This is my very first blog. I dont really know where to start since my brain is always full of ideas and doesnt seem to want to slow down very much (except when I really need it). I'm sure I have lots of stories and ideas that I can keep anyone amused with, afterall, my life is far from boring!
I have been married now for two and a half years and in that time we have moved 12 times, had numerous roommates, lived in cities and the "boonies", had to spend hours on city transit and hours driving through snowstorms without wipers or a heater, like I said, far from a boring life!!!
The many life lessons we have been given by our many adventures have taught us to grow up faster then we wanted to at times. Some of these lessons include (but are not limited to);
-Packing a house in a day or less because a friend will be there to pick you up sometime after midnight (and only has a Jeep to fit all your stuff and four people in!)
-How to bake and cook with one cookie sheet (small) one frying pan, one pot, four plates, three bowls, one mmixing bowl (small) three forks, two spoons, one butter knife, and one wooden spatula, and no cook books, all of this for two or more men and youself
-Dont believe the friend that just showed up on the doorstep with a backpack that it will only be for a few days until him and his girlfriend work things out, cause he's gonna end up living there until you see why she kicked him out and do the same as she did so that you can have your couch back and food in your fridge again!!!
-When writing a budget, you have to remember bills, bank fees, movie rentals, gas and oil, and that you will probably end up spending money on a bunch of little things that you didnt think about
-Never go grocery shopping when you're hungry, you will spend way to much on snacks and junk food and won't have the food to last until the next pay cheque!
-And, of course, even though Mr. Noodles, Kraft Dinner, and hot dogs are cheap, you do get sick of eating them after a month or two, so dont be afraid to cook and spend a bit of money on real food.
Every month brigns a new adventure in my life, ever three to five months usually brings a new house or new city as well. Hope you will stick around to see what new and exciting things are in store for me!
