So an update. Umm, stuff. I started my job as a sub for custodians in the school district here. It's pretty much the best job I've ever had. It's pretty awesome and I enjoy it. It's also nice to have something to do during the day, keeps me sane. I only work 2 or 3 days a week though. That way I still have time to stay sane from working too much.
So we're not buying a house, which I'm completely fine with. I'm just glad it's done with and I don't have to think about it anymore. A few weeks ago I decided I really didn't care and we started buying stuff we've been intending to buy for months and months now. So we went crazy and bought a new tv, 42" lcd, woot. And then we had to get a new entertainment center to fit it, well, more of a stand, but yeah. And then the thing I've been dying to get for umm, since the day I got married... a king size bed. We are officially out of the double and into a king. I know have room to move and stretch out when I sleep. It's awesome. And then we've been buying little things too. I decided since I have to live in my apartment for the next year I'm going to actually have a bedroom I enjoy being in. So I repainted our dresser and bought new hardware for it, it's totally hot now. And we bought some new lamps and nightstands. And we bought some curtains. Our bedroom is almost completely amazing. I'm going to buy a head board soon and then move out the bookshelf and replace it with the fishtank and hang up the mirror. After that it should be about done.
I've also been doing crafts lately. I started with refinishing the dresser. And then the mirror. And then I made some art for my awesome 'new' bedroom. I've been keeping busy with lots of fun things like that. I also have some other projects in the works.
Jamo is doing good in school and plowing along. Only two more semesters after this! And at work, he's getting a new position, which comes with a pay raise, which is awesome. He also won't be on the phones anymore, or at least not a whole lot. It's a help desk position. So he's excited about that. Now if only we could find time in his schedule to sleep.
So yup, we're just living and loving life.
So things are going pretty well here and we're just living and loving life.

We must be related since we have the same super festive background. I'm jealous of your shopping spree. I'm lucky if we have groceries at the end of the month... oh well, it's fun being poor. Enjoy all your cool stuff for me :)
I like to refinish my furniture every once in a while. It's amazing what a new coat of paint can do.
My husband would be so very jealous of your big tv and king sized bed. Those have been on his wish list for like, oh, 11 years or so. But I have this crazy notion that we should spend our money on food for the kids and stuff. Enjoy the pre-kids life while you can!
Also, I think it's time for a new poll. I weighed in on being a honeydew ages ago.
yeah, we figured if there was a time to buy stuff it's now, before the babies start a comin'. so we bought all the major things we wanted. so pretty much that takes care of our tax return...
