An Ode to All Things Good

Whoa! It’s been awhile since I wrote some fancy words over here. So much has happily changed since my last (tinsy bit sad) post. We are now in a wonderful new place that feels like a mansion to us. It is double the size of the P-town Bungalow. We have an attached garage, the comfiest couch in the world, and the sign of ultimate wealth, a DISHWASHER. Also, our bathroom sink doesn’t spray your crotch every time you wash your hands, our shower let’s you turn on the bottom faucet first (aka we can take a bath for the first time in 2.5 years), the carpet isn’t as thin as wrapping paper, and the kitchen doesn’t have gaping holes between the tiles.  Oh, and duh, the other ultimate sign of wealth, we have air conditioning AND heat. Life is blissful. I can hardly believe we have been in Toledo for FOUR months though. Time seems to have fractured somewhere along the move and now parts of our life seem moments ago and others, that only just ended, feel like centuries ago. Well, at least for me. I likely use “we” too liberally and talk for Sel without actually capturing his thoughts. Well, we had our annual Halloween party as a “housewarming party” per say. We invited some of our stellar friends from church, my co-worker and her precious little family, our besties (Kari, David, and Davie) and the two humans who contributed (slash wholly determined) my genetic make-up. We seriously could not have pulled off the party without the ‘rents as they so loved being called. Can I just insert this really great time when I was 13 when I was being dramatic, a shocking emotion for my 13-year-old self to display, when I told a friend on the phone that my rents were ruining my life. I did it loud enough to make them upset about it and then was grounded because of my "tude". They now refer to themselves as the “rents” cause they love to relive what a charmer I was as a tween. They miss those days almost as much as I do. And now, here is an overwhelming amount of photos to show how wonderful our new place is and all the fun things we have been up to recently
Do you know who this is?!!! It's JOSH GROBAN!!

We caught up after the show for a few hours to reestablish our best friend status. I told Josh what an incredible concert it was and he told me what an incredible friend I was. What would I do without my BFF?



We also carved pumpkins recently with our little bud Davie and pretended we were Jack from Nightmare before




I love our living room so, so so much. So much

This couch and I have a bond like no other couch and human ever had. We were meant to watch countless hours of documentaries on Netflix together. 


We are just a little bit proud of our bookcase and Sel's nerf locker. We got a steal at IKEA and love all of our books. Thanks Grandma Johnson for getting us such fancy, wonderful reads!Oh and please notice Henry (our owl). He's my favorite

We also went the pumpkin patch two weekends ago and got to feed and pet all sorts of animals. A goat trying to eat is hysterical. Give it a try sometime. 

Sel looked a little out of place in the back country of Wood county with those aviators. Darn it if he didn't look good though. Also, we both got to milk a cow. Cow teets feel weird..in case you were wondering. It is also super hard to get milk out

Our happy little kitchen

Sel looks like he is trying to murder this little duckling. 


These little guys LOVED to be held. It was the weirdest thing. I want one REALS bad now

Biggest bunny I have ever seen in my life. He shed like crazy. I think I still have fur balls on those pants

Sel carrying our baby pumpkin (that we actually traded for a different one) through the not so thrilling corn maze

And to close us all out here, check out these baby butters. My new favorite thing in the whole universe. Genius idea you dear Food Scientist who invented it.
