This is what happens when you work at a bar...

Blah blah blog.

I haven't blogged in a while because I have no new pictures to share and no big news. I feel a little intimidated by all of these awesome bloggers, but most people have the one-up on me by having kids. So I'm not too discouraged to keep my blog up and running. One day it will be glorious...

The only news I have is that I landed a new job. I'm waitressing at this college bar. It's okay, nothing to write home about, or in this case, blog about.

That is all.

I dare you to find a bigger bird on your ledge...

Snow!

The night before last we got 6 inches of snow. It was so beautiful to see, especially because I have never been in that much snow before. The only problem is that we live up a hill/mountain and don't have snow tires on our cars. CJ did have a pair of snow chains that he put on his truck so that he could go to work. I still can't drive around, because there is a lot of ice now and so CJ wants me to stay at home where it's safe. I'm not too unhappy about that though :) Here are a few pics, the first one is right when it started to snow and the rest are after.Oh, and the best part of it, and one of my favorite moments living up here, was of this video. There were 5 deer walking around behind our house, so I went outside to take pictures, and decided to try to feed them. And they let me feed them 3 apples! They came right up to our deck where I was throwing the apples off. It was awesome! The video is choppy and horrible, oh and for some reason whenever I am around or see a cute animal I talk like a moron, but it's still cute.

Christmas tree fiasco

So since I have been so good about not spending money on things we don't need, i.e. clothing, makeup, etc., it was agreed that I deserved a Christmas tree. So with a $15 budget, we went out and found a great tree. Now when we were packing up our cars to move up here, the only thing that I couldn't bring was my fake tree. I did manage to bring all of my decorations, including my fake tree stand. This being said, when we got our tree we thought we would be able to use the fake tree stand for our real tree. We were wrong, well, sorta. Handyman CJ cleverly managed to Jerry-rig our tree up, drilling screws into the tree to hold it up, and it finally worked. The only problem was that the tree needs water, but we couldn't figure out a way to keep a bowl of water under our [barely standing] tree. So now a week later our tree is brown and has lost it's smell. And I have lost my job (yes, I've already been laid off!) so we will have to make do with a dead tree for the rest of the month. CJ said it reminds him of Charlie Brown, so he's not all too unhappy with it.

Turkey Day! (minus the turkey)

This year CJ and I couldn't make it out to Vegas to be with family for Thanksgiving, but we made the best of it and decided to try and cook by ourselves. Instead of turkey we used cornish game hens, because we didn't need a big turkey, and also because they were only 2 bucks each. We made all the usual side dishes though, and it was delish! Even though we didn't get to spend the holiday with our family, it turned out to be a great day. I've decided that I actually am grateful for being here in Eugene. Yeah it's all new to me and a bit lonely at times(well only when I'm at home by myself), but CJ and I have really been able to focus on us. Not everyone gets the opportunity to get up and move to a new place, so I'm thankful that we were.

Honey, I'm home!

So yesterday was my first day at my new job. I am working for a property management company, which is just what I was looking for, because that was my favorite part of my last job. Yesterday also happened to be CJ's day off, so he got his first day all by himself! I was so surprised when I got home! As I walked through the door, I was greeted by my handsome fiance, saying "Welcome home, Baby!". Then he took me over to the table (well breakfast bar, we haven't bought a table yet) where I feasted on a delicious meal! He even gave me a choice of wine or juice (the beer is his of course). I could really get used to this ;)
