Time

Where did January go?! I can't believe we are in the month of February and Valentines day is next week!

I have been a busy girl. We have decided to not renew our lease at our apartment and we are looking to buy our first house! Very exciting stuff, except that now the search is on to find an awesome house that we love and we have to be out of our apartment by March 3rd. That is like three weeks away. So we have pretty much come to terms with the fact that we will not be finding a house by March 3rd so it's a good thing I have gracious in-laws that have offered to let us stay with them until we find the house of our dreams (that fits in our budget of course).

So I have booked a storage unit to house all our stuff in the mean time. I tried to start packing in January unsuccessfully. I packed a few boxes here and there but nothing like I hoped. I keep picturing that March 1st will roll around and I will still have so much to pack and then being rushed and throwing stuff in random boxes! I hope to start moving some boxes into our storage unit this weekend... wish me luck!

As far as the house hunt is concerned... not so good. It's slim pickin's. We have not found anything that we loved yet and it is extremely frustrating. Actually we did find a nice house however we (I) took to long to make up our (my) mind so someone else beat us to it. I am kicking myself for that one. You live and you learn and I will be ready next time :)

On a different note... We got some snow last week. Bummer! I hate the cold. I stayed indoors all day! After the snow all the trees had icicles on the branches and it looked so pretty! And it all of a sudden occurred to me why people put tinsel on Christmas trees. Its supposed to look like icicles!










I will never look at tinsel the same way again! :)
