I'm addicted to the internet these days. Without a job it's easy to get hooked. With that said, I have been looking through different blogs of people I don't know. (This might be creepy to some, but I enjoy reading about other people) Anyway, someone had a post that I thought was interesting so I decided to add it to mine.
Pay It Forward:
The first 3 people to leave a comment on this (my) post will receive a hand made gift from me during this year. When and what will be a surprise.
There's a small catch...You knew there would be didn't you? Post this on your blog then come back and leave a comment, telling me you're in. Fun, huh? Remember, only the first 3 comments receive the gift.
It seemed like a fun game and I love making things and being creative so I figured I might have an excuse to do so now :)

Apartment Pictures
We finished a few rooms. There still isn't much furniture, but it feels a little more complete now. The first picture is the outside obviously and the next few are the living room. The last couple are the kitchen/dining area. We're still working on everywhere else.

Scrapbooking
I just had a question for anyone who does actually stumble upon my blog. I enjoy being able to scrapbook as a hobby, but I would like to start doing it as part time work. If anyone knows someone looking to have their family's memories creatively captured I'd love to branch out. I posted a few basic pages that I've done for Quinn's nieces book. The pictures don't show as much detail as I'd like but it's all I have to show at this time. Let me know if you're interested and I can give you more information. Thanks!

YAY FOR QUINN!!
So yesterday Quinn officially started work and got his platoon. He's in charge of 1st Platoon, Crazy Horse Troop (The Raider Platoon). I don't really understand all of it, but that's what Quinn said I should put. I don't have any fun pictures to post or anything but YAY for him anyway.
*on a side note, all our household goods finally got here and we are officially moved in. we don't really have anything to take pictures of since the living room has a light, couch, and table and the dining room doesn't even have that. when we are able to furnish a little better i promise i'll take pictures.

Boyfriend Tag* (modified slightly from husband tag)
1. Where we met - Miami, FL.
2. Our First Date - We didn't really have a first date. We met in Miami and went out to a bar with his friends and mine. He told me that I was going to be his partner for pool and if we won then we had to get married. We won and a few weeks later he sent me a big, fake ring in the mail.
3. How long did we date before we were married? We're still dating!
4. How long have we been Hitched? - Not hitched but we've been dating for just about 3 years now
5. Favorite Feature - I'm with Kelli on this one. People think it's the eyes that first attracted me to him, but I liked something that's a little weird. He has an awesome face shape and jaw line. It's just really pronounced. Haha I'm a dork
6. Favorite Quality - He's a know it all. If I'm in a mood it'll get to me but usually it's just funny to see him try to justify EVERYTHING
7. His nickname for me - Honey, dork
8. His Favorite Color - Blue
9. His Favorite Sport - He is obsessed with baseball. He'll watch almost anything but you better not expect to touch the remote during baseball season
10. Who Said I Love You first - He did. Actually he wrote it on a piece of paper and held it up the the web cam when we were still doing the long distance thing. He was so embarrassed afterward!
11. Our First Kiss when and where - At the airport the first time he came to see me. It was just about 2 months after we first met
12. Favorite couple thing to do - Quinn's favorite things are tickling me, watching movies, and making fun of me. My favorite things, however, are doing new and different things with him. I love trying something neither of us has tried before. It makes it really fun!
13. His Hidden Talent - He can cook. It's a hidden talent because he hardly ever does it haha. He has his own little stir fry recipe and everything
14. His Favorite Music - He likes all yelling music. I appreciated driving cross country in a separate car for that reason alone. He'll appease me with some Jack Johnson or country from time to time too.
15. What I admire most about him - He knows exactly what he wants to do with his life. He goes for what he wants and will usually get it.
16. His favorite pastimes - sportscenter, reading, the occasional card game with me, and hanging out with bubba
17. Will he read this? - Only if I make him :)

So I decided to post a few pictures of our place. There really isn't much to look at right now except a new carpet because all the furniture and stuff hasn't arrived yet and may not arrive until Feb 2. Good news though: Today is the first SUNNY day, and I'm enjoying every minute of it!!! I will post more pictures as soon as I have something to take a picture of :)

Updates from the past month
Quinn had a dining in the day before his graduation. I couldn't go, but I took a picture of him in uniform before he left.
We were in New Jersey for Christmas. Christmas Eve we spend with my dad's family and Christmas Day is always at my house with both sides of the family coming and going.
Allison, Me, Mom, Erin, Aunt Marguerite, Grandma Millie

Me, Quinn
After Christmas we drove from NJ to Utah. It didn't take as long as I thought, but it was brutal. We stayed in one of the ski towns in Colorado the last night. It was a really cute area with outlet stores! Too bad we didn't have time to look around.
We spent New Years at Amber's inlaws house (Quinn's sister). There weren't as many people as I thought, but still enough! We had a really good time playing games and eating lots of food! (I have a picture, but blogger is being stubborn)
We went sledding with Quinn's family on New Years Day and it was pretty fun. We've had the opportunity to hang out with a bunch of friends over the past two weeks. We leave Wednesday for Washington. Time to settle down. I'm pretty tired of living out of a suitcase.
