So, it's been a long time since my last post! It seems like not much has happened (and in some ways that's true) but it also seems like there have been tons of changes and decisions going on in the background. But first, the most exciting announcement: WE'RE ALMOST READY TO START!! Our lot ... View Post
120 months and some good news!
So, as of the last few hours, Steve and I have been "officially" together for 10 years! I'm still don't quite remember the time, so it's possible that he may have actually asked me out in the early morning on March 28th, but we've always gone with March 27th, 2003 as our official "anniversary".

Only took 2 years to get some measurable snow!
It finally happened! After the "Snowmageddons" and "Snowpocalypses" of 2009 and 2010 we had pathetic snow the following two years.

A housing history…
Steve and I have had quite an interesting few years of housing situations. Since we are just MONTHS away from owning our very first home I thought I'd give a brief rundown of our previous living arrangements! Of course, when we met, we were still both living on campus at college. (Yes, I do have ... View Post
Backyard gardening plans…
So, I posted about the front yard awhile ago but forgot about the back yard. I am mostly aiming for cool colors in the back. Anyway, most of this is still just brainstorming but here's my list of desirable plants: Paperwhites, crocuses, and grape hyacinth planted around the tree trunks Weeping ... View Post
