Send me some mail :)
…apparently doesn’t exist to google, the county emergency
services, any online map or AT&T. Having a brand new house in an all new
neighborhood definitely has its perks and I am not complaining in the least but
seeing as though the landlord and the mailman are the only important people
that don’t question that you have the correct address, we definitely have a
problem.
On another note, our house is awesome. Lauren and I got our
keys on Monday and raced to the house in a four-runner Randy versus Edge Bubs
battle…me and Bubs won. Duh. My parents came down with all of my things on a
trailer on Tuesday and by Friday I just about had everything where I wanted it
and decided to spend the day at the pool. Lauren got all moved in on
Thursday…while Adam was taking an exam and working. I think we gained some
muscles even though we saved her desk for him to put together! Girl power. The
porch swing is definitely the best part of the house, with a rocking recliner
from my uncle in a close second with this giraffe canvas right behind it.
We ripped some guy off 2 rows over in our
neighborhood that Lauren found on Craig’s List and got 4 barstools out of it…it
worked out in our favor. He tried to give us some Marilyn Monroe things that apparently
cause fights between him and his girlfriend but we declined and decided to stay
out of that situation! We met a neighbor…Mary, and bought a kiddie pool for
some intense backyard tanning sessions. We hope to meet more people but seeing
as though a huge white kidnapper-looking van is in the driveway because it’s
what Lauren used to bring her things down here, I don’t expect visitors to be
lining up at the door just yet!
Friday night we got some fish and I
straightened my hair for the first time in 3 weeks, impressive I know.
By fish,
I mean 4 diverse goldfish, 3 shrimp and an algae eater. That should make 8
little critters hanging out in my tank. Wrong. I only have 7, one shrimp down.
We’re hoping he is playing an intense game of hide and seek instead of dead on
the floor, as we aren’t really sure if he made the transition from the bag to
the tank…yikes. That’d be a new record…killing something within the first hour
of having it. Great. I like the hide and seek idea better so we’ll stick with
that. Also, they eat bloodworms…I’m not really sure what exactly what those are
but maybe shrimp weren’t the best little pets for me. 
We might have another
outside pet in the making though, since a cat wandered up on our walk around
the neighborhood and followed us last night...which is exactly the way we
acquired my cat in Olive Branch, Pixie. It was cute even though the picture
makes it look like a demon. Only problem...I'm allergic to cats so I guess I'll just never touch it. God knows Lauren won't get within 5 feet of it. Cody went fly fishing this week and I’m really
jealous. Mainly because I’ve never caught a trout and you get to stand in the
water to fish but he said he’d take me sometime when I’m out there. Like in 33
days :) If you know someone selling a kayak, let me know. That’s in a close
second behind how much I want a puppy.
I can’t believe summer is almost over! Seven states, an
adventure to Colorado, my first time camping, the Tennessee River, way too much
watermelon, beautiful sunsets, Lady Antebellum, a Harley and my motorcycle
license, a surprise 21st for Lauren, moved my life for the 4th
time in 2 short years, got my first house and had lots of ICEEs!
Pretty
successful summer, I’d say!
Until next time, come visit us!
(and help us find our lost shrimp)
