All Moved In!!

Well, On Wednesday, Jason & I rushed around trying to get things ready to be signed to close on time, on Friday. It was crazy, but everything worked out. We technically had the keys on Friday night and moved in on Saturday. We finished picking everything last minute small things on Sunday. We are no longer apartment people. We are home owners! Here are just a few pictures from around the house. I didn't include the bedrooms (because everyone has seem a bedroom).

The living room

Little nook area (off the living room).

Dining room.

Kitchen

Backyard. We don't have any neighbors behind us, that's a small, quiet park.

View of the house from the backyard.

I'm taking some time off of work to get un-packed and organized. I will start running and hitting up the gym next week, I just need to try to get organized, before I can start to get back into my routine.


How has everyone been? I haven't caught up on your posts, but I will be back at it next week, as well.

The Red Nosed Runner

Yesterday, I went for a great, but freezing (for Cali) 3 mile run. It felt wonderful to let my legs run free outside. My lunges need to catch up with my body. I need to re-train them again. My body wanted to go further and faster, but my lunges were left in the dust trying to crawl to catch up.

I also had gloves and a jacket when I ran. I forgot to take a picture until after I started to warm up in the house.

Speaking of house, we're still waiting to hear for sure, but we've already starting packing. I'm on a count down. We have 24 days (hopefully) until we move. We're shooting for the 27th (the other date we have is Jan. 6th).

I can't wait to read all of the recaps from Vegas and I hope everyone is having a great time!! Maybe next year, I'll join everyone!

I'm Back in Action (with a House)!

Today was the first day that sweat had dripped from my tired body in about 2 weeks!! I'm so happy to be back. I went to the gym for a moderate 4 mile run. It felt great!!

So, to catch you up with my life, this is how I've been keeping myself busy since my last post (on the 16th, wow!!) and some big news: We're buying a house!! So, we're trying to come up with some money, so we've had a moving sale (aka garage sale) at my parents house. It was pretty darn cold outside that morning! We did so much better than I expected.

We went furniture shopping. This isn't our style, it was fun sitting in it. This store was way too gaudy for us!

I've been making lots of messes in the kitchen (I was making waffles here). It's been fun and filling my belly, though.

I've been hanging out at home with loved ones (here's my Scoutie).

So, we don't have to keys to the house, yet, but we should be moving some time around Christmas. This will be our first house. If you feel caring and would like to donate to the Shelly & Jason moving fund, let me know and I'll email you my Paypal account for donations (I'm kidding if you don't want to donate, but serious if you do). I've been trying to keep up with every ones posts and will soon.

I hope everyone had a great turkey day!! What did you do? We went to my parents and had dinner and visited with family.
