Alright Alright...

Ok, obviously I'm not the best at keeping this thing updated...so we'll do another post like the last one...little overview of life since February 16 :P

Hawaii trip... totally fun, better than expected - no one ripped anyone's hair out, well almost... :\ We saw sooo sooo many whales while we were there it made the chilly Feb/March weather totally worth it... I had never seen a whale before and the first one that I saw "breach" had me jumping up and down like a 7 year old girl...I looovved it! Always been a fan of whales so it felt like I had waited 22 years to see them! You could just stand on the beach at our hotel and see them jumping around, or drive along the coast and watch out the window BUT, the absolute most thrilling was going whale watching. We saw so many whales and they were so close to our boat that the boat driver (who had been doing this for 20 years) said it was one of the best whale watching trips of his career - top 10! ANYWAYS... also went to a Luau, very cool, got some fun pics...did a Zipline tour, hilarious tour guides, they made the trip and some other fun stuff. It was all around a good vacation...obviously the whales were the most memorable part for me! :)

Ok, so, get ready for the happiest news on the planet...... we found a new place to live.. and we move in next weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO MORE ROOMMATES!!!! We will (finally) have a place of our own with no roommates to deal with...EVER! A couple months ago I didn't think I could possibly make it to the end of our 1 year lease, but I toughed it out and I'm soo soo thrilled that the day has finally come! And even better yet, the first night that we stay in the new house will be the night of our 1 year anniversary! It's the greatest anniversary gift I think we could ever give ourselves :) We've had the keys to the new place for about 3 weeks now so I have been very busy painting and sewing drapes etc. and of course packing. I got so excited about moving one night that I started taking decorative things off the walls and before I knew it our house was pretty barren...this was like 3 weeks ago and Dan came home and said...ummm I think you might have done that a little early... we still have to live here for a month ya know?... I then bounced over to him and said, I just couldn't help myself!! ;D It has been/will be very nice that we are able to move in slowly over the course of the last month because by the time we move our bed everything will be all set up and ready to go! I will have to post pics once we get all settled in. We are also very excited about how much money we will be saving (we are downsizing quite a bit) and plan on staying in this house until we've saved enough to buy our first house...could be a while but as long as we don't have roommates I am one happy camper.

I don't think there's really anything else to share other than that... getting ready to move has pretty much consumed my life the last month!

Until next time.....
