Spring

I can feel spring right around the corner! This season of rebirth has inspired me to make certain transformations in my life, one of which is consistently updating the blog.

I plan to use this blog as a way to record my (and Stas') adventures in life, as well as keep me accountable to certain goals I plan on making in the future. I have been thinking lately about living a fulfilled life and what exactly that means. So my goals will be based loosely on ways to make my life full and useful. More on this later.

A lot has happened since I last posted. So, I though I would make a list about what has gone down in the past 5 months. Whoa, 5 months!

The List:

Stas and I did not dress up as vampire and vampire slayer for Halloween.
We didn't dress up at all. For shame.

We made an offer on a condo and it was accepted! We spent 2 stressful moths trying to buy said condo and in the end it fell through.

The rentals (my parents) came to visit for Thanksgiving! Yay!

Stas was called as Elders Quorum President (big leadership position at church). whoa.

We found a even better condo and made an offer.

Christmas in Michigan and New Years in Florida!

Stas worked 12 hours a day for 3 weeks. We hardly saw each other.

Bought said condo and moved in the end of January! We are homeowners!!!!

Painted, updated and unpacked the condo for a month. Rachel turned into a spaz.

Rachel got a job. Finally!

Stas learned how to fix our cars, sorta.

Rachel went to Michigan to help the rentals pack up their house, so they can move to a new home. It's a bombspice awesome historical house.

We almost got a kitten.

So that is pretty much the highlights of what we have been doing. We are both exhausted from the past couple months. It seems like we have been going non-stop. We are pretty much unpacked now in our new place. Now it's time for decorating. Holla! Mostly we are looking forward to getting into the routine of life.
