ITS OURS! ALL OURS!

We got the house, the bulldogs arent so bad after all! Phil got the keys today and we'll be moving this weekend!

Tid Bits

Phil got his boaters license. I life time certificate that allows him to drive a boat. The test was taken online. It was asking really funny questions about the panama canal and the Mississippi River, Phil's prepared for world boating.

It has been special having him around. I give him an A+ for helpfulness and niceness. He made me a cute lunch yesterday, I just had to take a picture of it.Craft Night was a success, make sure you come next time!
I got all of my seats recovered. I'm pretty excited.

The next step is making pillow slip covers, Mum helped me make throw pillows out of old pillows!

Im learning to sew!

Is this in our future?

Phil and I are always looking on craigslist for the perfect rental. Its hard to find a place that meets our needs and we refuse to settle!

Phil's requirements:
Garage
fireplace/wood stove
large yard for the dogs
parking(our first duplex had NO parking)

Jenna's Requirements:
within walking distance to something: friend, store or park
dishwasher
washer dryer (never want to go to a laundry mat ever again)
2-3 bedrooms (my office, our room, emma's room)
a separate dinning room
not stinky or dark
prefer wood floors

budget: 900max. anything higher we might as well pay a real mortgage but dont want to commit quite yet.


AND WE FOUND IT!!!! Kind of an eye-sore from the street but meets our needs on the inside and is really close to Abby and Denny's & I can walk to safeway....
except it doesnt allow pets. We begged the property managers to reconsider. So we are the first application in and they said they will call the owners and get back to us 2-3days.

Tickets Are Purchased

Phil and I are going to the Newport Seafood and Wine Festival this year, Feb 20th-23rd. I've never been! We bought the 3 day pass and we are going to camp with my Uncle and Aunt in their motor-home. Maybe we'll see ya there?

Remember These People?

I sure do and I miss them.


Phil and I got to have a slumber party with the girls a week ago. They are sooooooo big! Lil' is hilarious, she has sooooooooo much to say. and Mags is as cute as ever, so sweet and cuddly.
Everyone should text them and tell them to update their blog!

A Good Weekend

Phil and I had good fun weekend together!

Friday
we ventured to the "big city" of Portland to spend the night with Tiff. We toured the Shanghai Tunnels in downtown Portland then went to dinner at Tiger Too. The best darn mac n cheese & bloody mary's this side of the Mississippi!

Saturday
Tiff had to teach a class until 11:30am so Phil and I slept in. Tiff only lives one block from Hawthorne so when we woke we walked to Hawthorne to explore. Cappucino, bread-pudding muffin, farmers market, funky thriftstore and awesome fabric store. I was loving it!!! Phil picked out our fabric for the chair coverings and I found fabric for new throw pillows. When Tiffy got home we went to brunch at Genie's. Excellent little breakfast place also with AMAZING bloody mary's. I think I almost have Phil convinced how fun it would be to live in the city before we have kids, then settle down back in Corvallis.
Thanks Tiffy for the nice little visit!

Saturday Night
I got consumed in my craft projects and Phil went out with the guys. Boss Man was in town. He had a lot of fun. We found out Brandon and Kayla are procreating. CONGRATULATIONS!

Sunday+superbowl+hour long episode of The Office+lots of delicious food=early to bed!
