Moving day is here!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Katie and I decided to move up our moving day! Ugh! One, I hate packing and two, I hate moving. Last night, in a delirium from being too hungry, Katie and I decided that we should just get a Uhaul this weekend and move our stuff over to the Haunted Mansion this weekend instead of next weekend. I know I'm going to be happy about it in the end, but I am dreading finishing the packing I need to get done right now. Oh well, in 48 hours, I will be a happy little Browne's Addition resident. I'm sure it's going to be great. Wish us luck!

I love the fall!

What is it about Fall that makes me so happy? I love that the trees are a million different shades of orange, red, and yellow. I love the crunch of walking through falling leaves (even though I hate raking them). I like that the air is a little more crisp. I love pulling out my warm clothes and sweaters. Oh, and I adore snuggling deeper into my comforter when it's time to wake up because that is so much better then getting out into the slightly cold morning.

I think my favorite thing though is the lighting of fall. Everything feels like it has a glow to it, and the light outside feels a bit softer instead of the sharp sun of summer. Clearly, I was meant to be a photographer in this life or another.

Last weekend, we took our Sunday School classes up to Greenbluff. It is perhaps my favorite place to visit. There is nothing cuter then watching little kids try and heft giant pumpkins into the carts their parents are pulling. Everything is just so festive and fun during the fall harvest: music, laughter, families. What's not to love? Here are a couple of pics from our adventures!

HM house

So we found a front runner yesterday, in the cute but slightly scary Browne's Addition area. The owners listed it on Craig's list as "The Haunted Mansion", so now that is all we're going to call it. How could you not? It's a renovated mansion that they have split into apartments. Ours would basically be the entire main floor. Here are a couple of pics from their listing. Could be a match made in heaven!

House hunt 2008

Well, for those who haven't heard yet, I am on the move (or hope to be within the month). Katie has grudgingly agreed to be my new roommate and we are madly hunting for a house or apartment to rent before November hits (along with the snow). Mom and Steve have somehow :) been approved to rent a place up North, closer to Lorraine and the boys. It's a little crazy that we won't be one big, happy family. But I'm excited for a new adventure with my sister. She's a bit worried we'll kill each other, but I reminded her that we were totally fine when we rented our little apartment in Walla Walla. I'm sure it will be a fun year. Plus, I figure we don't have that many chances left to live together, God willing, so we might as well jump in when we can! Wish us luck, and send up a few prayers. Let's find us a house!
