Just one of the many reasons

I heart mike:

Is this wrong?

I was going through Halloween costumes online and this is the only costume I could see myself actually wearing:


I think I need help.

Things I have to look forward to:

So after getting a bathroom wall (and door!) this past weekend it's allowing me to think of all the things I have to look forward to in (hopefully) the not too distant future:

  • being able to cook and bake in a brand new kitchen with a brand new range and microhood.
  • washing dishes! in our brand new dishwasher and our freaking sink with two basins instead of one!
  • taking a shower (and most importantly, being able to shave) in a full size bathtub.
  • using our brand new dishes and silverware.
  • doing my makeup in the bathroom.
  • not having to wear flip flops in the bathroom and kitchen at all times.
  • having the house be clean.
  • entertaining friends (aaron!).
  • being able to actually unpack my stuff.
  • decorating for the holidays.
  • sitting back and looking at how awesome everything is.

Look what I did:

I made the simplest curtains anyone has ever made! Awesome. We no longer have a t-shirt on the door thanks to the new magnetic curtain rod and my fancy shmancy curtains. You have no idea how much this excites me.

Happy Birthday to Holly!

Happy Bday to Holly Ann the little farmer girl! I hope your day was wonderful (and your presents that I just called and interrupted you from opening, the same)! So glad we got put in the same dorm and had the awesome class where we learned the story of "what's this, my balls for ya dinna?"

I bet you all wish you had a bathroom like this...

Yes that's the shower that it's attached to and of course we have the exposed wires :) We're liking it so much we're thinking we're going to leave it this way for the next couple of weeks. Notice how I'm cooking right next to the shower?

Step Brothers.

So yesterday Mike's sister, Jen said her and my cousin were going to the movies. I asked which one, and she said "Step Brothers" My response was, "THAT'S THERE?!?!" Really, I yelled. I had totally forgotten that that movie existed. That kind of response made her ask me if I wanted to go with, which I responded to with, "yup."

As we walked out of the theater I left saying, "I actually just saw a movie I liked." We've seen some movies that I didn't like so much lately (Tropic Thunder, You don't mess with the zohan) so it was a relief to actually enjoy something I paid money to see. It's just a totally silly movie that makes you laugh. Smile.

In other news, I just got a text from Mike that apparently the cabinets and counter tops just arrived! Now things are really going to get underway. Hip hip hooray. I can't wait to see them. Seeing as I had to work when Mike picked them out, I'm pretty excited. Pretty soon all my spare time will go to staining those suckers. I think it will be time well spent.

A friend

So last night I got to hang out with a girl(weird, but I rarely get to do that), my friend Sarah. I haven't seen her in months and months so it was really nice. I never get to hang out with friends seeing as none of them are around. We went our favorite restaurant/bar in town and I got a giant mojito. Delish. It was so nice to catch up and here new stories and tell stories. Anyone else coming up here anytime soon? I could really get used to this.

Also, look what we just got. Now if only we had a kitchen to put them in...I can't wait! :)


Oh, we got the blue and brown ones
