Baked Apples

by Jessica November 14, 2012

Everyone is posting about what they did on Halloween, and I realized that I totally forgot to post what we did! It really isn’t anything that exciting. We stayed home!!!! Also, we relaxed which was huge for us. If you know Grant at all, he loves his chill time which I think comes with the territory when you are an introvert. So while Grant “Chills” I tend to either be productive, be crafty, clean like crazy, or read for hours on end.  We didn’t hand out candy because there are only 3 kids living near us in our complex, and I think their families took them to better(as in more candy is available) neighborhoods.  It has been colder here (nights in the low 30s to highs in the high 40s low 50s) which really got me in the mood for warmer food. Poor Grant has had to eat TONS of soups,etc. So, I was in the mood for baked apples. My parents used to make the randomly while growing up and this sounded perfect.

One way to clean Suede Shoes

by Jessica November 7, 2012

I have this pair of Clark Wallabee shoes. I love them,but wish I would have gotten them in the smooth leather rather than the suede. They are to expensive for me to justify getting a different pair,but that is how it goes. I have had them since college, and I have tried to figure out how to clean them. They always have this dirty look that bothers me, and I paid 20 dollars before to have them cleaned professionally,but there isn’t much you can do to keep them clean unless you don’t wear them. I have considered dying them a dark color so that you cannot see the dirt,but I am not to that point yet. I have even looked into putting scotch guard on them,but I heard it doesn’t help much.

Progress?

by Jessica November 3, 2012

Our place is slowly coming together, and here are some updated pictures of what we have been up to. As I mentioned in the last post, we needed some things from Ikea, and unfortunately the closest one is now in Atlanta. We would have loved to visit Simon and Sarah since from the Ikea we were only 2 hours away,but we did this trip on Friday of our first week in the area, and we had too much to unpack before we both started work full time on the following Monday. Not to mention, it would have been short notice for them and they might have had plans. So Hi Ho Hi Ho its off to Atlanta we go…

Our First Days in Huntsville

by Jessica October 24, 2012

As I mentioned in a Previous Post, we were able to move into our Condo on Tuesday, and below are some of the pictures of our condo. We will be here for at least one year, and it is insane how much more room we have. We went from a 720 Sq. Ft.  1 bedroom one bathroom Apartment to a 1200 Sq. Ft. 2 bedroom 2 bathroom Condo for only $20 more a month. 1 warning, these are all before pictures as we unpack. We still have a TON to unpack since we did so many other errands and now are both working full time. I do have to say that the industrial saran wrap was one of the best moving items we purchased especially if you have any ikea furniture. It makes sure it doesn’t get scratched or wet.

Bama or Bust

by Jessica October 21, 2012

Saturday the 13th was an insane day for us. Grant and I tried to sleep in but were awake at 6am. We got up, showered, and I continued packing up the last minute items so when our help came it would all be ready. Grant went to get the penske truck only to find out I had to come with him, so he came and got me, and we went there together. After I dropped him off, I went to einstein’s bagels to pick up breakfast for everyone who was helping us move. Then I went to Walmart to get water and orange juice. If you EVER have people help you pack/move, then remember to always feed them well and have lots of water. I had cleaned all of the appliances except the fridge in advanced because I just hadn’t gotten to it yet.  Everyone arrived at 10am to help us pack the penske truck. We had around 5 people in addition to Grant and I. The guys started with packing the larger items while we girls brought down everything we could so they could pack things better. As most of the things got moved out, Brandie cleaned the fridge out which was a huge help while Beth vacuumed the areas that Grant and I couldn’t get to because of boxes. Once we got to the last couple of items, I went and deep cleaned and wiped down as much as I possibly could. We had the penske, Grant’s truck, and my car ready and packed by 1:00pm. All of our help said bye and left while we went to the office to turn in our keys. We are so grateful for all of the help that we got especially since Austin isn’t that humid,but that Saturday it was. It just misted all day so it was pretty miserable. Right after turning in the keys, we went to Cedar Park, TX to Nick and Beth’s house to shower before we left on our trip.
