98! 98! 98!

Just had to post a quick brag that I got a 98 on my marketing consumer behavior test! :) hehe

Vanessa's Halloween night in

So, I'm boring. haha. But I amuse myself well. :)

I really enjoyed my Halloween yesterday even though other people would have found it really boring. I worked in the morning, then my dad and Stepmom came over to the house. We talked for a while. Then I carved my pumpkin (I think dad still gets nervous when I use a knife, haha) into my attempt at a scary face. Erik said that even when I try to make things scary, I end up making them look happy, so I tried really hard to prove him wrong.

I think I was successful!

Then my roommate and I went to the store to make sure we had enough candy and also got some apple cider (well, we actually got apple juice and were going to get cinnamon sticks but forgot). So we had warm apple juice! Tasted good to me! We watched a scary show on TV about ghost hunting and then I watched Criminal Minds (I'd never seen it before, crazy stuff!). We passed out candy when the Trick-or-Treators came and loved seeing their cute costumes. We also set my jack-o-lantern in the window with other candles. I thought it looked pretty spooky!!

I throughly enjoyed my "boring" Halloween! :)

We're buying a house!!!!

We are buying a house!!! This house!!! :)

We absolutely love it! It is a 3 bed/ 2.5 bath house in Clarksville, TN. It is a short 5 minute drive to base for Erik and it's in a cute mostly military neighborhood on a circle. It is a newer house (great for us!) and has vaulted ceilings in the living room. The master with walk-in closet (yes!) and bath are on the main floor with the other 2 bedrooms and full bath upstairs. We love that it has newer black appliances in the kitchen and lots of ceiling fans and of course a garage!!! Now we can keep Erik's motorcycle out of the rain (and soon to be snow). Erik's excited to be able to work on his bike without having to put it all together again before dark and the bugs start attacking. We're also excited that Max will have a bigger yard to run around in! :)

This house is perfect for us and everything went smoothly with the offer, inspection and appraisal, now we're just waiting to close in less than 2 weeks.

I will add more pictures once we get our stuff moved in and I get to decorate. hehe.

Vanessa finally got a hair cut!!!

So, this is a little out of order, but oh well. When I got back to Arizona at the end of August I decided to get a major hair cut and donate the hair to Locks of Love. I have always had medium to long hair and was scared to death. But with Erik's encouraging and the thought that I was doing something good, I did it! Here's the results!

I really like it. :) Here's the 10 inches of hair I donated.
