Well…things are still moving along with the house. Quite a few more boxes have been unpacked, and it’s really starting to look like a home. Jared was excited to bring his drums home from church this weekend…and he set them up right away. I sure hope our neighborhood likes drummers! (I know I do.)
The weekend was pretty normal. Friday night we went to the President’s Society Dinner here on campus. Since Jared works in Marketing, we got to go. Basically it’s a big evening dedicated to people who give oodles of money to the college. All night I kept wondering if they thought I gave oodles of money to the college. Either way, it was fun to get all fancied up for an evening out. Saturday we got up early and headed to the bank…well our new bank at least. We hated our bank because they always screw up the online transactions…and when you can’t get into the bank all day because you work and they close early…online banking is a necessity. So…we switched…and we’re quite happy now. Oh…I also got my hair cut on Saturday. Jim (my hair guy) blew a breaker while he was doing someone’s hair that day…and his electric chair thing wouldn’t work. So…like a little kid…I had to hop up on this booster seat so he could do my hair. It was hillarious…and I definitely felt a little bit like a kid again.
Sunday was pretty crazy. We got up and headed to church (which was great as always). We had a yummy lunch at Steak-n-Shake….yay for chili mac! We also looked around at a few furniture stores. (We’re shopping for a new dining room table and chairs….which my parents are getting us for Christmas.) We didn’t really find anything, which is ok, because my mom did…and it’s so pretty! Anyway…the excitement most definitely does not end there. Jared decided to let me get my birthday present a few weeks early this year. (He needed me to help pick it out.) His name is Maxwell (after Maxwell’s Silver Hammer…by the Beatles)….and he’s just about the cutest little thing ever! Oh yeah…he’s a kitten! He’s white with little orange splotches and he’s nuts. He’s a little spazzy right now (new home and all), but he’s also a cuddler. He fell asleep on my shoulder last night while we were watching tv…it was the cutest. I’ve never had a kitty before…so it’s exciting! He’s like our little baby or something.
Anyway, I need to get back to work. (Go figure.) When we get the chance…we’ll upload some pictures of the house and Maxwell. Adios!
