From scratch...



So i broke down and got a blog. Don't get me wrong, i love them and i love reading all of yours, but i dont know if i can keep up with it all. and if i keep up with it too much will you all think i have no life and should be doing something better with my time like learning how to cook or how to make a quilt. But sadly my husband likes my mediocre cooking and i am too impatient for quilt making, so blogging will have to do, so here i go.
Nathan and i lived with our 5 best friends for about a year in a home we lovingly called the house of doom. There we had too many experiences to even write down, but a few of them are these- 2 amazing christmas with so many stockings they took up a whole wall, a series of travelers coming to stay with us for either a couple days or few weeks (we liked some more than others), a million 'friends' episodes, 3 little dogs running everywhere and humping everything, home cooked dinners around a tiny table, and great talks with our best friends. All from different walks of life, students, married, waitress, drape hangers, and church employees. All with a different story, but all with the same paths in front of us.  
                             
So these are our friends, our family, and the people we serve and are served with. There are more, but these are them, and these people will always remind us of our silly pasts and limitless futures. 
So now we are at a point where Nathan and i have moved out on our own to a little place that is our own cozy home- fireplace, comfy bed, colorful rooms, and a place to call our own. The best part is that is that it is starting to get colder out now, and the fireplace is perfect for late night games of '13' and 'uno' while duke sleeps on the couch. The rain hits the ground beneath us and the trees that branch near our window and it smells like clean and wholesome- like the way God intended. I wonder if the Garden of Eden ever smelled like that, and that smell was just the norm; just yummy smelling rain and flowers and fall. I bet it did, because i imagine that God likes fall, it is one his favorite seasons. a new brand of colors to use and a change of pace from the blues, greens, and bright yellows of summer to deep reds and browns and mustard yellows. i think i like that. 
thats all for now, we will see if i continue to post. lets hope!

You could totally quilt. I mean, I am just saying. You would be great at it. Also, you are a great writer, so blogging will come easy for you.

Love it.
By the way, you are a boob for not answering your phone last night. And I am totally allowed to say boob in public-if looney tunes can say it, I can say it.
