The last couple of weeks for some reason my computer and camera never happen to end up in the same place, hence there's not much posts or pictures because I haven't got the gears! We did managed to get a 51' tv into the house. After reading various sources warning about not buying a tv that's too big for your house, I decided to be good and got the 43', my fiance and I stuffed it in the back seat and drove home nervously the entire time afraid that the plasma screen might crack if there's a pot hole on the ground. After a lot of trouble we set it in the family room and it looked about the size of a shoe box from where the sofa is. So the first one had to go back. By the time we got our second tv we've pretty much made friends with every sales man at Best Buy and they probably got really tired of seeing us. The 51' replacement looked like a monster with the box on and there was no way we could have fitted that in the car, Jeff's smart light bulb went off then and decided that we take off the package and load it in his backseat, and that actually worked just perfect. So now we have a plasma tv, neither of us had owned a newer tv before, we both had big clunker TVs and mine just sat in the corner of my room unplugged. I've spent the last few nights catching up on my favorite shows, i.e. Seinfield, but I still haven't saw the Simpsons yet, by the time I saw a story on the Animal Planet channel about a man who had to eat his dog to survive in the wild, I immediately turned it off. I didn't know being grossed out was part of the package, interested in dog eaters? No thank you!

I can't believe it's Saturday, where did time go? We've been on a very tight schedule this week with the move. On Wednesday morning the previous owner of our house handed us the keys. The whole house had been cleared out, and the old owners parked a huge motor home in front of our house with their belongings and three dogs inside. I saw the big husky sat inside the motor home like he's guarding his new home, kind of felt bad for him now that he doesn't have a backyard to play around in. Inside the house there was a box of documents with referrals to the painter, woodworker, and even a magazine which our house was featured in back in the 90's. There was fresh camellia left on the kitchen counter and new salt sprinkled on the roses in the garden. Throughout the day as I looked in and out of the house I saw beautiful potted plants, watering pots and little stuff that she left for us, and I didn't really even get a chance to thank her for all that. As I saw them took off I felt a little nostalgic, but then there was not too much time left for that. The cleaning crew came in that morning and gave the house a deep cleaning and I had to head right away back to my fiance's place to help him pack. We worked til we were about to dropped dead and got everything ready for the movers the next morning. Between then and now, all of Jeff's stuff were moved to the new place, we got some more furniture and appliances and set up the internet and cable service. The place is filled with boxes right now and some areas need to be worked on, it hasn't feel like home yet and probably won't for a short while, but we are working on it!
