Update Shmupdate

Do you want to know why I love this blog? Well, it's because after months of not posting anything, I can come back and pick right back up where I left off.  It's like a good friend. Always here to let me share my thoughts as if we've been talking every day.  Blogging rocks.

It's been so long since I've blogged that I'm not even sure if I've told you that I am now a married woman! Mrs. Evans.  Such a normal name, but one that makes me excited when I say it.  My Mr. is my best friend, and going to bed together every night is something I don't remember not doing.  It's so natural for us to be living together, eating together, watching episode after episode of Arrested Development. It's great.

The only thing I have to complain about is the fact that my husband feels the need to scare the jeebies out of me every time he gets the chance.  Doesn't matter if I'm on the phone with my mom, hopping out of the shower, giving a friend a tour of the house... he just LOVES to see the look on my face as I jump and run the other direction.  Obnoxious? Very.  Hilarious? Even more so. 

We've been working on making our house a home.  I've been hanging a lot of pictures I've been collecting over the years as a renter with my best friends, and we're slowly but surely beginning to collect necessary furniture.  I know I need to take more photos of things as I'm going, but I just keep forgetting... I haven't even put our wedding photos on Facebook yet!  Shame on me!

I hope to be posting more updates shortly.  Fall is coming soon, and I'm finding myself needing my own place and outlet to share my thoughts and life with. See you soon!

Spring Feverrrr & a Few Updates

Man, I seriously have the worst writers block lately!  I feel like I have nothing interesting to say lately.  Probably because my Spring Fever has taken over and all I want to do is move out and into a new place with Trevor.  Seriously, I obsess over it.  I may have even shed a tear or two over dishes and vacuums and dirty toilets.  Heaven help me!

I've also been really into drawing with my new Staedler Fineliner pen set.  I've been designing many dreamy wedding invitations and signing my name in different colors over and over with my soon to be new last name.  My boss probably thinks I'm a weirdo because I'm always drawing "Evans" in one way or another.  High school much?

We've also been waiting to hear back on a short sale that we want REALLY BAD. (<-- Underlined AND bolded... yikes!) I mean it.  It's giving me anxiety like you wouldn't believe.  It's perfect for us.

I've been trying to hide how much we want it, in case our offer was not accepted -- I mean really, who wants people to pity them? I know I don't! -- but here in this MY blogosphere space, I cannot contain it. We want this house so. bad. Pray or cross your fingers for us to be able to move forward with whatever decision the stupid slow inconsiderate bank chooses.

Also, how are you feeling about the new blog layout?  The colors make me happy, and I'm very pleased that I did it all by myself.  Hooray for Google & PicMonkey.com. I owe it all to you, guys.

Hey Monday! What's the Haps?

How was everyone's weekend?  To be honest, mine went by WAY too fast.  I seriously don't know if I did anything productive.  Goal for this week? Have a productive weekend.  Yeah!

How do you like my new layout?  I do think it could still use some improvement, but it's a work in progress.  I'm doing everything myself so there's a lot of trial & error going on in these parts.  I am NOT blogger savvy... yet.

So, that being said, if you happen to check my blog on a daily basis (because my blog is so incredibly entertaining), and you're realizing things are seeming a little schizophrenic, you'll know why. 

Trev and I put a bid on a house this past week, so we're crossing our fingers it goes through!  We're ready to know where we're going to be living for the next 5-10 years, or as Trevor and I say, for the first 2-3 kids.  Our future kidlets are the determining factor in our living situation, we're so excited to have babies in 2... no, 5... no. 10 years.

Also, I just barely checked my online banking as I was writing this post - pro multitasker here - and saw that my tax return has already been deposited.  Thank you and no thank you to the government.

No thank you for the taxes, and yes thank you for the new summer wardrobe!

No? There's still snow on the ground? I'm being a little over ambitious?

Okay fine.

But how cute are these swimmies?!?!
