so we could finally complete some rooms.

I know...I know

2011-05-30T22:18:00.002-06:00

Yes, I know...It's been awhile. Seems like time has flown and not much has happened.

We both just keep plugging along at work. I can't even think of anything big that has happened. Emmett is taking summer classes so he can at least keep moving along with that, but the poor guy hardly gets sleep on the days he works. I am helping him with a Bio class needed to graduate and the rest is all him. Hopefully, though, after fall semester he will graduate with an Associates and move on to a B.S.

We have some exciting news coming up, though. I want to get farther along in the process before I post it. No, I'm not pregnant. Different news so stay tuned.

Oh yes. We did take a trip to Seattle, WA and it was a blast. It was a nice long weekend and fun to be with Emmett there since he was stationed in the area and kinda knew what to see and do. We stayed with one of my high school friends. She's getting her MD and it was great to catch up with her! We went to the tulip festival, sooo pretty and so close to Vancouver, BC. I wanted to drive just a little farther to be there again. We went up to Fort Lewis where Emmett was stationed, did all the fun Seattle sites like Pikes Market, and ate such yummy food! I love traveling to large towns because we finally get some good food! Boise's restaurants suck. Overall, a nice mini-vaca. Pretty drive, too. One of my "I wish I could live there" places is Seattle.

Talk again soon!

Christmas! Part one

2011-01-13T13:37:00.005-07:00

Santa visited us and was very nice to us this year! We were spoiled and got tons of goodies! It was so great to be able to spend it with Emmett and enjoy ourselves. We had a late morning and great food later... just the two of us. Emmett is super thoughtful with gift giving and actually remembers things I want so that made it wonderful too!

This was my first clue as to what I was getting!

Santa was super good to Emmett and brought him a PS3, which Santa was reluctant to give such a gift and an iPod shuffle to replace the broken one.

The big reveal of the RED KitchenAid!! Soooooo excited and love it!!!

Sadly it looks pink in this picture, but it really is cherry red.

Stay tuned for the next installment of Christmas! There is just so many pictures to share.

Epic snow of the year!

2011-01-13T13:29:00.004-07:00

This was one of my favorite days of the year! I know I'm an odd duck liking the snow, but I do!! Can't change that! It was soo beautiful that day and I wish every day of winter was like this. We had 10inches in one day!

This guy looks good in snow, too.

The tree

2011-01-07T12:30:00.004-07:00

I wanted to get Emmett a nice stocking this year that would last forever. I have had the same stocking since I was a baby, but I wanted to update mine before my other one fell a part, I found these lovelies at The Pottery Barn for a great price. They are made out of wool just like real stockings. We both love them. Since we are mantel-less, this is where they got hung. Emmett go the long white one.

Since I was so excited to put a tree up, we didn't get a real tree this year. I think it still looks great! I just miss the pine smell. We have three ornaments so we compensated with some candy canes and cranberry garland. I think our tree was a tree only we could love due to the lack of decor. There is a reason for that: I had a tradition growing up that each new place we went, we got an ornament for the tree. So my mom's tree has all the travelling memories on hers. Well I thought it would be great for E and I to do the same since we both love to travel! So we have 3 so far, but as we collect more, we will have some great memories!

Catch up!

2011-01-07T12:16:00.002-07:00

I've been absent on the blog for the holidays. It was just too crazy to be on here so today I will start uploading it all! For my own memory, I going to put a little highlight of 2010.

2010 was a big or maybe just a bigger year. Well a lot seemed to happen, but I don't think I can remember half of it. Ha! Emmett and I began wedding planning, which I don't think I will ever want to do that again! Our families helped a bit, but for the most part we foot the bill and we were able to cover it all without any debt! We took a trip down to Flagstaff, Az where I have a lot of my family and had a blast, as always! We attempted some camping trips, but this year we will do better! We acquired a 2006 4Runner and a 2010 VW Jetta TDI. We love them both! We got married at Sawtooth Winery August 28. It was the coldest day of the summer. That's right, I swear it was 50 degrees in August! I'm still getting over my disappointment. The wedding went well and I had some of the best vendors that did beautiful stuff! The cake, flowers, and photography was fantastic!

We went to Vancouver, BC for the honeymoon. It was sooooo wonderful there! There are no words to describe it. Thanks to our honeymoon registry, we were able to go all out! It was great! I can't wait to go again! I had surgery on my left eye, a first, to reinforce my retina. I have mixed feelings about that. Glad it's tacked down, but one step closer to vision loss. E and I were able to have Christmas and New Years off together. We took full advantage of that since who knows when that will ever happen again! 2010 was one of the best years I've had! I can't wait to see how 2011 goes. We have some great stuff planned!

Goodies

2010-12-19T18:10:00.002-07:00

I'm pretty excited for Christmas to be here so I can open all my presents. It's killing me. I need to know and I can hardly bear to keep Emmett's gifts a secret. I like to just tell people. I'm especially excited about a larger box under the tree for me! I can only guess what it is and I hope it comes with attachments! Oh, and goes in the kitchen so no one interprets that last statement dirty.

We started painting the house and so far the colors have turned out great. I'm a slacker and haven't taken any pictures, but I will get to it. The last week I have been distracted with making some Christmas cookies and candy. Yum!

It Arrived!

2010-12-01T09:50:00.004-07:00

This was the view out the door this morning and I love it! Therefore I am soaking it all up because who knows when it will snow again. Oh...snow is my favorite!

IT'S ARRIVED! My Anthropologie tree skirt came yesterday!!!!! It is so beautiful and I can't believe that I fell in love with something that you show off for a month, but once I saw it, I couldn't find any other tree skirt that compared. It was my Christmas splurge. This Christmas is extra exciting, mainly due to it being E and I's first married Christmas so I got it. It will last a long time. Time to start our own traditions.

Thanksgiving

2010-11-25T08:25:00.002-07:00

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Mine will be spent at work and so will Emmett's. We are also lucky enough to be on opposite schedules, too. So Thanksgiving dinner will be provided by the hospital's cafeteria for the both of us. I'm just a little sad to spend our first Thanksgiving this way, but I'm sure I can get over it.

Anthropologie

2010-11-22T10:43:00.005-07:00

I have a new favorite store: Anthropologie. I can't afford half of their stuff, but I love their style! They have some great holiday stuff this year and I couldn't go without getting one of the tree skirts. (Unable to get picture.)

I scored these great latte bowls! They come in tons of colors. More than the picture below. I have heard nothing but good things about these and they are the perfect size for just about anything!! Oh, and they are affordable too! I can't wait to get a few more to complete what I already have! I have my eye on some plaid plates that are just awesome, but those will have to wait a bit.

Snow and Harry Potter

2010-11-22T10:30:00.002-07:00

I have to say, for the record, that I love Love LOVE! snow! I am so glad it finally has snowed, but a little disappointed at the lack of sticking. I will take what I can, though!

Emmett and I went on a date yesterday. We went and saw the new Harry Potter and then sushi at Happy Fish after. I don't like Harry Potter. I liked the first couple, then it took a turn to mass killing and scary that I don't care for. Harry Potter is not for kids. I didn't realize this until after I bought the tickets in advance and then proceeded to catch myself up on the movies. Emmett has read the books and enjoys them so I thought it would be fun to go to the theater for the new one.

Since we were in BODO, we hit up Happy Fish after. The two sushi rolls we picked this time were oh so yummy! Happy Fish does sushi so good. I just love it. It was a good end to the night!

A visit

2010-10-23T21:16:00.003-06:00

We had a visitor this weekend...a fun one. Jesse, Emmett's cousin, came Wednesday and stayed a couple nights with us. It was nice to have a visitor in the house. We toured downtown, tried out the Community Flatbread Kitchen....very delish. We watched a couple movies and just hung out and chit chatted. Jesse is super funny, a cutie, down to earth, and a great musician. Oh, the visit also included this:

Yes, they climbed on the garden shelves...more who could do it. Something Emmett has been trying for awhile. And this:

Some very good guitar playing. He's off to visit the rest of the fam in Montana, Washington, and Oregon. We wish you great travels and can't wait 'till we meet again.

P.S. I did try to talk him into moving here from Cedarville...I don't think I sold it well. He's also single...just saying.

Fall

2010-10-15T13:34:00.005-06:00

I LOVE fall and so it makes me happy to see it finally arrive! We went on a little drive yesterday down the backside of Bogus on a narrow dirt road that leads over to Horseshoe Bend. It would have lead right back into Boise if someone hadn't made the road their private property and Emmett had the guts to drive it anyway. He's a rule follower...something along the lines of being a cop and not being a hypocrite to the law outside of work. Anyway, it was beautiful and relaxing! One of our favorite things to do!

We pulled out our garden last week. The tomatoes took over everything and the zucchini prospered well. Emmett left a few on the plant to see how big they would get and here is the result:

I decided it was time to decorate the front door somewhat fall-ish items. I'm not the most creative minded person that I wish I was. The non-creative mind (and lack of money) kept me from decorating last year. I have pretty visions of the holiday decor this year in my head, but we will see how they end up outside of my head. Here is the Halloween/Fall look so far:

Back to work tomorrow.

An Overview...

2010-10-14T23:05:00.006-06:00

Back at it again...or attempting to anyway. Emmett and I got married. It was a beautiful ceremony...well I think, anyway. We had weird weather that included wind and 60 degree temps in August, but as everyone said to me , "at least it didn't rain." It didn't. Thank God!

Just a couple pictures, I know, but I don't think I need to post all up here. Emmett was good looking and I cleaned up ok. Our photographer did such a great job! For the record, I didn't post any of her pictures. The next day we left to Vancouver, BC...FANTASTIC!!! Such a beautiful place and we had a BLAST all week! Oh, and I chopped those long wedding locks off there. I couldn't take it anymore!

Spring Is On It's Way!

2010-03-02T21:22:00.002-07:00

I realize this may come too soon for the simple fact that I live in Idaho, but spring is sooo in the air! I'm so excited for some better weather! I'm sure there will be one or two cold spells and maybe an off the wall snow since this is Idaho, but I feel like I can deal with that!

As an update...
We have got most of the stuff set up for the wedding. There are a few small things left to do like hair, food, bridesmaid dress since she just became unpreggo, and set up details. We have engagement photos at the end of the month which I'm actually kind of excited about. I'm not sure what we are going to wear cuz I have a hard time with that stuff, but I suppose I will get that fingured out.

The Happenings...

2010-02-09T20:51:00.002-07:00

Emmett and I went to McCall this past Saturday to check out the ice sculptures. There weren't as many as the previous years or we missed some. We tried the new brewery, I think it was called Salmon Brewery something or other, and it was actually pretty good. They have a sushi bar also that was wonderful! It was just a day trip, but it was nice to get out and go somewhere.

I took my new boke out for a spin on Sunday which was pretty nice. Winter is starting to get to me so it was good to get out and do something that involves moving. It has been awhile since I've been on a bike and I didn't do too bad, but I got a little winded a little early so I will have to work on that...maybe from the lack of any movement this winter. haha

My Corolla, now named Penelope, decided it didn't want to run Sunday night after driving around all day. Mind boggling, I know. It would start up and then just die. Emmett has a handy dandy little check engine light diagnoser which said it was the emissions computer chip malfunctioning. Really?! It's a 2008 and it's malfunctioning? Well it got towed to the dealer on Monday and I'm still under warrantee so it will be a free fix. The dealer has pissed me off like usual and I will not get my car back until maybe Wednesday. Oh and despite Emmett and I having only one car now and on different schedules, they have no loner car for us cuz supposedly they are all being used. Thanks jerks! Guess we'll pick up the car at midnight and I will wake up Emmett to do it. If we don't, then we aren't availble until Saturday to pick it up. Angry... I will leave you with that.

Dear Winter:

2010-02-02T20:21:00.002-07:00

Dear Winter,

Unless you are going to dump a ton of snow, then you need to go away. I am now constantly cold and tired of the short days. I hate that you claim its winter, yet you rain a lot and snow very little....which in winter there should be lots of snow. I have a lot of plans for the warmer weather so it's time for you to leave. Thank you.

Anna

Sunday and Monday's big events

2010-02-02T13:13:00.004-07:00

It dawned on us Saturday (well for awhile now) that there is no way we are going to be able to go camping and mountain boke riding or anything that invloves a crappy road with two cars. I'm sure we could attempt it and maybe get away with no damage but that is tempting fate, I think. The both of us have always liked 4Runners so we randomly thought we would go take a look at what was out there to buy. I also have a pretty crappy mountain bike so we decided to use some tax refund on getting me a new one....a lot of buying thoughts were going on. Come to find out there is very little used 4Runners out there. We just happened to walk into the Toyota dealership when another couple were trading in their 2006 4Runner sport with 28,000 miles on it...what a coincidence. So we went back on Sunday to look at it. Emmett amazingly decided he would give up his Audi he just bought 2 months ago to see if we could get the 4Runner. This is a big deal due to him just buying it AND it being a fun little sports car that he's wanted. He said he wanted the 4Runner more so that we could go do a ton more stuff. Anyway, the dealership covered all the cost of taking over Emmett's loan!!! So we are new owners of a hot 4Runner with all the fixings! So Monday we went mountain bike shopping which had its ups and downs. I finally found the perfect one AND in my size so we are set for some camping and mountain biking! I'm so excited! I have to give a huge thanks to Emmett for giving up his Audi! I feel bad about taking it away from him despite him swearing he wants the 4Runner more. So Thank You!

Idaho City

2010-02-02T13:01:00.002-07:00

This past Saturday, we decided to take a drive up to Idaho City for the sake of getting out of Boise for a bit and see some scenery. It was an awesome drive and so pretty this time of year with all the snow on the ground. Emmett has a favorite camping spot up there, but there was no way the Audi was going to make it up the road so maybe another time. The drive was nice enough. Of course I had one of those moments of: I should have brought my camera, but oh well. We also went up the Lucky Peak turn off. I was curious on how low the lake was and of course it was really low so now I know. haha

Travels!

2010-01-20T20:50:00.002-07:00

I booked our flight to Flagstaff, AZ and I'm so excited to go! All of my immediate family on my mom's side lives there and they are all so much fun. My cousins and I have a blast and Flagstaff is such a great place. It will be a chance for me to catch up with everyone and for them to meet Emmett since the wedding will be so busy. We are going in May so spring will be in full force. I think what I am most excited about is a trip with Emmett and getting to travel somewhere. I love going places and it makes even more exciting to share it with him!

We also have decided where we are going on our honeymoon which I may have already said in a prior blog. We decided on Vancouver, British Columbia. We wanted to go to San Francisco, but the place is booked during that time so we will another time. Vancouver is supposed to be the SF of Canada. It will be a blast for a week! We went in and applied for our passports so that's done plus I'm planning more out of country trips for the future. Europe here we come...someday! haha

Emmett's family is from Cedarville, CA so we will be heading that way some weekend and hopefully taking some smaller excursions on our weekends for fun. Pretty sure it's going to be a good year!

An Addendum

2010-01-06T23:23:00.002-07:00

I will add:

Emmett doesn't really fit a cop mentality so I don't see crazy mental cop image that I pictured. He is very nice and would do anything for anyone. He's very loving in case anyone was concerned from the prior post. I wouldn't subject myself to crazy willingly. :)

His stuff...

2010-01-06T23:20:00.003-07:00

Emmett has moved in....

My stuff officially doesn't like his stuff...

Where am I supposed to put it all? It will work out or I will get rid of it all.

Not really, though. He doesn't have that much, but it seems like it. I did inherit a 46in flat screen TV and if any of you know what I had before (a little 14in TV) you will understand my excitement!

August 28, 2010

2010-01-06T23:09:00.004-07:00

This is the official date of the wedding. I wanted a spring wedding but that would be too soon to do a wedding and I didn't want to wait a year and a half. Nor did I want to share an anniversary with my birthday month. 28 is my lucky number. I was born 9/28. I've used 28 for everything. Emmett proposed to me 11/28 without him even realizing it. We had another special moment 12/28 without realizing the date either. So why not have a wedding cermony on the 28th also.

It's going to be at Sawtooth Winery and the dress has been picked, the DJ booked, cake tasting for fun next week, and meet with a photographer on the 23rd. It's slowly coming together and I rather shoot myself. I don't do girl an I never imagined how many small details there are, but I'm pushing through! I just was a simple, elegant wedding and I hope I can keep it that way! Emmett and I have taken on the expense which has added some stress... mainly for me. I will attempt to keep you up to date through here as time goes on.

We chose Vancouver for the honeymoon so much get started on those passports! I am really excited! He's super wonderful! Also, I realize I need some pictures on here, but well I'm at work so that will have to wait!

Engagement

2010-01-06T22:55:00.002-07:00

So, Emmett and I went and checked out wedding rings the week before Thanksgiving. When asked what kind of rings do I like, I responded with well I have no idea. I showed him what I liked, but refused to be a part of the whole buying process. That was for him to take care of. I was pretty sure one was bought, but I had no idea what his plan was and there was no way he was going to be able to pick it up before going to the Oregon coast for Thanksgiving so I gave up on the thought of being proposed to on the beach.

We arrived at Cannon Beach Thanksgiving day and went all over the beach and town. We took a drive down to Tillamook Friday and wandered the streets of Seaside. I had a blast with him without suspecting a thing. Saturday rolled along and my aunt, uncle (who graciously invited us to the condo on the beach), and mom decided it would be fun to do some pictures of us at Hug Point down the road. So off we went to go do that. It was gorgeous that day and we did our pictures and wandered the beach some more. The rest of the family went their own way and Emmett and I climbed up into a cove to get out of the wind for a bit. I didn't suspect a thing until 2minutes before when he got really nervous. I kept looking at him like what the hell is wrong with you? Finally he got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes and the ring was beautiful! I really appreciated him not asking me in front of the crowd where we did pictures and waiting for a moment when my family wasn't around. It was just the two of us and it was great! Come to find out, he ran straight from work to pick up the ring the night before we left and carried in his jacket pocket the whole weekend without me even suspecting it! I didn't notice him making me walk on his right side only and him guarding his jacket pocket.

Now I did ask him why he got so nervous if he knew the answer already. It was due to him wanting to be sure it was the perfect time and a little romantic. It was cute. He wanted to do it on a night walk but wasn't sure how the weather was going to be and then it dawned on him that I wouldn't be able to see the ring at night which finalized his descision. He did a great job and it will be a great memory!

2009 Part II

2010-01-06T22:42:00.002-07:00

I decided to dedicate a seperate post to meeting Emmett so I have a memory of it...

I was approached by Suzie, a nurse from the ER, about a new police officer with Caldwell that her husband and her wanted to set me up with. This was July, mind you. I told her that there was no way I was going to go on a date with a cop due to them having mental complexes that I didn't want to put up with. She insisted that I meet him because he was just so nice and respectful. And since he was kinda shy also she thought we would be a good match. So I gave in cuz I was tired of trying to find one myself. Well come to find out I wasn't allowed to meet him until after he was done with his 12 week training!! Ok, fine...I will wait.

Next, I got a text message in October from her letting me know he was done and that he would like to meet me. I had totally forgotten that I was supposed to meet this guy and had made plans with someone else...oh well I cancelled them. I made him meet me at the hospital the nextt night since we were both working and I didn't want to do a blind date because if I didn't like him I didn't want to sit through the whole date. I was afraid it was going to be a short not so good looking cop. Well as I walked out to meet him, checked him out, he was pretty dang cute AND he was in uniform. Conversation came really easy and we felt really comfortable with each other from the start. We set up a date for the weekend. After meeting him for the first time I thought two things: 1. I could marry this guy. 2. I'm kinda sad to say good bye. I have never thought these thoughts about a guy ever...EVER! We saw each other every day since. We were meant to be. I never thought the statement "when you know, you know" or "we were meant to be together" were true until now!

2009 At A Glance Part 1

2009-12-26T13:57:00.003-07:00

So to begin with the major stuff...

In April I bought my first house in a new subdivsion in Meridian. I have really enjoyed being a homeowner, but I still feel like I pay rent every month to some higher up. That I don't really own a house, but I suppose that just takes some getting used to. I have learned a lot with this house and I am lucky my dad has been around to help with the handyman stuff. I had to do my own landscaping in the back and ended up be taken by some jerk. I am still trying to et my money back from that. Live and learn, right?

I have been plagued with health issues this year and to you they may not seem like a lot, but for me it's a ton. I never have any health issues! I hurt my back at work which has been a crappy experience and wish the whole thing was over. Then I was told I have Mono...at least a 3month illness. Yeah...don't recommend.

In June I went to visit family in Arizona which was an absolute blast! It was the first time all the cousins were all adults and could go out and have fun together. I hope to make this an every year thing. I don't have any sisters or brothers and really no connections except my mom in Idaho so it was soooo nice to connect with my cousins.

I suppose the biggest news is meeting the love of my life which sounds sooo cheesy, but it's the only way to describe it. Amazingly we met and knew right from the start that we were the one for each other which lead to an engagement Thanksgiving weekend at Cannon Beach. It has been absolutely wonderful! I never knew love existed like this which makes me sounds all mushy and gross so I will leave it at that.

Now it's 2010. A new year! Hopefully it will be a good one and one to fully enjoy!

Ok, back on track

Well, ok. Time to get back on track with this because obviously my intentions went really well. Since last May, I've figured out my lanscaping, took a trip to Flagstaff, had a birthday, and met a guy...in that order too. So now that my life is getting a little more interesting I will have to make it a habit to post on here. More to come on the met a new guy part.

I suppose I'll give this a try!

So I read a lot of friends blogs mainly to keep up to date with how thier lives are going, but it never crossed my mind to actually create one myself. Every blog I read says they're doing this in place of a journal and it dawned on me that maybe that's a good idea. I suck at journals. After three days I always give up so I'll try this. Plus I can attach pictures and what not which can be fun...maybe. I just bought a house and this could be a fun way to keep track of how life goes from here on out...I assume well, but we all have down falls. Plus, I graduated from Boise State last fall and a new chapter of my life is starting. So there is my little intro.
