I moved...

So I moved! The other blog just wasn't..Me. This one, I can change the color and the layout and anything else I want. Besides, our journey on the Oregon Trail is over so caulking the wagon is no longer appropriate and Kevin never writes in it anyway. So I moved to make my blog more...Me! If you are curious about our trip and haven't read about it before you can certainly go here and catch up.

We have been in Logan for two weeks now. I already like it better than I ever liked Gainesville. Ask me again when there is ten feet of snow on the ground and I may feel different but as of now it is way better. I still haven't gotten used to buying in bulk, although I have allowed myself to buy a few giant boxes of food for our new pantry. It is still a bit overwhelming to navigate through 10 pounds of cornmeal to find the box of Jiffy mix but I am getting used to it. I had to go to two stores to find fresh baked hamburger rolls in bags of 8 and not 20. Seriously, 20 hamburger rolls- but I guess if you have a family of 10 it is only two meals. The 8 rolls will go bad before Kevin and I finish them. You can read more about Adventures in Food Shopping here if you so desire.

We have already completed a couple of projects. Some went well, some ended with me covered in plumbing putty. I will have pictures of all eventually. Right now I am trying to decide what colors to put where and how I will justify spending way too much money on Pottery Barn Furniture- right now all I have is that it is so pretty. Kevin wants it too so its all good but it is hard going from buying particle board to buying real furniture that will hopefully last through more than 3 years of life.

Another change I made here is that you don't have to have a gmail account to leave a comment- anyone can. I also got a new cell phone number. The one from MA was a bit played out. If you want the new one you have to ask because I am not putting it on the internets for all the world to telemarket me from.

Other than that, I got nothing. The bathrooms are slowly coming together but the other rooms still need some help. Once my shower curtain gets here, both bathrooms will be completely done which just leaves me with the rest of the house. At least people will be able to use the facilities in pretty rooms!!!
