Our house as it is now

The last window and door are in and most of the trim in or cut.

All the flooring is done completely.

Seamless, beautiful floors.

Thank you Mom for all your hard work!! I don't think the bathroom could be any lovelier.

Art at it's finest

This is what Joel and I stayed up late last night doing. He's doing all the work so he can get an A for himself and his 'group'. He wrote and I cut and pasted these lovely pictures and cause and effects of chewing.

April 21st- It snow today, twice.
We move back into our house some time in June.
I hope I will be in a swim suit by my birthday.
Who else hates Moscow?

This is where it all began.

This is where it flowed to.

This is what my house looks like right now.

I swear this is where my house used to be.

I'm sorry but in April I think I've earned the right to say "Damn snow!"

This is where my house is right now. Almost to the roof in the garage. Every last thing that I own.

Thank you Lord for this lovely first year of marriage.

Never Put Pictures on the Walls

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 18:29:28 GMT

About a month ago I decided I had lived in this house longer than any other, I was destined to stay here 2 more years or so, I am going to put pictures up on the walls. It was a very lovely experience to feel like I lived here and knowing that I wouldn't be moving like usual, every single year. This was a big mistake. Not only are all my pictures taken off the walls, but I have moved out and moved in to several new homes in the last week. Not only are my pictures in boxes but my walls and flooring and entire house are now in bags at the dump.
Whenever we get our new walls and sinks and floors and shelves, I will be VERY hesitant to put anything back on them.

Praise the Lord I have a Job!
I'm starting out slow to get myself and my clients back into the way of things. I've got to get my name back on the street. I couldn't be happier to be working again though, and doing what I'm good at.
Some more news, though not as big, is that I got sick within 10 minutes of a movie. I've never had any problems with it before, but Cloverfield did want I didn't think was possible. The whole movie is filmed by a hand camera and to remind you of this they swing it around and down at the floor every couple minutes. I stopped looking at the screen thinking that it would stop but it never did. I left the movie ( another first for me) and waited for the others who stuck it out.
On a last side note that I think is rather amusing. Last night the drivers side door wouldn't close for some reason (which was not ice as I thought). Joel struggled with it to see if it was just jammed or something but it was no use. I suggested that he lock it while we drove, only to find out at Movie Gallery that now is was stuck AND locked: ) He's been crawling through my door ever since until today when I drove home and decided to work on it. I pulled into the driveway and was gonna start in on the lock and what do you know? It unlocked and opened as if nothing had ever gone amiss: )

I figured instead of bugging my family constantly on the phones I might try striking up the Xanga again. Being a stay at home wife gives me just a little too much time to be productive so I've got to waste some time as well.
I've been talking with the owner of a salon that I want to work for. It's taken me quite a while but I think I may have worked it out. I find out on Monday. I'm looking forward to working which is sort of a new experience. I usually dread first days of work since I don't know what I'm doing, but this time it's different. I won't be working like a crazy person, just like 25 hours a week but the money will be nice for Joel and me.(support our taco bell habit, J/K)
I've finally printed my wedding pictures and put together a general wedding album. I chucked out the last boxes in the closets-from moving in LAST year- and I've deep cleaned every room in my house. It's not perfect but at least I feel like I really live here now.
Our house is eternally cold. We had people over for Elk stew last night and we had to have a space heater at our table to keep them from shivering. It is however, warming up and I'm not just staying that to be hopeful. January is coming to and end and the temp is just going to rise from there.
I bought new snow pants (My old ones are MIA) and I'm VERY excited to try them out on the slopes soon (with a pretty jealous husband). At least I'll look good even if my skiing skills are a bit rusty.
I love you all.

I have many questions, places I could go, I don't know the meaning of no trespassing

I figure that when I'm confused the best thing is to publish my confusion on the internet and see what results. Not really but I'm gonna do it anyway.

I was very shy to tell people that I was attending beauty school. It sounded so shallow and material and NOT christian.In all reality it is. Everyone's number one concern is looking good and appealing, maybe this is why God has broken up nearly all of the student's relationships. The focus is YOU. There isn't too much that I can do about that. Although I think that beauty is an important thing even to Christians, (if I didn't I wouldn't be going to school there) I realize that there is more to Christian life. This is not so much the source of my problem but merely a back round for it. My problem comes with the people I attend school with. I don't want to be the pious outcast in a sea of people consumed with themselves. I know that's not the Christian thing to do. Neither do I want to blend in to the crowd of people taking pride in their bitchiness ( they think if you're doing it on purpose then it's alright). I have tried to naturally find a balance, but I can seem to see how to love these people but at the same time not be supportive. They don't understand my lifestyle and I don't accept theirs. I try to empathize with their problems, when I know what's at the base of them and they've got no clue. I can't just shout it out to them, but I don't want to just ignore them either. I'm not the giver of the Holy Spirit, but I see a great need for His action.

My Niece has deemed us Marmy and Dole and I like it. However to view our engagement pictures you need to go onto Ieyre.com/albums and select Mary and Joel (boring I know) the password is dowers (lower case, woot( hahaha)). I may be getting married after EVERY last child in moscow (mostly the ones who have been going out as long as Joel and I have been engaged) but at least I'm getting married!

I am the great mouse brain smasher!

This week has been totally crap. The one thing I reflect on with great joy is my triumph over my other roommates. Not Jerko,no no, these roomies eat much more than her. We've put up with their demanding ways for as long as we can. I put up two traps where I had spotted the little moochers. Within 20 minutes we heard the first snap and the birthday boy was called for duty. Not more than 2 hours later his friend also met his demise. Joel was called in for the trash run this time. Score two for me and that's about it for the week: ( It can only get better from here.
