Homeowners!

Ok! So I have a great excuse to not have my blog updated recently. We've been trying to get this house to go through and FINALLY it has happened! We are legal homeowners! YEAH!!! We're a bit excited, can you tell? The moving process is going a bit slower than I like only because with school and work there isn't a whole lot of time to actually move the stuff :) But none the less we're getting it done.

Tomorrow I'm going to move some more boxes up to the house and clean clean clean before I head to work. Joe's getting back late tonight (still not home yet so I get to blog :D ) from Parker, AZ with our couches and whatnot. Next weekend we're going to take a trip to Utah to pick up the stuff I have sitting in mom and dad's shop (which I know they'll be ecstatic about), and hopefully while we're there we'll see some family and friends.

So I have promised to take pictures of the place once we're moved in...and I will, but give me time, this is looking like its going to be a slow process. We'll I'm out for now...we'll keep you updated on the process. :)

Books Books Books

I have been reading this series of books by Charlaine Harris called the Sookie Stackhouse novels. I love them. They are so addicting. (but for those thinking about picking up these novels, they're quite graphic, so be warned) Anyways, there are 8 books out so far, and I've finished them all. The next book doesn't come out til May. MAY?!? That's too far away! So I've picked up random books here and there waiting til May. A friend did suggest another series that seems pretty good so far that should keep me busy til then. So off I go to read my book...

A topic for another day...Movies my other huge obsession!


Crafty Lucy...or not so much...

I want to do crafts. Thing is..I'm really not a very crafty person. So I'm open to ideas and suggestions. I have pictures that I'd like to put in some sort of program and onto disks. I'm not huge on actual scrapbooking. I tried to, but I just don't have good ideas. I'd like to make soaps and lotions, but don't really have the room at the moment, but hope to change that in the near future. So if you have an recipes..I'd love to have some. I'd like to lear to crochet and knit...but don't have a whole lot of time. I will eventually learn how to do this. I like to sew and plan on sewing more often once I have an area to set up my sewing machine. I love decorating, but don't really have anything to decorate. I'd like to make cards to send to people, but don't have ideas. So...pretty much...eventually I'd love to do lots of crafts. Oh and cooking! I love to cook. So if you have any ideas or recipes or anything that has anything to do with any crafts that I mentioned (and would like to share them) feel free :)

So...

So...I've noticed that whenever I go to post a new blog I always want to start off with the word "so" and that bothers me. I intentionally have gone back and erased that word and started the sentence with a different word. :) Yeah...anyway.
I'm becoming quite impatient with the house situation. They say its so close and we will most likely close early to mid march. Why not now??? :) I know, I know...but I just want to get moving and decorating everything. I have a few plans, but I will have even better plans once I can stand there and contemplate what would look good where and what else I can do...It's just frustrating waiting.
Well, I'm gonna get back to watching the UFC fight...I'll post agin later :)

Venting, rambling and my day...

I'm not tired, but I should go to bed considering I need to be up early to go to work. Oh well. On top of not being tired, I'm bored. That happens quite a bit. Oh believe me, I have plenty to do, they're just not the fun things to do. So I'll tell you about my day. I got up, did the breakfast thing, then played with raw meat. We feed our dog the BARF diet or Bones And Raw Food diet, hence the playing with raw meat. I buy the meat in bulk and have to split it up into smaller portions (sometimes having to cut it up) then freeze it. After I did that then I got ready and went to the Arabian Horse show out here. Joe's family is very involved in that out here. Well, we went a year ago to the horse show and took Zahkar with us..he was so little, below my knee. We took him this year and he had a blast. He loves the attention and likes watching the horses and meeting other dogs. But, everyone has to stop and ask me what kind of dog is he..and then there's the ones who just know that he's a certain breed (wrong) or that he's a mix (wrong again). Oh but they are very sure of themselves. Oh well. So it's just kind of annoying having to say he's a this...they look at you funny and say "say that again" or "what kind?" then explaining its a Russian breed, and its not common..blah blah....and this happens every other step. I feel like wearing a sign with all the info already written on it, or printing up flyers and handing them out as I walk.
-Over that-
We got home, and Joe left to work on a friends truck. I played with Zahkar a bit, took a nap and then made some dinner. Watched a few shows during all of this, and now I'm here. Joe is asleep and Tommy is IM'ing me and trying to see if his webcam is working on his new computer. Fun and exciting day huh? :) Ok..I'm done now.

AZ for a few more years?

Well it looks like we may just stay here after all. Key word being may :) So the bank got back to us and has accepted the offer on the house that we were looking at out here. That would be awesome, I love this house. So we're just trying to get all the paperwork/inspections/everything else done so we can make this work. Life is a mystery..things happen and we're just rollin' with the punches.
Wish us luck!

So, lets see...new in my life...

I was told I need to update my blog more often, so here goes.
Joe and I are in the process of trying to figure out where we are going to be in the next...week...month... I'm currently in school and will be done this semester in May. Wherever Joe finds a job is where we will go. We've looked at Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, California, Utah, North Dakota, and even Alaska (no offers there though). So we're just living day by day seeing where life will take us. In the meantime, we're keeping busy with life in general.

So if you know of any amazing job opportunities, let us know..we may come live by you :)
