Matt Quotes

"I don't have time to be nice I'm too busy taking things personally!"

"I can't put my seat belt on right now I'm busy driving."

"I'm eating cereal right now, do you have a problem with that?"

January Posts to Private Blog

I am really surprised that I got this many posts up considering we were mid-move in the month of January.  Be sure to click back a page to older posts if you haven't seen all of my January posts.  Oh, I've also put up a few short videos to my Vimeo account.  I am still working on November so you should be seeing as many videos uploaded each week as my account will allow.

I know that I just moved if...

- Our too small car breaks down leaving someone stranded.  This time it is Matt and he is still trying to get home.
When we moved to Boston it broke down on us twice in the first week.  It was awesome.
- I drink a huge gulp of sour milk because the refrigerator was apparently on the super low setting. 

On the good side of moving, I am super impressed with modern appliances like a dishwasher and clothing washer/dryer.
I look forward to dishes and laundry now!

Summing up the Past Five Weeks of 2010

- Matt received a job offer for a really amazing job in Houston, TX.  We got the official offer right as we were leaving town for Thanksgiving.
- One road trip to Philly for Thanksgiving.
- One cold for two weeks.  (It was me and I couldn't think straight for days.)
- One side trip to Gettysburg with Krister & Sheri.
- A double birthday party while in Philly for Sheri and Matt.
- One week with my sister Megan and her sweet little girl Cora.  We explored Boston for the last time.
- Helped put on one huge Christmas event.
- Attempted to say good bye to some of our Boston friends.  Sad.  (I missed an official good-bye with my best Boston friend, but we hope to see each other later anyway!  Often.  No need for a good-bye!)
- A trip to Utah to visit family.
- Two days in Boston to clean up our apartment, clean out the storage unit, pack bags for my family which will be the only items we'll have for one month in Houston, and supervise the movers pack up all our things.
- A trip to Atlanta to visit family for an early Christmas.
- Four flight delays keeping us in the airport literally all day long.  One bag lost (all my things) but recovered the next day.
- One grueling week of house/condo/apartment hunting.  Finally signed a 12 month lease on an apartment less than a half mile from Matt's work.
- Moving into our apartment in two weeks and will be moving once again at the end of our lease.  Hopefully at that time we'll get to move into a more permanent residence in the Houston area.  

Roughly 900 miles in our tiny car, 8 flights, two cab rides, one rental car....That's a lot of traveling with a baby in such a short amount of time!  We all made it and while it was too much all at once, each part was so much fun.  What a way to top off 2010.  It started off by having my first baby and ended it with a move and a new job.  This was quite a year!

Happy New Year

This Cracks Me Up!

I do not know who this little girl is, but this video is totally something that my sisters
and I would have done.  Liesl, get your twins to make book videos...It would be awesome!

Desprate for Gift Ideas

I know, I know...Christmas is still three months away.  Desperate for gift ideas this soon?  YES!  I've found that coming up with the spare quiet time to think, the spare time to shop, and the spare time to make/craft is limited now that I am keeping track of a little baby.  :)

Organization is key.  Thoughtful gifts are important.  Budget is very, very limited.  Sooooo, this is why I feel like I should already have a plan and feel anxious that I don't already have the perfect homemade gift ideas ready to work on. 

If you have any great ideas send them my way.
I have a feeling I'm not the only one out there who has this on her mind!
