Getting Settled

Besides making huges messes in the kitchen, a lot has happened in the last two weeks, including moving into our new home! We started out with a new paint job:

Before



After

We watched one last snow storm roll in (hopefully)!

We've unloaded lots and lots and LOTS of these.

I learned how to fix the dryer, all by myself. Well, it didn't really need fixing, I guess. But it had a 3 prong plug on it, and our outlet was 4 prong. So I took this task on all by myself (since the hubby was busy at work), even though he blatantly said to me, "I'm not sure that I feel comfortable with you doing this." Not that I could blame him, but I was very proud of myself after I accomplished the project!

 After three trips to Lowes, I finally got it figured out. And then the dryer wouldn't fit in the laundry room. I wasn't frustrated. Not at all. Not in the least bit. Ha!

 But once my hubby finally got home that evening, he was able to help me move things around a little bit, and I was finally able to do our first load of laundry. Exciting times in the Shepherd house, people.

I've also had the opportunity to keep this little cutie a few times.

 

We've had a few outings in the park with Sagey.

And I started back to work!

When Hunter saw this for the first time, he laughed. Not the reaction I would have hoped for, but whatever. He said in his best southern girl voice (think: those terrible Sticks 'N Stuff commercials with Tina Gordan as the lead actress? Or maybe the "I'm a pothole" commercial?),

Hi! I'm Sarah, and I'm here for the pageant

So maybe my lipstick looks a little bright in the picture, and I agree my hair is a little large. Now that I think about it, it does bring me back to the glory days of Miss Peanut. But whatever.

So that about sums up the last two weeks for the Shepherds, pageant hair and all.
