Figured it out!

Ok, so even though my stupid computer's USB drive doesn't seem to work... I figured out a way to take pics... using my computer's built-in camera. So, the quality isn't so hot, but it gives an idea, at least.... Sorry about the remainder of the move-in mess that you see...

So. Not much new here, just living in a new place. THANK GOD. I'm waiting until we get our deposit back (or in all actuality, not getting our deposit back) before I speak too much about our old apartment, or place my comments on apartmentratings.com.

I would totally load pictures for you all to see what all went on with the whole moving deal, but.... Shaun's pc is no longer hooked up to the internet due to our new floor plan, and my laptop's USB drive seems to not be working... grr.

We LOVE the new place, we're pretty sure that we'll be living here for a couple of years, saving up a down payment for a house... someday... We've got a HUGE kitchen now with an island, and two bedrooms, a bigger bathroom, and our living room has a fireplace. NICE! That'll be on all winter... since heat is included in rent and the fireplace runs off of that. We have a walk in closet now as well. It's nice to have more room in there.

Still working, it's pretty stressful at times. There's a lot of little things that can go wrong, and it's hard to keep everything straight. I'm shedding hair like crazy between the stress of work and life and everything else. I'm worried I'm going to be bald soon!! Haha.

Andrea and I got to hang out (finally!) last Friday, she came over to see our new place and then we went to dinner and then went to Applebee's for a mucho mudslide. Made me think that I was back in Menomonie! It was great hanging out with a friend again. It's been mostly only Shaun and I together and it was a pleasant change. :) This weekend we're going to head up to H-town for a day, and spend some time with the 'rents. It sounds like Shaun has Tyler talked into driving down here and then hauling his car up to Isanti, where Rob has been kind enough to allow Shaun to park his car and have the Subaru tech guys go there to fix it the following weekend. So HOPEFULLY that'll allow it to get out of our hair soon! Speaking of, I had to renew my driver's license. Yeuck. I don't know why I couldn't have kept my old one. It was a really good picture of me. Drat. Oh, well.

And in closing, I want to wish Jennifer congrats on all of the wonderful things that have happened to her lately! :D

Hello, Friends

Once again, I have been remiss in staying in contact with you all and keeping up to date on my blogger. I've had to be careful about when I call people due to a huge (expensive) overage the other month and now I can really only call people after 9pm or on weekends (unless you're on Verizon, then I can talk anytime :D )

Three weekends ago we went to see Pat McCurdy with Andrea and Brandon (who was in town that weekend) and their friends Shane and Susanne. It was a good time, but due to the venue it was difficult to have a whole lot of conversation. But that's alright. Overall, Pat put on a really good show. We were disappointed that he didn't sing the Paddy song because Shane and Susanne were 'Pat Virgins' but that's ok. He DID get pretty drunk, though - drunker than I've seen him get - he even forgot some lines of a song. Shocking! Afterwards, we drove the other four to their cars because the light rail stopped running at one. Which is stupid since bar time is 2, but I guess perhaps they're trying to get all of the drunkards out of downtown earlier?

Two weekends ago not much happened. Shaun went to P-town and then to Milwaukee to watch the Bush NASCAR race with his Uncle, cousin and dad. I met up with mom in Lino Lakes and we did a little shopping. Other than that, I did nothing all weekend.

Last weekend we did nothing. I have a cold and it managed to strike me miserable over the weekend which is nice, but it was also annoying at the same time. We don't have a whole lot of dinero so it kept us from spending what we don't have. :)

Today is the 4th, and we're packing. Sunday night we got the word that our new apartment was ready for us as of Monday night. So we're going to go get the keys Friday night and start moving little stuff this weekend, and my Dad is coming down Sunday to help us move the larger things. We're hoping to get that done in the morning so that we're not all sweating to death. It's supposed to be like, 98 degrees on Saturday with 89% humidity which means DEATH (or at least feeling like it's almost preferable...). Andrea, if you read this, feel like going to H-town Saturday night for the carnival? Haha. Let me know, I don't have anything better to do.
