Home Sweet Home (4 months later)

So...Dan and I have lived in our "new" place for almost 4 months. And after many promises to post pictures...I have recorded a walking tour. Of course, I waited until we cleaned for Dan's birthday party. Note we did get some new stuff this weekend at IKEA, so I will have to post new pictures, once everything is situated. W finally got a washer and dryer, so no more lugging laundry around and most importantly no PAYING to do laundry anymore. Here is one of the ottomans we got to extend our couch, so we both can lay down. Also I am not sure how good the video of the tour is...I tried!!


We had a great JANUARY! My birthday, my best friends came from Chicago on a surprise visit, Dan's Birthday, and a lot of Karaoke =].


My knitting habit/obsession as taken off. I love it and so far I have made two scarves. As you can see below, mu first scarf was the green one. Dan says it is very rustic...but I have improved a lot (as you can see in the purplish one).


The video would not upload...I will try again tomorrow!

Happy New Year!
Last night I actually had a great time, not that I was doubting I would, but I have never really liked New Years. Mostly because it is right before my birthday and everyone always was partied out and didn't feel like doing anything on the 3rd. Anyway, we went to a friends house and hung out with good friends and rung in a Happy New Year. I also slept in in past 1 this afternoon, because when we went to bed I realized I had been up for 21 hours...


We had a great time in Iowa for Christmas, catching up and visiting with our families. I think I gained about 15 pounds from all the food I inhaled! We were both sad to have to come back to Ohio, maybe someday we will be closer to home.


Here are my goals for 2010! Dan can blog about his later...
1. start working out again, and to acquire a treadmill
2. become more crafty (like sewing and making stuff)
3. master knitting, stamping and making my own stationary
4. to cut down on my sugar intake
5. read more books
6. keep in better contact with friends and family
7. limit my screen time (tv, computer, etc.)
8. purchase a washing machine and dryer
9. visit/explore other parts of Ohio
10. blog more =]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
