Oh Saturday....

How I love you!
This is my second Saturday in our
new home; last Saturday was spent
trying to hang curtains, unpacking,
and finally grocery shopping. This Satruday
is the complete opposite, oh sure there
are still boxes to be unpacked & clothes
to be hung in the closet, but I am spending the day
in my new scraproom:) I finally have everything put
away and am ready to play!! My scrap stuff has been
packed away for more than a month and I have missed
it all so much!! Scrapbooking is such a great stress
buster for me and boy do I need some stress relief
with all of the changes that have been happening!!
So happy scrappy Saturday:D

We are now officially Hawkeyes.
I should say that I am officially a
Hawkeye. Having grown up in the
lovely state of Illinois, I have always
been anti Iowa. Then I moved to
Waterloo six years ago and started
to get swept up into the college
sports frenzy(mostly football & basketball)
here in Iowa. For the first time ever I found
myself watching college basketball on television & I
watched with the rest of the country as the UNI Panthers made history last year. Then
I started watching college football on Saturday afternoons & became a crazy yelling fan as the
Hawkeyes played one of their best seasons ever(nobody wants to talk about this years team!).
So now I find myself in a city that LOVES the Iowa Hawkeyes. Almost everywhere you go here you see the above image or better yet you see Herky dressed in some sort of costume! I think that I will soon be one of those people who has a Hawkeye flag to fly on game days and will be hosting friends at a tailgate style party on my deck! Because whether I like it or not, we are now offically Hawkeyes:)

I am the world's worst blogger!!!

I know that I have posted this before, but it is actually really true!
When was my last blog post???? May 2010!!! That is right, May 2010.
I am surprised that Blogger has not taken away my blogging rights!
Well, I am back. I am not promising to be a great blogger, but I will
try harder:)
I could try to fill you in on what has been going on with me since May,
but I find it would be easier to tell you the biggest & newest news - we
have moved!! We are now residents of Iowa City, IA. Ryan is opening a
new store in the area:) Currently I am setting up our home and looking
for a job. As many of my good friends know, I am not a huge fan of change.
Oh, I can change my hair color or purses, but not the every day. I miss
everything about my days before the move. I miss work, especially all of
my kids, Eric at Starbucks, our Target(this could be a blog post on its own),
and quite honestly just our routine. I am trying very hard to be happy and okay
with this move, but some days it is tough. It has helped that I have a very dear
friend close by and that my husband has been SUPER AWESOME:)
Well, I am off to unpack something.....we are still looking for the dvd remote!
