What we have been up to...

1. Moving
2. Unpacking
3. Assembling an armoire and cabinets for the laundry room (these took several days!!)

5. Knocking down wasps nests (two, in fact)
6. Mounting bookcases to the wall
7. Organizing
8. Cleaning
9. Laundry
10. Dishes

What we still need to do...
1. Assemble a desk, a bed, and two kitchen chairs
2. Mow and spray our extremely long grass
3. Fix about 30 small things around the house
4. Hang pictures
5. Buy tons of things for around the house (rugs, garbage cans, etc.)
6. Finish unpacking
7. Organize storage room, den, garage, and two bedrooms
8. Meet more of our neighbors
9. Check out all the parks nearby
10. Catch up on sleep!

What I have NOT been doing...
1. Checking email or blogs (my GoogleReader says I have about a zillion things to read)
2. Exercising (well, does running around my house unpacking things count?)
3. Giving Jared enough attention
4. Reading my library books that are due soon

We love our new house. I pretty much walk around all day with a big grin on my face. :) I can't wait to get even more settled in.

Excitement!

Our lives have been very crazy lately, and I haven't wanted to blog about our exciting news in case something fell through. But we are moving very soon to a house! I'm not going to post pictures of the outside so that all of our stalkers won't find us, but here are some lovely pictures of the inside. (I wish our furniture looked this nice!) By the way, for those who are wondering, yes, this is the same house that I blogged about a while ago.








We are really excited! Our house has 5 bedrooms, a completely finished basement, a den, and a playroom, plus a swing set, small vegetable garden, and two fruit trees in the backyard. Wish us luck as we make this transition!

Simpsonize Me

Alan

My brother Matt sent me this link to Simpsonize yourself. You upload a photo of yourself and then you can adjust features like hair length, body type, etc. I've only seen a handful of Simpsons episodes my entire life, but this was fun nonetheless!
