WE'RE MOVED!!!

Andrea really wants me to update, so this one is for you, baby.

I have so much to update. We got moved in. It rained. We got wet. I got sick. We ordered 3 pizzas because people were hungry, but Russell's dad unknowingly bought hambugers and fries for everyone so we had buttloads of food. Mommy got us a cute solar light thingy with kitties on it for a house warming gift plus another on the way. I'll take a pic of it later. It's sooo dang cute! She worked so hard to help me pack, load, unload, and unpack. So did everyone else which included Russell's mom and dad and his uncle Robey who was a life saver with his delivery truck!! Now, I have a lot of pics, so I'm going to use those to update.

First, I am going to put up some before and after photos.

BEFORE /AFTER



















BEFORE /AFTER






















Okay, that's enough before and after. Now to some more important things.

This is from my lovely Andrea and Alisha. Thank you ladies. It's very pretty, and I love it. They made it themselves. Like little elves.












This is where Russell put in metal carpet floor thingies. He also did both of those floor jobs. He's so good, and with no previous experience, I might add!















AND FOR THE BEST PART OF ALL. Remember the really crappy, smelly furniture that I was supposed to get from my great uncle's camp? Well, Russell had been playing me for weeks that he had picked it up, and it smelled so bad, and he was soooo disappointed making me feel terrible. Everyone knew BUT me. We had just gotten to the trailer, and I was just walking in the door when I noticed a new rug in front of the door that I thought was pretty. Then I looked over and saw this brown couch and thought "that couch wasn't brown....." It wasn't until I looked over and saw the chaise lounge that I put two and two together....sorta. The first thing I did was turn around and look at Russell's mom and said "What did you do??" lol It turns out that Russell's mommy and daddy bought us this couch since her parent's bought them furniture when they were first married and didn't have any, and Russell bought me the chaise lounge. She also bought us some really nice rugs. How did I get so lucky to have such a loving family who would do anything for us?
By the way, I just noticed Gunther's tail sticking up in the picture...damn cat. lol






























That thing is so damn comfortable.


Oh, and yes, we still have boxes everywhere.

And anyone who wants to come and visit can come anytime!

Oh, and Russell's mommy got us these for Easter...lol. CUTE!

Office Done

Russell and I have finished the office. All of the baseboards are up, and then floor in the closet is done and clean. This is so exciting. It looks awesome. Everything is coming together...but it's kinda nerve wrecking that it's only coming together the week that we're moving! Saturday is the big day. It's sad that this won't be our home anymore. It's going to take some getting used to, definitely. I hope it doesn't take long to feel like home.

Russell's thinking about flying down to Jekyl Island on Tuesday and driving back home with his parents on Saturday. I don't know if I can hack this. Is it really fair that I can't do anything because I'm going to school? I would be too worried about him flying, and I really want to be there, but it's just not possible. Just one of those things in life that I can't do a damn thing about. Our anniversary is the weekend before he would be leaving, too, and I would like to go camping or something, but we'll see about that. No vacation for Tonya this year.

CoNsTrUcTiOn

This is our new washer and dryer.



















Lately, we have been having a wasp problem, and here is where they have been coming in the house. Grrr. My friend Sammy came over to look at the trailer, and since she's such a good friend, she killed 4 wasps for me! WAY TO GO SAMMY!














This is the teeny bedroom that has been cleaned, and the bed they left behind. I know you're thinking that's gross, but I assure you that it was cleaned thoroughly, AND it has had a vinyl zip-up cover put on it. It's pretty dang comfy! I have indeed napped there a few times already. *blush*














This is where the roof looks like there was a fire. Hopefully, it will be cleaned tomorrow when mommy and grandma come over.














This is Russell's beloved office. That is our $150 floor. We started playing around with baseboard today, but of course we did not get it done. If you're wondering what that blue color is, it is called "stargaze".














More office with the nasty carpet in the closet.














This is the bathroom by the office that used to have carpet in it. Russell's mom and dad gave us extra flooring from their animal hospital.
















Well, as you can see, we are still not finished, BUT we're getting our butts into gear because we have officially decided to move on April 22, 2006 (Saturday). I will post up before and after pictures when things are done.

Moving Date

Okay, I think we are officially moving either on Saturday April 22 or Sunday April 23. Russell's Uncle Robey is going to use one of his moving trucks from his store to move all of our stuff for us. Yay! It has one of those lift elevator thinger majiggers (or however you spell that word).

If we still have money by then, maybe we'll throw a lil party so everyone can see the new place and have a good time.

It's almost a little sad that we're leaving our first apartment.

Attention students: you are no longer aloud to take notes.

We put the floor in the bathroom and office. The only thing left to do with the bathroom is to put in the base on the walls, then the office needs some more paint, base, and then closet floors needs done and walls need wiped down. Everything is starting to fall into place.

I got a check from financial aid for $1,457.00. It was a very nice surprise. I guess they decided to give me back the money they jipped me on at the beginning of the year since I'm going to summer school and I'm poor. Not sure.

Still been skipping class, just not the important one. I accidently missed it last week, though, because I turned off my alarm clock and accidently fell back asleep, but I got the notes off a friend. The teacher in there that also teaches my Small Ruminant Production class actually yelled at all the students in our class yesterday FOR TAKING NOTES! Yeah, I know. Can you believe that? He even cussed. He said "PUT YOUR PENCILS DOWN AND LISTEN TO ME! STOP TAKING NOTES. THAT'S WHY I GAVE YOU THE DAMN HAND-OUT! I AM JUST TELLING YOU THE CONCEPTS THAT WAS IN THE HAND-OUT. THIS IS WHY MOST OF YOU GOT THIS WRONG ON THE LAST TEST!" Yes, a teacher yelling at STUDENTS for taking NOTES! Don't they normally yell at you for not taking notes. Luckily, someone had enough guts to say something back to him. Some guy behind me said (in a really angry tone) "That is why we are taking notes, SIR, to take down the concepts you are saying. So, stop pausing and keep talking. Then he slammed his notebook on his desk...lol. The teacher seemed kind of scared. Hehehe. GOOD! Asshole. OH, and the reason why everyone did so badly on the last test was because his questions were very unfair. The class average was a 61% and the highest grade was only an 84%...what does that tell you? Hmmm.
