The Case of the Missing Ottoman

This is one lonely chair. It's missing it's other half.

Last Saturday, we moved all our stuff over from my parents house. I kept feeling like something was missing....OUR OTTOMAN. We double checked my parents house...it's definitely not there. It's not just some dinky Ottoman, it was BIG. How do you lose a big piece of furniture??

If you see it, please send it home!

New Neighbors

We moved our stuff over to our new place on Saturday! Now where to put it....haha. We have briefly met our new neighbors. We have a nice German lady and her son on one side. I'm not exactly sure who lives at the house on the other side but we met a couple people that were there on Saturday. They were even nice enough to offer to help unload our stuff but we just had a few things left so I told them thanks but no thanks. They even invited me over to have a beer...and partake of their keg in the back. Again, thanks but no thanks. I was a little worried about it being a party house but gave it little thought because we were so busy unloading and unpacking. Later that night, we were getting ready for bed and noticed they were still in the backyard partying away. Our bedroom window happens to be right next to their backyard. Well...a few hours later...4:45am...I noticed it was finally quiet and fell asleep. Of course, Ronnie slept through the whole thing. When we were leaving for church the next day, a lady across the street yelled out "Sorry about last night". She said her son was leaving for Afghanistan in a couple weeks and they were throwing him a "good-bye" party and that they are usually quiet. Well, thank goodness because I don't think I'd be a very happy neighbor if I was up that late every night! So that was our first night in our new place. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Anyone have any crazy neighbor stories?

Home Sweet Home...almost

We officially purchased our first home!! We closed on May 7th and have started painting and updating while we are living with my parents. May seems to be a crazy month and we haven't had much time to work on it. We are hoping to move in this Saturday...we'll see what happens! We are so excited to have our own little space! It is a little townhome in a nice established neighborhood so it's a perfect starter home.

I'll have some pics to post soon. Painting my own walls is awesome!
