Good News and Great News

Good News: we should have the internet, phone, and cable hooked up today. We've been piggy-backing on an unsecured wireless network someone has nearby. We get about 11mbps max :P Our household goods are coming on Wednesday (the 9th). I will finally be blogging normally! Well... after we get all settled in.

Great News: our realtor called yesterday and the buyers still want the house and want to close by Jan 25th! They want us to paint all the walls a neutral beige color and service the HVAC system... definitely doable :) What a relief!!

We're enjoying our new lives together in our gorgeous home. We met a few neighbors. I met up with my friend Rachel whom I haven't seen in 7 years. This is us every day, but not as cold hahaha. Oh and Josh isn't allowed to be that hairy :/ I miss his goatee.

I am so glad your back. I felt pretty alone in the world of blogger there for a while,haha.

I love this picture,this is one to frame :)

That's GREAT news about your house. I am glad they still closed on it!
I can't wait to see pictures of your new home.

Mark has shaved his goatee a few times too. One of the times it was me who shaved it at like 2 in the morning on a crazy whim. He looks naked without it and I told him to grow it back right away...haha. I love goatees,I don't know why....don't like beards though, Too much hair & painful to kiss!!

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Image
Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
