I got a couch!

I made my first real purchase for my house and I am loving it! The second I saw this couch I knew that if I it was comfortable when I sat in it, then it was going to be the couch for me. Sure enough I was sold on impact. My love seat won't be here for a couple of weeks, it had to be ordered. For now it is just my couch and love-sac, but I am so excited that everything is starting to come together!

First Dinner

I have finally eaten my first dinner in my new house! It is so nice to finally have all my things here and be getting close to being all settled in. I think I am really going to love it here. 

Thank you Aunt Allison for the toaster oven, I think it is going to become my new favorite appliance! I couldn't believe it could fit my 12 inch pizza.

Uruguay

Andrew made it to Uruguay safely! It was sooo exciting to get a recent picture of him. We were waiting up for a phone call from the airport but he wasn't able to make one. It feels like he has been gone forever and should be home anytime! He is only getting started though. This is going to be a long couple of years. His emails keep me going every week and he makes it really hard to ever have a bad Monday  He is looking great and loving it down there. I couldn't ask for anything more.

I love this picture of us. I miss his big cheesy grin!

Happy New Year!!!

I have a feeling that 2013 is going to be a great year. 2012 was never very promising, even from the beginning. I am determined to make this year a better one! I am making a fresh start for myself.

I rang in the New Year in my new house with my Mom and my Maggie. I really don't think there could have been a better way to start the year than with two of the people I love the most!

Happy New Year! May you have 12 months of happiness, 52 weeks of fun, 365 days of success, 8760 hours of good health, 52600 minutes of good luck, and 3153600 seconds of joy!!!
