We moved!

Paul and I have decided that now that we're making more money and have a baby on the way, we want to buy a house. We're super excited! In order to save enough for the down payment, though, we decided to move into Paul's parents' house for a few months. They are so kind to let us move in with them for awhile! So far it's been fun. And a lot of work (okay, the moving part doesn't actually qualify as "fun"). But ya, we're pretty excited and we spend lots of time scouring home ads. Paul's brother-in-law is a home loan officer and has been lots of help already! Apparently this is a great year to buy a house.
Also, last weekend we went up to the cabin in Island Park and had a blast! I love snowmobiling, and eating, and family, and kids, so all together it was a GREAT time! Well, I guess that's it for now! We'll keep ya posted!

Our (sort of...) 6 Month Anniversary!

Okay, so Paul and I don't even technically HAVE a 6 month anniversary. We were married on August 30th, which means our 6 month anniversary would come on February 30th. Obviously a problem. So, we decided to go ahead and pretend it was our anniversary on March 2nd. However, we were pretty busy that day, so we didn't actually celebrate 'til the 3rd. It was really fun though! We went to Jack in the Box for lunch (classy, right?) and I ate curly fries to my heart's content. Then we went to D.I. and finally bought ourselves a VCR! We have a DVD player and most of our movies are DVD's, but some of my favorites we only have on VHS (like While You Were Sleeping, You've Got Mail, and Return to Me...classics!!). So we spent 10 dollars on a wonderfully-working VCR and then bought 10 movies at D.I.! The movies were only 2 bucks each, and there were lots of good ones like It's a Wonderful Life, Field of Dreams, and Back to the Future. It was a very exciting shopping spree! Then we came home so I could teach piano. After that, we went to dinner. Paul had received a gift certificate for 25 dollars at Canyon Crest, which we had saved for that night. We had never gone before, and it was WONDERFUL!! Lots of really good food and definitely the fanciest place I've ever eaten = wonderful. Then we came home and watched Return to Me. It was the perfect pretend anniversary!! I love you, Paul!
