Startle me.

So Rain/snow/rain/Sun Tuesday blended right into rain ALL day Wednesday. So yesterday I spent my time walking back and forth in the rain. With loads of my belongings. Interrupted by a rather HUGE load of my sister/brother-in law's belongings. Which has overtaken my previously empty living room. As we settle more things into our apartment everyday It's nice to feel more at home. Safer. Isn't it funny how belongings make us feel better?

It's been an interesting few days living in between. We're slowly fixing that and really getting settled. But it'll be a little while until I can get used to the new house's sounds.

Rainy Days and Mondays....

Well it's not Monday, but it is rather rainy...
I like the rain. I like that it's keeping the weather cool.
I dislike that it's much harder to move things and keep them dry.
Rain... Please stop by the end of the work day.
Sincerely, Me
P.S. You really can't rain tomorrow. I have to move a bed... and other furniture. I really don't want to get my mattress soaked.

In other news, the grass is looking fantastic.

*Update: I turned around and it was snowing HUGE fat white SNOWFLAKES... I mean seriously? It did this for maybe an hour and then proceeded to clear up into a beautiful blue sky. 
Utah.

The last time it'll be clean.

This is proof that once upon a time this apartment was clean. Because we hadn't moved in yet. It'll never be this clean again. So without further ado... some snapshots. 

So here's the living room with a glimpse of the awesome stained glass window. There on the left you can see Peter heading into the galley kitchen.

 

The kitchen as you can see leads through to a multipurpose/mud room. It's going to be an extension of our kitchen most likely.  And through that room you can go out onto our awesome deck. With a bbq. Okay. Then you can turn around and head downstairs...

 The first bedroom/eventually nursery/kid's room, the "master" bedroom and then Peter's office...

 And of course the view from the street.

 If only we could actually afford a house... but this will satiate my need for a house for a little while longer until we've saved up what we need.

It's my birthday...

Tomorrow. I'm turning older tomorrow. So I'm not going to be at work. I'm going to have a lazy day hopefully filled with a tidy house(maybe), not worrying about it regardless... food, sleep, friends, and family. And did I mention food?
Oh yes.

Repotting

Like my husband and I, my herbs were growing out of their little pots. Or more accurately I was too impatient to wait for them any longer and I wanted to re-pot them. So Monday I moved my little herbs to a new home.

As I've never done this before and I only had one pot, I'm not really sure if it's okay to put them all together.
I suppose it'll have to be okay unless I want to repot them again. I was worried a little about killing them, but two days later they're still green and upright. So I'm hoping they make it!!

The other pot of mint is getting quite tall as well. I'm going to have to start making mint limeade as soon as it gets warm. Anyone know just how big/much a mint plant will spread? I'm just a little curious.

Moving on up...

It's true. I'm moving. One whole block. I'm super excited though, because we're effectively doubling our space. It's another lovely subdivided house, but this one has lots of perks.
Like a deck with a barbeque. A huge hardwood floor living room. A mud room (yes please!!). Enough bedrooms for us to have an office and a guest bedroom...
But my absolute favorite: A washer and dryer.

The kitchen is a tiny galley kitchen, but I don't mind because it has a window... There's plenty of light on the main floor, which I love. And the basement is perfectly suited to Peter's work habits.

I'm rather disappointed that Em won't really be around to help us break in the house, as she's moving home to "The Midwest". I'll have to do lots of projects and be really social to make up for no more Bones/no more Em.  I'll have to rename the blog too. :( I'm sure we'll figure it out. But first, I'll need a new clever name...

Or I could just watch Firefly again. And decorate my new house. And miss Em.

I promise pictures of the house by next week though.

Plans

I am a big planner. But.. and this is a big one: I am NOT a good waiter... I'm really bad at waiting I mean.

Anyway, I've been looking for an apartment for us to move into. A bigger one. Mostly because well, we need room to grow. Also we need a real office space and a real living room. One that's not dominated by my sister's bed and the TV. Preferably one without a TV. I'm talking about a place to have babies and grow our family. And guess what: I'm really hoping I found it. Just a block away from where we are right now. And 3 bedrooms. Woot. Hopefully we can go check it out tomorrow and work all the details out. I really hope that it's as good as it sounds. Because I'd love to stay in our ward. I'd love to stay on this bus line. Things work out the way they're supposed to.. right? Well then let's hope this is supposed to happen.
