Bout time!

Well. I haven't posted in forever. I thought, hey maybe I'll write blog ideas in my notebook and type them later. Oh, better yet I'll set up the computer and type them then copy/paste when the internet is hooked up. As you can well imagine, neither happened. Internet finally got hooked up today and I have so many updates to read I dont even know where to begin. I have a few boxes to go through still, so I'm just skimming your blogs for now (and looking at cute kiddo pics).

So my last post was April 22nd. I have since finished my job, had a Texas baby shower, packed the entire house (well, mom packed it), moved to Plano, unpacked and tried to make some order of this place. I havent left the apt since I got here except to take Ray potty. I consider this a good thing. I've gotten a lot done and he is adjusting well.

A few observations so far:

-the dishwasher is insanely loud. this is a bad thing but could double as white noise possibly. tbd
-i hate electric stoves. i knew i preferred gas but now i know. my next house MUST have a gas option for the stove/oven. i cannot cook on electric and i am terrified of it.
-paying extra for a deep sink in our house was the greatest thing we did.
-if i can fit everything i want/need in this small place, maybe we can by a smaller house.
-one bathroom with one sink is not enough for me, scott and raider.
-showers in bathtubs are the most wonderful thing ever. our shower in the house was so small.
-having a yard is a huge deal. even if its really small (like they are here in dallas)
-trash pickup on the curb 3 days a week is amazing. and will be super when we have diapers in the trash
-not working is more tiring than working. and i hear it gets worse with a baby.
-i no longer have a hose connection so Raider is going to get very stinky.
-you can never have enough closets
-space saver bags might be the best invention of the millennium
-my insanity has paid off several times so far. translation: i was right.
-Raider did amazing in the car on the way here. Proof I can train him to do anything.
-I see my new doc Tuesday.

I took some pics on my phone yesterday as I was unpacking. I'll take more when the boxes are all out. They are on facebook. I'm too lazy to copy/paste them here.

Hopefully more updates soon.
