New Couch!

We got a new couch on Tuesday, and its beautiful! Check it out...


Lets talk about the weekend: Josh and I went to a Rodney Atkins concert thanks to Josh's Mom's Friend, Julie. Heres a great picture of them, as you can tell we took advantage of the free beer with the VIP passes.



It was Jen's Birthday!! We had a nice sushi lunch at a new spot near town center called Fire Ninja. Pretty fancy inside and the lunch was yum-O.


One of our friends came into town from Tucson Arizona, John Collera and his GF Denise. No pictures of the event but we had lunch on Sunday at Bakers Crust and talked about how Josh and I should not move to Arizona since its filled with old people. Little do they know that I LOVE old people. Hopefully John can get relocated and they can move closer!

That was a fun-filled weekend at home in Virginia Beach, this weekend will be just as fun since its WINTER FAM JAM 2009. Im going to start packing tonight!

1 More Week

There's exactly 1 week left until we hit the slopes for our 2009 Winter Fam-Jam at Massanutten. Maine and I decided we couldn't wait, so we hit Wintergreen last Sunday for a night sessh, that's session in case you aren't down with the lingo.


And Josh was there too, Skiing. He ordered some skis online and has been glued to the UPS tracking site praying they will come in by Friday.

We've been talking about this trip for 2 months and I'm glad its just around the corner. A house full of family, good eats and snow riding activities...who wouldnt be excited?

Painting Party

This past Saturday we had an impromptu Painting Party! We accomplished ALOT. Josh's fam jam came up and helped us tackle the downstairs bathroom, upstairs bedroom, and the kitchen. Though at first Josh and I weren't sure about all the colors we chose, ultimately I think it really helps brighten/warm up the house. I'll post before and after photos soon, (Ive got to clean up a little, its so embarrassing how dirty we are).

Told You I Was Going To Start A Blog...

Hi Friends.
I finally did it, I started a blog! Now the hard parts over, I bet now you'll want to know what this blog all about. Well, you'll find all sorts of randomness that occupies my life along with my very VERY very good friend, Joshua's life.
A little background might help us hit the ground running on this blog thing. After a year of living in Richmond, VA in a converted trolley station loft apartment, Joshua and I purchased our first home together on December 30th, 2008 and moved in on New Year's Eve. Stressful? Yes, but it was an exiting way to start the new year! Our goal is to make this house into OUR HOME. We don't plan on living here forever and our renovating funds are limited but thats where creativity comes in.
Our journey includes lots of people so I finally put one of my ideas from my idea book (thanks Jess!) into motion and started this blog, better yet, our life's paper trail. Enjoy the bumpy ride!
Love,
MJ & JT
