Today I am linking up with Jena from Recently Roached. Little known fact... Jena and I are related.. through our sorority! She is one of my great grand littles. We also graduated with the same major - Professional Writing. Scroll down to the end of the post for an old school picture to prove our sisterhood!

I am turning into a homebody already. It used to be that I always wanted to go out, but now I just really want to stay home. People are more than welcome to come and hang out with us. I just don't want to leave my house if at all possible. Can you tell I am a bit excited to be a homeowner (again)?

That:
AT and T will be at our house later this afternoon, and we will finally have Internet and TV again. If I weren't a blogger, I might not miss the Internet as much as I do. There's only so much you can do from an iPhone and writing solid blog posts full of content is not something easily done.

This:
My husband and I are taking a vacation together in 2013. Just the two of us. We haven't had a real vacation just the two of us since our honeymoon in 2009. I'm looking forward to five days and four nights of hiking, eating overpriced breakfast, sleeping in, reading, and probably shopping. Branson, MO I can not wait to meet you for the first time!

That:
My house is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. The boxes may not be unpacked. I might not have any idea where my Keurig is. But the Christmas tree is up and our stockings are hung. Priorities, right?

This:
Today is my Friday. So thankful for the opportunity to take a day off and enjoy my new house. And unpack, of course.

That:
I'm getting a brand new washer and dryer delivered on Friday. That was one of the things I was most excited to purchase. Clean clothes are pretty important.

This:
No more shellac (or gel) manicures for this girl. While the polish lasts for two weeks, my bank account just doesn't have room for a mortgage payment, manicures, highlights, and new furniture. So I am getting rid of the manicures. It's back to chipped polish the majority of the time and painting my nails on my own!

That:
It's getting cold(er) here in Oklahoma. I haven't quite decided if I like the cold or not. Living in a brand new house makes the cold more bearable than living in an 80+ year old house. But it is still hard to get up and out of bed in the morning.

as promised.. we look a little young, don't you think?
