Our House Is A Very, Very, Very Fine House

My Papa asked if he could see my new place.
Actually, he asked if I would post pictures on my blog so he could see my new place.
So, here it is! My new home on the flower streets.

My bedroom
All of the stuff that doesn't have a place yet

My closet and TV {paused during How I Met Your Mother Season 4}
The Coors Light box is from when my uncle packed my house.
It's filled with books and is not an actual case of beer in my bedroom.

Our bathroom {See the cute tiny heater--to the left of the toilet}

My roommate's bedroom {Sorry if this is creepy, Em}

Our living room {with the beginnings of Christmas decorations}

Our kitchen {with the microwave I just bought!}
The table is a Christmas tree place-holder
And don't worry about the mini-fridge, it's moving soon.

Our brand-new refrigerator
{It's apartment-size--extra narrow--and, evidently, extra short}

Kevin and Wendy...the paintings are proudly displayed

Our stockings are hung by the empty picture frame with care

I'll post some more when we buy the tree and hang the lights tomorrow.
Ooh, and maybe I'll post about the all of the great places within walking distance.

12 Days Later

It's been 12 days since I've posted here.

12 Days ago I was still in Kitale.
I had some boxes in my new home, boxes at my dad's, tubs at my mom's, and a storage unit.

I now sleep in my new place {the boxes still exist}, the stuff from my dad's is now in my living room...I have fewer dresses at my mom's, but still an equal number of tubs...and my storage unit will only be more full come Friday.

I also went back to work at Mariners. I really love it.

It was so fun to think about going back to work to see my friends...fun to know that many of these friends have been in my life for around 5 months, but have become so dear to me in that time.

It was fun to be welcomed back. To be embraced in to their community.

This post is mediocre, at best, but I felt as though I should post something.
More to come...

Undecided

I'm not totally sure how I feel about this.
I wonder why Jimmy would make this choice.
I wonder if the shoes will be cute.
We'll see, I guess.

Away We Go

Have you seen this movie?
I rented it from iTunes this week and Bre and I watched it last night.

I, of course, had tears in my eyes a few times...but I laughed a lot, too.

I definitely already had a love for Dave Eggers, {duh, really}...so, I'm not sure why I didn't see this movie in-theaters.

But, I can't wait to get to Target and buy it.
And I also can't wait to buy the soundtrack {well, I can wait until I get back to America...to a paycheck and faster internet...}
