Halloween is just around the corner! The little girl I take care of (she's 4 yrs. old) has been excited about her halloween costume this whole month. Guess who she wants to be?
The one and only Hannah Montana, of course...
It's a good thing she wants to be hannah montana and not Miley cyrus because we all know that those are two completely different people. It's an even better thing that she'll be looking a little more like the girl on the left and not the girl...I mean "young woman" one the right! PHEW!

the child -- and the wild things -- who live in all of us...
We saw Where the Wild Things Are last night. Oh how we loved it. I could go in depth about all the reasons it was wonderful but I think this critic sums up all of my feelings towards this story and movie:
"Its utter simplicity masks layers of complexity. Some will see it as a movie about nothing, when in fact it is a movie about everything."

It's so nice to be unpacked and settling into our new little home. After weeks of packing, Nathan getting sick, moving, me getting sick, unpacking, and family get togethers, we were finally able to enjoy a relaxing night at home. We had FHE and enjoyed our first home cooked meal in our new place prepared by yours truly. It's all fresh and from scratch. Yum.... Let's just say there was nothing left on anyone's plates.
my favorite part was 3 kinds of stretchy cheese seen in every bite ofthe mashed potatoes.
I'm so happy to have room to move around and make yummy meals for us. I love my kitchen. It's the main reason we chose our new place. there are so many little things that I love about it.
Tonight we are having Nathan's grandparents over for dinner. They are visiting from Clifornia. Whats on the menu? Fettucini Alfredo, roasted garlic chicken, breadsticks, and salad. I have my alfredo sauce mastered and am excited to share it with his gma and gpa.

We FINALLY heard back from the apartment we were interested in and are officially moving into our new home in a little over two weeks.
I am soooooo relieved to move out of our current apartment of 2 1/2 years. It may not seem that long but I have been counting down the days for our lease to be up for the last 11 months.
It's a little sad since this was my first place and then our first place, but we are excited to move on!
Now for the "white glove" cleaning of our current place.... ughhh.
I'll post pictures and details soon.
here are my top favorite things about our new place:
granite counter tops
garbage disposal in the sink
our own master bathroom
his and hers closets in master bathroom
internet and cable included
gated community so that my husband will sleep in peace.
much closer to Nathan's job
24 hr fitness room
year round hot tub

nerves.
There's the good kind because of something fun and exciting and then the not so good kind. you know, the "this is getting on my nerves..." kind.
I'm experiencing a little bit of both lately:
waiting to hear back from different apartments with openings because our lease is almost up so it's all about the timing. One we really liked- failed to mention we were second on a waiting list AFTER we toured the place, fell in love with it, and filled out the application.
packing for our move. I wanted to get a head start instead of doing it all in a couple days. Oh my word- can two people really have that much junk??? And by junk I dont mean in any way -insert sarcasm- Nathan's "memorabilia",papers from his first college semester, books, texbooks, and I can't possibly throw away an admission ticket to BYU-Idaho's Guitars unplugged from 2007. It could have sentimental value.
It's a good thing we have dumpsters outside. I love my pack-rat. uh hem...I mean my loving, caring, kind, hard-working husband.
nathan getting a new, great job promotion but a new, not so great paying period. Instead of getting paid every night, it's twice a month. It's been really fun switching all of our budgeting around that we've been used to for the last year and a half...not.
not being able to find my checkbook after looking EVERYWHERE and then finding where I had orignally left it and could have sworn i put it somewhere else.
having to manualy delete what seemed like 90 out of 100 random episodes on our dvr (aka TiVo) recording because the space was full and i could not figure out how to delete in bulk minus 5 or 6 shows.
our electric bill being the highest it has EVER been in the last 2+ years because we have a crappy air conditioner and I'll die if its too hot. It's almost October though- Thank God!!! (not in vain, no really, I am so thankful fall in winter are coming-my favorite time of the year).
Flies. Aren't they the most annoying thing in the world??? They are EVERYWHERE in our apartment. hmm...Maybe its the garbage, nope i threw it out. Maybe the diry plates- nope, I washed them. Maybe we stink?-nope, we showered.
For every two I kill with the fly swatter, twenty come in with every opening of our door. I even found a fly come out the the freezer this morning!
it's a good thing i have a nice temperment...I just thought i should document this because I ALMOST could have had a nervous breakdown like that one time when I was engaged and was on birth control for the first and ONLY time in my life and went a little bananas on two people. But lets not go there... Sorry LuLu and Nathan for having to experience my one and only crazy nervous melt down.

an answer to our tv show prayers...
We love Glee.
Especially when they do a cover of Jazmine Sullivan, one of my top under-appreciated artists of today.
anyone else loving Glee?
