My new cottage

I've finally moved out of what I like to call "the dorm room". I was very blessed to have found such a great living situation upon my arrival here to CA. But it was only temporary and I really missed my belongings which have been in storage since this past May. OMG.

Anyways, I was once again lucky to have found a great little place. It's a one bed/one bath cottage with an attached garage. I LOVE IT! It's perfect for me. No room for my dining room table and chairs. But it has an eat-in kitchen. I have a few more pieces of furniture to purchase. A low shelving unit, a bed frame, and a TV stand. I've already scooped them out at IKEA. This is still a work in progress. I've got to finish painting the kitchen and putting up pictures. But I'm so happy! Check out the pics!

Thanksgiving 2008

I spent the holiday with my brother Peter and his family in Portland. Too bad all of my winter clothes are still in storage, because it was freaking cold! Omg! It was a great trip. The boys are growing up so fast. They just watched the movie Stars Wars, so they are all about the guns. You'll notice in a few of the pics they were "shooting" at me. The time with them is priceless. I hope to make another trip this summer. They are also quite the cooks. They love to cut vegetables and stir mixes. I wish I had gotten some pics of their culinary skills.
