So, what's happened the past few months?? ... Well we moved into our house and have attempted to get everything put together for an open house. Yeah we've been pretty slow at getting it all put together, but it'll happen one day. I think we only have closet doors left to paint and blinds to put up, and of course the tedious job of cleaning everything so it looks nice for visitors. I find myself spending more time working on the backyard than the inside of the house. Although I'm pretty sure the backyard doesn't look like much has been done. Next year I'll have my work cut out for me literally destroying "Old Man Winter's" previous yard doings. Yeah that's what we've decided to call the previous owner. His name was Guy, which is a wretched name for a male if you ask me, and he passed away in his old age. We've found more than enough of his "handiwork" around this place. He clearly was a do-it-yourself kind of guy but also must've lacked the ability or knowledge to Google how to actually do these projects. I cannot tell you how many times we've stood back and said "what was he thinking?!" Of course we can never come up with a valid answer, other than he must've lost a lot of screws (or marbles) while trying to better this place. Oh yes, we will be having a house warming party, possibly sometime in August, pending on Dan's travel schedule. Look for announcements and send me your address if you want to come. I'm making the announcements by myself, which is a tad bit ridiculous since my creativity is in the negative zone. I do not scrapbook, nor do I ever plan on doing such, so why I chose to hand make these invites is beyond me.

The ferrets love their new room! Yeah that's right, you knew I was going to talk about them somewhere in here. They have a whole room to themselves and it is far bigger than their last room. However they are ferrets and no matter how much space you give them, they want more. They are desperate to get out of their room, and we typically let them roam the whole house on a daily basis. Recently that came to an end since Ferrah decided she would weasel (yeah pun intended) her way into our heating vent in the up stairs bathroom. None the less that was a very frightening experience and I choose to avoid another such instance. They've enjoyed meeting the neighbors and love having long grass to roam in that doesn't contain dog poop like that of the old apartment complex.

We also decided the IRS is not that bad of an entity. Not only did they pay off what my husband owed in taxes but they wrote us a check for $6000, all because we bought a house! It's not like we wanted to stay in that crappy apartment with shabby management for a whole lot longer anyways. The first time homebuyers return was just an extra push for me to get my anxiety ridden butt into gear and get out of that place. We pay no more than we did in rent or utilities, yet we have more space and a room more conducive to our fur kids. Yeah they're never going away. If you don't like them than you are one unfortunate person and there is the door. I cannot imagine my life without them, nor am I willing to try such a life. Them fuzzy butts are here to stay, forever!!

Yesterday was my 22 birthday. Yay me! I love birthdays but it seems like very few people agree with me. My cute little cousin and aunt called me to sing happy birthday to me. Which was one of the highlights of my day. I also got an iPhone 4 and may be going on a shopping trip with my husband. My wonderful mommy got me a sewing machine!! Yeah this may sound a bit weird but I'm so excited, she probably is too. She used to try and give me sewing lessons since she is a master seamstress but I never thought sewing would come in handy. They have these new crazy things called stores that sell clothes, so its not like I need to make my own. However these little furry children of mine have made me want to sew! They love fleece sleep sacks, hammocks, and cage bedding. Up until now I've purchased all this stuff from others but it is getting a tad bit expensive and often times it isn't exactly what I was looking for. I found that for less than $25 I could make them a whole cage lining set, but I didn't have a sewing machine or the sewing skills. Sure I've made pillowcases and pajama pants but a whole cage set? I will start out small, with things like sleep sacks, then work up to the pan and shelf liners. How hard can it be? Fortunately ferrets do not care if I make a straight line or not; which is good since I doubt I will make many of them. Also no one will be evaluating my ferret bedding sets to make sure they were properly put together. Thanks mom for the sewing machine!!! I can't wait to make things for my four legged babies and maybe one day I can make other great things. Yeah that's right guys and gals, I've turned into quite the domesticated wife.

Well, wasn't that a long post? What can I say, I had a lot to get off my chest apparently. Plus I figure the longer it is the more time I have until you all require another post. Ha! See, I have my manipulative ways! Mwah ah ahah!!
