Home-made... well, sort of...

My birthday was a couple of weeks ago... Oops. Jason had class from 8 in the morning until 5pm on my birthday. The Saturday before my birthday we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory. YUM! I LOVE their bread and spimoni! I was so close to buying some for my home freezer and decided I would be better off without having easy access to it. Anyways... On my actual birthday we went and ate Thai food. It was so good. We also got to pick up our car from the shop on my birthday. It looks so nice. I'm glad they did such a good job, and the paint looks great.

A little more than a week after my birthday, this showed up on my doorstep. I got to assemble it (one of my favorite things about getting desks and whatnot). There were a couple of pieces that were broken so I had to call and get unbroken pieces sent to me. Luckily the pieces were for the drawer and the back (those showed up a couple of days later) and they weren't necessary to assemble it right then.

The bottom piece unfolds into a desktop and the extra space behind it is storage. I wanted to put both my serger and sewing machine down there but they were just a little bit too big sitting side by side. We went to Home Depot and got some supplies and ended up making a little shelf to sit my sewing machine on so both machines will fit in the bottom part.

Now Jason can use the computer desk and I have my own desk to sew and make things.

I took some pictures of our apartment a couple of weeks ago. It's not that I have been too busy to post the pictures, I've just been too lazy to. It's kind of sad, now that I have all the time in the world I haven't done much blogging. There hasn't been much going on either, so I haven't really had anything to post about.

Here is our kitchen, behind that door is our washer and dryer.
This is our new couch and rocking chair. We were in need of a new couch and the chair was a wonderful added bonus! We also bought the exercise bike (and like to watch tv while using it).

It's been a while...

We had family come to town for Jason's white coat ceremony clear back in August! The ceremony was pretty neat. The school gave each of the new medical students a white coat, which they were presented with. The students also received new stethoscopes from alumni at the ceremony. It was pretty cool that they got stethoscopes as their gift. We had a lot of fun and were glad we got to have family here for the occasion.



Kate and Penny were also here, thanks for taking the pictures.
