Updates

Michael has started doing a P90X ninety day challenge. He is sore. But, it's kind of entertaining to watch him... (obviously, I cannot do anything THAT intense).

Michael got a new job for the summer (the research lab he works for didn't have funding for him over the summer). It's nothing glamorous, but it's a job. He'll be cleaning apartments... woo! But, that means he'll be gone from 7:45-5. Yay for full time jobs.

Michael's parents are coming to visit for Women's conference week.

We have a smoke detector in our apartment that WILL NOT stop going off. We thought it was because the battery was dying, but we checked the battery and it's new. So, we think the actual smoke detector is dying. All of the other ones in our apartment are new... so yeah. It's annoying. It just happens to be the one IN OUR BEDROOM. I'm frustrated.

We still aren't completely moved out of our old apartment (we've kinda been slacking), but we will be done by Saturday (because our contract there ends on Monday). We've got LOTS of unpacking and organizing to do in the new apartment still. It's HARD to go from having no storage space/space at all to having TONS of it. We've got plenty of stuff to put places, but we're not used to having to decide where to put things! Or have options. Like our kitchen for instance, we have SO MANY cabinets AND a pantry! YIKES! So many decisions of where to put things! Craziness!

Our new apartment has done a really good job so far at staying cool, even on hot days. It's a basement, so that was our hope. Although, we will be getting a window unit air conditioner from our friends, so come summer when it is consistently hot all the time I won't die.

I'm getting my first ever passport! yay! That way, MAYBE if Michael's paperwork goes through by end of August, I can FINALLY get to see where he's from! If not, maybe we'll go up there sometime during the fall. Too bad Canada has a different Thanksgiving...

Anyway, we've got lots of work to do this weekend, but I'm so low on energy it's frustrating! I wish it were a little warmer and not so rainy... we had wanted to go camping this weekend. But, it's not looking too hopeful. =/

Our new camera is WONDERFUL! I love it. I haven't taken any pictures of anything much yet, but soon! I'll have to take pictures of our old apartment and our new one... it'll be fun to really compare them.

Michael and I finally have food in our fridge! (okay, that sounds bad...) The fridge in our old apartment didn't work so well, and we were at Joe and Tina's so much, that we basically had to do dinner and nothing else/we would use their fridge. So, we had a bunch of frozen meat in the freezer, and that's what we would use to eat! But now, we've got fruits and veggies and all this other good stuff in our fridge! We went shopping yesterday to hit all the sweet deals on the first day! We got 93% lean beef for 1.98 a pound! Talk about AWESOME! And tomorrow there is chicken breast for 1.29 a lb. So, we'll probably get some of that too, although, we've still got some chicken in the freezer. But yeah. And strawberries were super duper cheap!
Although, we did splurge a little bit and got some really yummy milk (it's Michael's favorite... its as close a taste to right from a cow as you can get apparently... can you tell he's sorta kinda a farm boy?). Anyway, we're VERY excited to have a working fridge! Now we can actually make enough food to have left overs instead of trying to plan exactly how much we need.

Anyway, this is all super boring. So I'm sorry if anyone actually read this!
