Let me do an update on OHIO for my posterity (because one day I'm going to print out my posts and use them as a journal-record).
Boxes are gone, but pictures are leaning against the walls. I have this overwhelming urge to paint (just in the living room) but I can't make up my mind!!!! I will post pictures of my house in the next day or two... but I waited because I wanted to do a video tour but my digital video camera broke.
note: Spencer just came in the room in pure glee because Boise State Football announced Kellen Moore is going to be their starting quarterback. "He is a freshman! So we get him for four years! And he is supposed to be the best QB they've ever had!"
Anyways, the weeks have been flying by. I finally found a part-time spot for Thursday afternoons at a dental office and I am going to substitute for 9 hygienist in town when they need me. We don't have callings yet (but enjoying the break). Every Wednesday is play-date at various locations with the younger mothers in the branch. Wednesdays and Saturdays I can go to the Farmer's Market. So far, the tomatoes, blue berries, eggs, and peaches have been a huge hit! Speaking of, there are so many granolas here (aside from the Hill-billies). I think that is why everyone seems so laid back. And our new curb-side recycling has been a gratifying change. I like to think that I am "going green" but I'm really only like an orange compared some of these Athenians.
And why is everyone so shocked that we put carpet over our hard wood floors!

Carpet is great, but please tell me you didn't glue it down. When we redid the floors in the aparment we rented from Amanda & Stuart, we had to use this nasty adhesive remover to get the carpet up. It was gross! Sounds like you are settling in. Can't wait to see pictures. Wish you were here when you get that urge to paint...I am need to redo a few rooms!
I need to redo a few rooms. Honestly, I can spell, but I can't type!
I am just so surprised that you would do that to such nice hard-wood floors! I loved those floors.
Emily, are you going green?
How about you just tear out your beautiful floors and send them my way? I want wood floors SO bad...
When are you going to post more pictures? C'mon...
speaking of granolas and hillbillies, you also have the opportunity to drive out to Amish couuntry and buy cheap furniture and eat good cheap food. I went out there with my brother and loved it. there's lots of little buggies being driven down the road. it is pretty cool. hope the move is treating you guys well.
We're excited about Kellen Moore too!!
I have put carpet over hardwood too, it's just smarter with kids. Especially kids that might be learning to walk in the near future.
HEY!!! IM GLAD TO HEAR YOUR ARE GETTING SETTLED. SO I WANT TO SEE WHAT YOUR NEW PLACE LOOKS LIKE. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE PICS. SO YEAH YOU FOUND A PART TIME JOB! THAT IS EXCITING. HOW IS THE HYGIENE WAGES OUT THERE?
