Stories from an ordinary life

Merry Christmas!

I just wanted to wish everyone happy holidays. I've been too busy to sit down and do Christmas cards this year. Everything has been hectic with buying the house and dealing with work and finding Christmas presents. I can't believe the end of the year is almost here!

I hope everybody has a wonderful holiday season and is looking forward to the new year. I know I am! All are welcome at the animal house Eric and I will be running so come visit any time.

I'm Gonna Go Live In A House!

Hey everybody. I have to pass on the awesome news that Eric will soon be a homeowner. He put an offer in on a house that both of us fell in love with, and they negotiated and accepted an offer this afternoon. I know it's not technically my house, but I'm really excited he and I will have a place together in just a few months. I had planned on sticking in my apartment through the end of my lease on July 1, but I can't wait to pack up and move into the home. The best part is, it has a fenced-in yard so we can throw the dogs out any time we want.
We already have big plans for the place, but it's going to take us some time to get the money for the stuff we want. We'd like to build a deck this summer, but we need to put out the money for a lawnmower first. Then the next time we get to spend big money on entertainment it's going to a pool table. Anyhow, everything is really exciting right now and it's going to take every ounce of strength I have not to waste money buying stuff for the house for the next few months. I'm even excited to buy one of those mad long Swiffers to clean the ceiling fan in the living room (it's vaulted). I better get back to work before I get busted.
