Friday, November 10, 2006

I am not sure why, but Fridays have a tendancy to be R E A L L Y S L O W at work. So at the moment I am unbelievably bored. And only Jan has blogged recently. Ya'll need to blog about your exciting lives so that I have somehting to do when my phone doesn't ring. I netflixed "Cars" and will finally get to see it this weekend :) We continue to work on unpacking, I am farther alon than I thought that I would be by not, but still a long ways away from where I want to be. We did eat our first sit down meal yesterday! I got the kitchen almost finished and the dining room cleared out and the table centered, complete with tablecloth and dishes, plus I got home in time to make a yummy Pineapple BBQ chicken dinner to make our fist official at home meal :)
The rain continues to annoy me, I had to drive through a road pond today and a large chunk of my commute was out of power, which made it even more interesting.
Thats all I got... come on speak up...

God Bless!

Busy Beavers

Hi All!
Life has been crazy here in the rainy Northwest. We moved this last weekend and it rained... we got wet. Then it continued to rain and my world got a little crazy. A leak sprung in my roof by the skylight and went drip, drip drip for hours. The nice roofer guy said that we should be able to fix it ourselves (just buy a ladder and silicone) so we will try that tonight. We found a stackable washer and dryer on craigslist that will be delivered tonight :) It is exactly like the one we had in the condo, which is good cause I really liked that one. On my way to work yesterday SR 410 was closed and I got lost trying to find my way around it to get to work so I just went back home and worked on unpacking. Work was very understanding as I was not the only one with a lake over her road. I was able to come into work today, but I did have to drive through about 6 inches of water a couple of times. I will probably take a higher, albiet slower road home just to be on the safe side. I did manage to get quite a lot done yesterday, but I am pretty sore today.
Thanks for everyones help, It was wonderful to get it all moved in one weekend.
God Bless and try to stay dry!

Autumn

I love Autumn, except for the rain and the cold that is. I love the colorful leaves and all the yummy fall foods. I love cozy sweaters and fireplaces. This weekend Jonathan and I are throwing our 2nd Annual Harvest Party. We have a bunch of friends over and we all go to a corn maze and get lost, then when we find ourselves we pick a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch and then we head back home. We then open the door to the scent of a cooking turkey and carve our pumpkins while our mouth waters. Then I finish up the final dinner preparations and we FEAST! There is Turkey and mashed potatoes and stuffing and hot apple cider and sparkling cider and pumpkin pie, we then play games and enjoy the cozy fireplace while we hang out with good friends. I love Tradtition!
For those of you who may have noticed, There is another link on my blog, This My Recipe Box. I am slowly adding all my my recipes to the internet so that one day I will be able to access all my favorite recipes as long as I have the internet. So please feel free to check out the ones I have already and let me know if you would like to add any.
Lots of fun!
God Bless!

Cookie Houses!

Hello all!

But that is not the point of my blog, This last weekend Jonathan and I went to Longview, he went fishing with his dad and I got to learn how to make ginderbread houses with Jan, Grandma and Teresa and Laura! It was soooooooo much fun and they turned out beautifully! Enjoy the Pictures :) I posted them in reverse order so start at the bottom and go up.. Oops...
