    HOUSE

    I finally took some pics of our house. I kept putting it off thinking, “let me get a little more done first…” but then I realised if I keep telling myself that, I’d never take pics. Figured I’d share our progress! Welcome! Says Indy. We have two trees in the front yard and they are SO pretty when the leaves…

    Snow White + Graveyard Party pics

    I ran out of time because I ended up having to be at my aunt’s house an hour earlier for Trunk or Treat than I expected… I didn’t get a chance to make attach my bows or put the snaps on the upper part of the cape to keep it in place… but all nitpicky, I’m really happy with it.…

    GMX 2009 Pics

    GMX was this past weekend, it was fun! I really liked the hotel – we could stand outside our 3rd floor room and look over into the main part of the convention/people watch. And the employees were really nice 🙂 It was pretty laid back for us. Chase & Derek sat up a photo booth, I spent my time “helping”……

    So on Sunday I turned “old” and yesterday I bought a house. it’s been a two month debacle but yep… we closed yesterday, picking up the keys this afternoon.

    …And the magic words were said.

    It finally updates after I’ve been trying to get it to update for a while. Geez. Sunday was my birthday. It was awesome. It was a surprise party and absolutely had no idea. Chase took me to my fav place (The Melting Pot)… we came home to what looked like an empty house… and everybody was there!! It was a…

    Dragoncon 2009 Recap

    I figured I’d better go ahead and make a decent post about the weekend before I start to forget LOL Thursday morning we managed to get out of town on time, even after going to Starbucks! Yay. Check-in at the hotel was crowded, it gets more crowded every year, more people tend to come in early these days, I guess.…

    I’m sorry.. here’s a cat pic as apology

    Here I was really trying to starting blogging on a regular basis here again, and I’ve totally NOT done that lately LOL With all the house and Dragoncon stuff I’ve just been super busy. We leave for Dragoncon Thursday and hopefully we’ll be closing on the house not long after we get back. Once that happens, life should go back…

    3 days left… costume updates

    I can’t believe Dragoncon is upon us, and I can’t believe how little I’ve posted this past month. I guess it’s just been everything going on and the slight weirdness of not being in my own place while working. (On that note, though, it looks like we’re closing on the house the day after we get back from Dragoncon. Kinda…
