I've been waiting for something before updating our blog.  But really, lots happens all the time, I just don't sit down to write it.  And then I think, 'Well, once I put the pictures on the computer I'll do it.'  Then I don't. Then the stories pile up and I don't want to start because I'm, afraid I'll forget a good story.  So I'm starting now!

So here is a little of what we've been doing:

 Evan has been watching College Football, and the US Open while playing The Legend of Zelda.  I came home one Saturday to this.

 We bought Dominion!  We have definitely missed game nights, and our friends in Richmond.  Evan traded in a bunch of his super nintendo games and got a surprising amount of store credit.  So we were able to get Dominion as well as TWO new Wii games.  Exciting.

 I've been baking- a lot.  Here is a carrot cake I made. From scratch. 

 It was delicious too.  This is an after dinner shot.  (We had the missionaries over, so don't think we ate that all by ourselves.  Though I would have.)

 And some cupcakes I made.  Again from scratch.  With buttercream icing.  I didn't like the icing, too light or something.  I prefer the thicker sweeter frostings. But still good.  Those would be vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate.  And it was a good excuse to use the cupcake stand we got for our wedding.  

 The biggest news since our last update?  WE HAVE FURNITURE!  We were waiting and waiting for the funding and to find something we loved- because, we plan to keep it for at least the next five years.  Hopefully longer.  And guess what?  I even did before, during, and after pictures.

I'll say, having furniture turns the whole place around.  All of the sudden we have a home, not a room.
