new house, new house, new house!

I've been so bored ever since we got to Nebraska... so you would think that I would've updated this by now. wrong. I don't feel like I have anything interesting to say, and before now I probably didn't, but now I do! We've been living in this bunk ass hotel (with the babies) for 3 weeks and it's beginning to get the best of me. We only have to stay here for 3 more nights and then we get to move into our new house! :D FINALLY. It's very small, but quaint. The best part? It has a basement. Basements interest me because in Texas we have attics. That you store shit in. And cannot live in. Basements > Attics. On the main floor there is the living room, a small bedroom, and the kitchen. In the basement is the master bedroom, washer & dryer, and the bathroom. The house was built in the 1900's, but our landlord, Marilyn, just re-did the whole thing and it's fucking awesome. She painted everything and put all new cabinetry and appliances in the kitchen, new tile and carpet, and even a new shower and toilet. SCORE.

Last night, we went and picked out our furniture and bed to be delivered on Tuesday. I cannot wait.

Adjusting to the snow has been a trip. At first I was so unbelievably cold all of the time, but now my body has adapted well and it's not so bad. It's still really strange though... scraping ice and snow off my windshield, wearing layers and layers of clothing all the time, knowing that when we move into the house we will have to shovel snow. WEIRD. I wasn't aware that you are required to shovel the snow off your sidewalk and driveway or else you will get a citation. WTF?! bunk.

My car was actually snowed in one day here.

It was stupid.

I'm getting fucking distracted my the Redi Set Go infomercial. FUCK.

whatevs.

Things are starting to come together, like they always do. We get discouraged sometimes because things take longer than we expected, but J and I always pull through.
