Honey...I'm home!

I know. Wow.

Don't worry, I didn't die.
I just got married, that's all. ;)

So...this Saturday will mark 4 weeks from the wedding. I've been married a month, Shay and I haven't killed each other, all is well, and all bodes well for the future! :-D

Our honeymoon in San Francisco was so fun...the excursion to Lake Tahoe was AMAZING...and I gained 5 lbs. due to the massive amounts of Ghirardelli chocolate I consumed. But it was WORTH IT! (And it really was only like 1 lb., and it's already gone again!--it's amazing what actually cooking and eating at home can do to your eating habits.)

So I'm morphing into a housewife. I cook. I clean. I do laundry. It's absolutely amazing. I'm just a string of pearls and a pair of heels short of becoming Donna Reed. Or June Cleaver. Or Laura Petry. Or the 1950's housewife of your choice. But I'll tell ya...it's really because I generally have nothing else to do all day since it's summertime and the hubby isn't also a teacher. Once school starts, I'm quite sure I won't be as on top of things household-wise. But don't tell Shay. ;)

AND NOW FOR THE EXCITING NEWS:

Shay and I close on our house TOMORROW at 1:00PM!! :-D WOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOO!! I am unbeLIEVEably excited. We went today and did the final walk-through to make sure everything was still in the condition as per the contract, and everything was! Without the sellers' furniture in there, though, we realized exactly how much more painting we're going to have to do than we previously thought. I've never really painted before, so I guess it's good that I'm a fast learner, huh?!

K well, now that Nick Owens has picked himself up off of the floor, I'm gonna go. Sorry so short this time. Maybe by the time school starts, and things with the house have calmed down, I'll write more often. Besides, by then I'll be back to my whole "I'm really supposed to be grading papers and writing lesson plans, but I'll think I'll blog to procrastinate further" routine.

Later, Homeslices.
