Imac-izzle!

So imagine my surprise when I return home from a hard days work to find my brand new computer patiently waiting for me. I was so surprised! I didn't expect it to be here until Tuesday... but there it was as beautiful as I imagined. :) Love.


It also didn't hurt that it came with a sweet, free Canon all in one printer. :) Yay!

P.S. I'm supposed to be packing right now... but i can't tear myself away. Brandon is upstairs slaving away, packing and moving boxes. All that work has to make him feel manly right?

New apartment tomorrow!! What an exciting month it has been!

Happy Monthiversary to us!

Today is Brandon's and my one monthiversary. We went to BJ's to celebrate. I guess we do most of our celebrating there. We had a DELICIOUS pazookie :).
Oh...and after dinner we went to Target because we needed to pick up some stuff and while we were browsing around I had a thought. I suggested aloud that we should go check out the shoe section because I desperately needed a pair of work shoes. Brandon lovingly agreed and onward we went. And guess what?? I walked out with not one but FIVE pairs. Yes...five. They are having some shoe clearance extravaganza. I only spent $40. That was about how much i would have spent on one pair of work shoes. Brilliant!

Paradise

Brandon and I got back from the Bahamas on Saturday afternoon. We were there for about6 days. It was beautiful. It was their winter season so it was about 75 degrees everyday and the ocean was a little cold but that didn't stop us from getting in our bathing suits and jumping in! We did so many fun things while we were there. We rented a scooter and drove around, we went parasailing which was awesome!, and we also took a jet ski tour around the island and stopped at a little spot where a part of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 was filmed. Brandon and I found various sea creatures during our excursions. We found a starfish, a stingray, an eel, a teeeeny tiny crab, some hermit crabs.





The staff on the island weren't very friendly. In fact the only people that were friendly were the tourists. There weren't that many people at the resort where we stayed, so we pretty much got the beach to ourselves. It was like we were on our own little deserted piece of the island.



Brandon and I had a lot of fun. It was great to be in warm weather this time of year and to be technically out of the country for the first time :)...even if it was only by 100 miles. By the end of the trip we were ready to come home. We missed having everything close to us and we especially missed our computers :) How sad haha...but true. We didn't realize how cold it had gotten here while we were away so when I came back in a tee shirt I froze on the walk out to the car. We had a really great time but we missed everyone and we are glad to be back.

Hello 2008!


Happy New Year everybody! And by everybody I mean the 3 people that read this post besides myself :D I could tell you what we did on New Years but pretty much everybody that reads this blog was there. So i'll recap... Rock band all night, sparkling cider, broken glass, bandaids. :D It was a good one.



Its been two weeks since the wedding and things are going great! Our honeymoon is next Sunday..exactly one week from today. We're going to the Bahamas. I am so excited! I've never been anywhere like that. We're going to have so much fun :D. And we are also so thrilled that we have found an apartment! We're moving in on the 26th of this month . It's the weekend after we get back. There's so much fun stuff this month! Kristi had her baby.. Bryce on the 3rd. He's cute and he has a full head of dark dark hair and he makes this humming noise :D so so cute.

We haven't been up to much except trying to get all our stuff ready for the move and buy everything we don't have that we'll need which is...well everything. There's this Papasan chair from Pier 1 that we're going to get for our movie room. It's super comfy and it's red..which is one of my favorite colors :D We aren't going to have a lot of color in our apartment because we've been partial to the neutrals in all of our choices so far but we really like the red chair so our movie room will be colorful :D.

Oh well we'll probably only have the basics when we move in and then start picking up everything else when we're better familiar with the apartment. But all you readers out there are invited to come over and hang out with us in our new place!! :D

Oh and as for the cute comic at the beginning of this post...I had to add it because I found it a while ago and I just felt that it reminded me of all the short trips Brandon and I made to see each other and how we hung on to every second til we had to go home...and now that we're at home together we can look back and really appreciate our time together. There are a bunch more of these comics online at www.xkcd.com.
