we bought a house

Right before we got married, Mike and I found and bid on this house. A month and a lot of headaches later, we are set to close next week.

I am documenting our trials on a blog called Nesting Newlyweds. It will be more of a decorating blog as we move in.

Finding change

Back in June I challenged my now-husband to a contest to see who could find the most change on the street.

He won that month but I continued to look for change and have recorded my takings.

Contest month: June 2007: Mike $2.12 Vicki: $1.68
July: $1.62
August: $1.02
September: $0.73
October:$2.55
November: $2.93 (dimes were everywhere!)
December:$0.70

Total change found: $11.23 (not including Mike's $2.12)

Total: $10.53

hitched

Excuse my absence, I've been busy getting married! Details soon.

The November issue of Pack-o-Fun magazine features one of my earrings designs.



I can cross another thing off my list of things to do in 2007.

the winning breakfast

I managed to find a recipe for biscuits and gravy and fixed breakfast in bed for my honey last weekend.
Here's the proof:

(it doesn't look appetizing to me but I was told it was good)

In other news, we hit our goal to save $10,000 for the wedding! Very exciting.
