Okay, okay--so for all everyone knows Mitch and I just don't have a life. So here comes an update and some pictures! And..I guess I'll try to blog at least once a week. Well, Todd and Brandy's house sold! Much quicker than expected, but still awesome news. Mitch and I ended up back in Southaven. It sucks but at least the apartment is much bigger! Of course it's on the third floor so it was so exhausting moving everything! So we'll probably be staying her for at least two years..Now my only problem is figuring out what to put on all my empty walls. Oh well! Mufasa is enjoying the extra leg room and so is his new pal, Bernard. Yep--because Mitch and I are insane we got a new golden retriever puppy. He's quite mischievous --that's all I have to say about that. But here are a few pictures of the new apartment..

The bedroom is smaller--but still have a nice closet.

Mitch finally got a chair, not really a "man chair"..but it'll work for now.

Yay for cabinets! I actually have a choice of where I want my pyrex dishes.

A fireplace that we can actually look at--the last one was covered up by our couch.

SUP.

Hello all. Well, Todd and Brandy have left and we miss them terribly! :( But on a good note, we are enjoying their house! It's amazing what a difference a little more square footage can make. Mitch and I are just hanging around working and what not. I think I'm about to finally get hired on full time. The other guy in shipping got his call from the Memphis Police Academy so he'll be gone in two weeks. So it's just going to be me and ole Gary in the shipping department. Oh, and on another good note--we're going to visit Todd and Brandy for Easter! Yay! We are so excited to see where they work and what they have going on in Kentucky! Well, we don't really have much else going on..but if you know someone who wants to buy a house, send them our way!

WORK..

Well, if you haven't heard yet--Mitch and I both got the boot from work. They decided to get rid of all family members, which was about 25% of our workforce. I must admit the place was crawling with us Ivy's...me, Mitch, Cody, Todd, Brandy, Nana, and Reed! It probably wouldn't have been so bad if there was some kind of warning, but at 5 o'clock on a Tuesday we all got canned! Well, not Todd, Brandy, Reed, and Nana because they were full time employees which would be given notice later on whether or not they would push the "no family" policy any further..But Todd and Brandy both had offers on the table for big printing company in Kentucky. And all this happened the day right before the last day I could drop classes and still get money back--so yeah, I have taken a break from school for this semester. Better safe than sorry or ruining our good credit..haha! Also, no worries Mitch found another job and he's still going to school. I guess it's good for me, because honestly I really haven't decided what I want to be "when I grow up." So yeah..that's what's been going on these days! It's all been up in the air--but it's nice. This was me and Mitch's first little "hurdle" to jump over together as a married couple! We've bought a car and gotten fired and are still going. Yay, we've totally got this!

Again, I would like to share Mitch and I's Gingerbread House with the world. I just want to make sure our spectacular display of true craftsmanship is documented on our blog.

More Christmas.

Mitch and I did pretty good for Christmas this year. I didn't spend over my budget on gifts--and we both got what we wanted and needed. Mitch got a Playstation 3 and I got The Godfather Collection. :) We both got JEANS and lighter jackets. The only downside to Christmas was of course--we had a little accident on Christmas Eve. Some idiot almost ran over my little coke can of a car, but ended up just running us off the road. We got lucky and just ended up in the middle of the median on I-240. :/ But daddy saved us and the cops were nice and let him pull us out. It was freaking crazy--but we still made it just in time for the prime rib. No foul there. :)

Christmas Tree

Hello again. Due to numerous complains from my mother and Nana--I'm going to blog.

So this is our Christmas Tree! It was hilarious getting it into the apartment. The guy at Lowes didn't cut enough off the bottom, so Mitch and I had to break out the circular saw. First, I tried to cut the branches off with my kitchen shears. Then the branches got too big-so I tried to whittle them down and then cut. But it didn't really work so we rigged the circular saw so we could cut the branches. Once we got it up finally and went to put the ornaments on we realized we didn't have any hooks--so we had to stop and go get some. Then Mufasa thought the ornaments were toys and kept trying to find them after we hung them on the tree. We also didn't have anything to hang our stockings on so I thought what the hell--I'll just nail them to the wall. So yay, here are our pictures from Christmas!

A NEW YEAR

Yippy it's 2010. Yes, I'm aware I've been slacking in the blog department. I guess I'll have to get back into the groove. So be expecting some updates on all the things you've probably already heard about by now--but oh well. I can't just skip over things. I finally found my camera cord again and I've organized my "TO FILE" folder that has really been getting out of hand. But here it goes, Mitch, me, and of course Mufasa are ready to take on the New Year.
