Fri Yay!

Mike's schedule at his new job is Tuesday through Saturday, and since I haven't found a job yet I've just been following his same routine. So it's not quite the weekend yet here, but it's getting close! Fridays have been good days for me to clean house, do laundry, and go grocery shopping. One of the nice things about not working yet is I can get all those kinds of things done during the week, so the weekend can just be quality time with Mike. Below are some things I've been up to this week.

1. Juicer

I've been interested in trying juicing, but didn't really want to spend money on a juicer. This caused a dilemma. So I went to Goodwill and found one I liked for nine bucks! I'm hitting up the grocery store today to get some stuff to juice. I'll let you know how it goes.

2. Crafting

I've had spare time to do a little crafting lately and it's been so fun!! This is a shower poof I crocheted. I really like the colors.

3. Clean Car

So I've been meaning to clean out the inside of my car for weeks now and just kept coming up with excuses about doing it tomorrow. Well tomorrow no more! I did it.

4. Thursday

The weather on Thursday afternoon was beautiful! It put me in such a good mood! The temperature was 71 degrees and you better believe I opened the windows and put some music on. The cats and I may or may not have had a dance party (we did).

5. Costco

Since moving to Medford, Mike and I have become Costco members. I LOVE it. My parents have been members for years, so I already knew how awesome it was. Nothing like buying toilet paper in bulk to make you feel like an adult. I'm heading there today to pick up some groceries!

Hope you all have a great weekend with beautiful weather! See ya later!

Home Tour

We've been in Oregon about a month now and have settled in nicely into our new home. It's the newest built of any of our previous rentals. I believe it was finished in 2012, which is about 120 years newer than our rental in Colorado! You can see that home tour here, here, & here. Our new home is a duplex with a garage. This is also the first time we've had a garage and we love it. I'm not exactly sure on the square footage, but it's comparable to our two previous places, so somewhere around 1,200 sq ft (including the garage).

Since we are so far from family and friends I thought I'd do a little home tour for everyone to see our new place. Let's pretend you're coming over for dinner! You just pulled up to the house and Mike and I greet you with big hugs. Now, let me take you on a little walk through our new home.

 When you enter the front door there is a short hallway with a view of the whole house - living room, dining room, and kitchen. But first there is a door to the left which goes to a room we are using as an office.

 It's a bit tight in here with three desks, but we make it work. Mike and I both have computer desks, then I also have a craft desk.

 I like my work space to be fairly clutter free and colorful!!

This is the view of the rest of the house from the end of that short hallway, starting with the living room.

Dining Room

Super cute frog salt & pepper shakers!!!

Kitchen

 This is the largest kitchen Mike and I have had so far. It's also the most updated! I'm loving all the cabinet and counter space we have here.

 Bathroom

 This bedroom is pretty spacious compared to our last place. Also, we didn't want to put any holes in the walls here, so everything you see hanging was done with command strips (love those things!).

 I call this guy Mr. Buffalo. I got him last summer while visiting Yellowstone!

It wouldn't be a home tour without seeing the cats! Halo has adjusted wonderfully while Pantera took a bit longer, but is doing much better. Mike is in his third week at his new job and is doing great! He likes it a lot! I'm currently job hunting and keeping my options open. I know the right job will come along, I'm just hoping sooner rather than later. Thank you for taking the time to read this blog! I know I've said this before, but hopefully I'll get back in the habit of writing more often. Talk to ya later!!
