And here we are...


Well, as of June 29, we are officially in Indiana for the next few years. At least two. Chris has begun his Masters degree at Purdue, and I am currently a professional job seeker. We have one dog, Dixie, who is spoiled- and becoming more and more spoiled by the day. She keeps us quite entertained!
I have had this blog for a while, but never really wrote anything. So, we'll see how it goes. really, it's just about us, and our 'adventures' as newlyweds in a new place. And whatever we decide to tell you all about. :)

So, here are our adventures so far...really just our day to day 'dumb doings.'

1.Mistaking oxy clean for windex...and cleaning every window and door before noticing the streaks.

2. Mistaking chicken thighs for chicken breasts, and thinking something was wrong with our meat.

3. Wondering why the heat wasn't working on our dryer, with the setting on air dry.

4. Having to ride our bikes to Auto Zone (Chris carrying a car battery in a backpack) to get a new battery for our one car.

5. Dropping what Chris calls an essential took, into the front of the element, and watching Chris spend an hour determined to get it out. Even tying a magnet to a string so maybe the tool would attach.

6. Getting lost on a daily basis in a city smaller than Jonesboro.

On a not so dumb note, we have painted the hallway and part of the living room of our super cute house! We pulled up bushes and trimmed quite a few trees. The neighbors behind us remind me of a fraternity house in college. There's definitely a constant game of beer pong, plenty of fireworks, and music... at all hours. Other than that, the neighbors are old. So that's nice. However, at certain times, usually in the evening, you can hear the people across the streets tv... I think they are hard of hearing. It's fun!
We've spent a couple of days hanging out with Chris's lab friends. Super nice, but very different from my usual clique. I actually feel bad about using my drier after hearing how environmental they are, but I need to figure out why driers are so bad before I stop using one. We do recycle- so we're at least doing a little... and we don't get sacks at the store. That's good right?
Yep, that's it. In between trips to Bed, bath, and Beyond and Wal-Mart, we seem to be painting or staining wood (just one lamp on the stain part, but we were proud!).
