Lately...

Tada! Open Concept.

Recently things have changed. I started my new job (yay!) but for the month of March I'm only getting 10 hours a week (boo!). So I started working full time at the store (yay!) but that means I'm working all the time (boo!). And now Chris is supplying pretty much every day (yay!) but he takes the computer with him to school so I can't blog (boo!). So I haven't blogged in a while. So for the next month things will be  sporadic at best. But we're great. We're both getting work which is fantastic. And slowly but surely we're working on the house. Chris knocked out the wall between the kitchen and the living room while I was a work the other week. Crazy. Things are starting to happen!  

Happy Friday People!

Giving Uggs the Boot

Things are finally starting to warm up. Yay! That means sun, that means less layers, that means we're saving on our gas bill, that means cute clothes, and spring. It also means that the snow is going to melt and there is going to be slush, dirty, sand ridden slush everywhere. Uggs are not good boots for slush. They're great for really cold winter days. They're great for keeping your feet comfy. But they are not water proof, nor are they slush proof. I also have the ones that button up on the sides so stuff gets in through there, and their only mid height so I'm constantly getting snow in my boots. Not cool when you have to walk to work every day. So I need new boots. I also need dress pants but thats a different story. I'm debating between two.

Hunters
- they are completely waterproof
- they are super cute
- you can warm them up with huge socks
- they go nicely with dresses
- they are super heavy duty and long lasting
- multi season boots

Sorels
- they are super heavy duty
- they're cute in a girl meets lumberjack kind of way
- they're warm
- they're waterproof on the bottom
- they will last forever
- they might get a little hot in the spring

Which ones?

Resolutions Update

Back in the beginning of January I was feeling a little over confident and made some new years resolutions. And then I made an even sillier decision, I decided to update you guys every month or two.  Well here is my progress (or lack there of) so far. But I'm encouraged by the small amount of progress I have made and I'm inspired to keep working towards fulfilling them.

1. Read my bible every day. That hasn't happened. Sad face. I've read it more often then before and I've read it in more detail. So we're getting somewhere.

2. Clean my house at least once a week. Ha! But in all seriousness I've been pretty good thus far, NOT PERFECT, but pretty good.

3. Wash my makeup off every night. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

4. Read 12 books this year. I'm still ploughing through Anna Karenina. I'll call you hen I resurface.

5. Walk to work at least once a week. Nailing it! Except for that time that Timmins froze over for a while and it was physically impossible to walk to work without freezing to death. But I have been waling to and from work. Plus I have to walk to work with my new job because there is no parking. 

Dreaming of Warmer Times

It was cold. Again. Today. I'm crying my eyes out. Not really, I'm just freezing my legs off. Thats for real. Anyways, because it's been so cold I've been day dreaming about summer and warmer times. One day it will be warm again. Won't it? SEND ME BACK TO MEXICO!!!!!!!!!

Conviction at it's Finest. Ouch.

Conviction makes me want to Ostrich it up and bury my head in the sand

We're currently doing the Crazy Love study with the Baptist Church C&C group. So far its been good. The book is hard hitting and direct. This week's chapter blew me out of the water. It was all about Lukewarm Christianity and it left me feeling very convicted. Me thinks I need to pray about this and see where God takes me.

This and That (but mostly cats)

These pictures scream we don't have kids.
