Farewell

This is a sad, sad night.  I just turned off the television for the final time this evening.  We are moving tomorrow and have sold our TV to some friends (at least I'll still get to visit it occasionally)!  In all honesty, I'm looking forward to quieter evenings, more quality time with the hubs and more chances to have my nose in a good book, but I have to say, I will miss the mindless entertainment after a long day.  I think in the big scheme of life, I'm excited to raise our boys in a tv-free environment, and I'm excited that my evenings won't revolve around certain shows that I just have to watch (we never had dvr or anything like that, which would have made things a little bit easier!).  Goodbye Ellen.  Goodbye Bachelor/ette.  Goodbye Dancing with the Stars and all you fun singing shows.  I will miss you all.  You've been so good to me!  I'll update you all in a few weeks and let you know how I'm hanging in there!

On another note, we are saying goodbye to dorm life!  We pretty much moved straight from college dorms into being dormparents at Cardigan and then living in dorms at Proctor for the last five years.  In our married lives we've never really had our own space and it's exciting to think that we own this little plot of land together that we have dumped all of our blood, sweat and tears into over the last seven months.  I will miss aspects of living in the dorm - the relationships with the boys, the free pizza at 10:00pm on a near weekly basis, living within a stone's throw of many friends with little children...not to mention free housing/utilities/cable/maintanence etc...it will definitely take some time to adjust to our new life, but we are so excited to have a home to care for, to live so close to campus, but still have a little separation, to get to know our neighbors and more people from the town.  We have so much to look forward to, now if we can just make it through tomorrow!  Eeek!

Before and After pictures of the house coming soon!!!!  We probably won't have internet at the house until the end of the week or next week, so be patient!  :)
 

Formal

I just can't resist sharing a few of these photos of the boys in our dorm from this past Saturday night.  It was the Spring Formal and these guys looked so handsome.  Scott helped them iron their shirts before the big night and I had fun snapping pictures and sharing the photos with all of their parents who couldn't be here in person.  Although I am super excited about moving into our new house, there are definitely certain aspects of dorm life that I will miss.  Next year will also be the first year that I am not officially connected to our school in any way.  :(  Doing my best to enjoy these last few weeks with these boys before the year is over.

 Haha!  I LOVE this one!

Dorm Life

I SO wanted to blog today.  I miss blogging and it's been a whole week since I was last on here - I know...I'm SUCH a slacker!  I didn't have a chance tonight, but I did update our dorm blog.  Check this out to get a little peek at what our life is like living in a dorm!  Always entertaining...and always lots of junk food!  I'll never lose these last few baby pounds living in a dorm with all this delicious food!  A real blog post coming very soon!  I promise!  :)
