Moving On Up

Good Morning, friends and family!  Here are some updates on our amazing adventures in amazing-land.

Apartment: Since the house will not be completed until November, Brian and I managed to secure a two-bedroom apartment just a short drive from his job.  Huzzah!  I have the address and will e-mail it to whoever, if you are interested.  We also have a PO box that we will be maintaining for several months, if not longer.

Discovering my inner interior designer: In preparation for picking out paint colors, carpet, blah, blah, blah, I've been busy picking up catalogs and magazines to gather ideas.  Brian and I had a lot of fun at Ikea on Sunday coming up with potential decor and styling.  Here's something I liked:



I'm also fascinated with the idea of green granite.  I think it would look awesome with dark cabinets and a warm-toned wall.

 Marathon: Some people have asked if I am still doing the marathon in Seattle due to our busy lives.  The answer is a definite yes.  I won't be breaking any world records, but I am intent on participating AND completing my first marathon on December 1.

The Secret Life of Margie the Beekeeper:  I have decided I want to get honey bees after we are moved into our new house.

Toodles!

  1. I swear, I had assumed that this blog would last for two posts and then would sink into the abyss of forgotten good ideas. I congratulate you on sticking with it thus far.
    As well, great updates. I hope all is working out well in your new apartment. Best of luck with your new construction!

  2. I feel like I should have some saucy advice about interior decorating for you. Something along the lines of "you want *those* shades and *those* countertops? Oh honey, please tell me you're joking." You know, to perpetuate stereotypes and what-have-you. I especially feel burdened on account of there aren't any gays in Texas, so you'll have to import one in order to sip mimosae and discuss window treatments.

    1. Jeff, I literally L.O.L.ed at this. And you're right about the gays in Texas. They are all hiding in closets or married to women hoping nobody finds out about their dirty little choice. Miss you!
