Blah Blah Blah

So...I know I have done a terrible job lately updating the blog! But Tweedy and I have been crazy busy moving to a new city and into a new house. This house moving thing is super hard and so stressful and was really an ordeal! Our first mistake was picking a Tuesday to be our move out day, which made it where it was just the two of us and our usual helpers: his parents and brothers or my parents and brothers, were all working or in school! Boo! So we ended up having to do the whole thing alone, which was really a test on our marriage, but we made it through. We are completely ridiculous and ended up finally packing everything into a 26 ft Penske truck that Tweedy drove, which could probably be considered an 18-wheeler type truck because it was so huge, and I had to pull a 16 foot Uhaul behind Tweedy's mom's fancy Mercedes SUV. We were a sight! We packed all day and finally left for our 4 hour trip at around 9 p.m. We drove 60 mph down the Interstate and talked to each other through walkie talkies using lots of "10-4. Over and out. Good buddy." the entire time. We finally get to our new hometown and crash before our big closing the next morning. We wake up and realize...ugh oh, we packed our clothes in the back of the Penske and can't get to them through all of our other stuff....so we had to wear our dirty moving clothes to the closing. We looked like such a pair of rednecks. Even with all of that moving space (the Penske we used is supposed to be able to hold a 6 bedroom house...ours was only 3 and still it wouldn't hold all of our stuff!!) We also had to make another trip to the old house for all of Tweedy's plants!! We ended up having to rent another Uhaul just for the plants, drive embarrassingly slow down the interstate again as well as stop a couple of times along the way to "open the trailer and let the plants breath." But it was all worth it because now we have all of our plants in and around the house and Tweedy's garden has already gotten started producing veggies! Long story short...we are finally moved in and I have just now, a week later, gotten everything out of boxes and into its places in the house. I think it looks pretty good around here but doesn't quite feel like home yet...maybe I need to start a new knitting project and spend some time in our den or something. I think we've been working in the house so much lately we haven't had time to enjoy it!

And while I'm giving out excuses for not updating the blog here's another one for ya...lately we've been living in the stone age around here. I think our old house was struck by lightning or something because in a span of 2 weeks: Our TV won't turn on and is being fixed so we don't have a TV, BOTH of our computers stopped working, our phones won't hold their charges anymore and then Tweedy's callers can't hear him (he's getting a new one), our Ipod has been messing up....and we don't have a microwave. Are you kidding me. If one more electronic thing in our life breaks I'm going to get rid of them all together. We finally got our computer back (the Dell customer service is wonderful) so I'll be sure to post some new pictures soon.

In knitting news...I recently found out that a couple of my girlfriends are having babies so I may start getting into knitting for babies again! I can just see the hats and blankets being whipped out! Updates soon on some good baby patterns I come across!
