Since we've been back...
- We've indulged in Ikea a little too much. The downfall of living close, but our house is finally furnished.
- We finally have our own place.
- Hal started his grueling program and I became an "accounting program widow," as they call us.
- I started my new job
- We bought our first ever nice tv (Hal justified it as a school expense since he can use it as another computer monitor)
- We used a dishwasher for the first time in a year and a half
- We dried our clothes for the first time in a year and a half
- We celebrated 4 years of Marriage
- We had an amazing getaway for our anniversary
- We went on a beautiful fall hike
- I went to see our newest tiny baby niece in Colorado
- I went to Mesa Verde National Park and saw ancient cliff dwellings (More on that soon)
- We drove in snow for the first time in what seems like forever
- Oh, we drove a car for the first time in what seems like forever
- We oggled over clothes and furniture and gadgets and lots of expensive things we can't afford, but still love to oggle at since we haven't seen them to oggle over in a long time.
- We endlessly say "This costs how much? I Cambodia I could get that for $2!"
- Hal had to finally put on clothes and stop wearing his kroma around the house, because it got too cold.
- We use our kitty as a heater when our apartment gets cold.
- We've relished living in the land of plenty
- We've missed Cambodia
- I've started dreaming in Khmer
- Acorn squash quesadillas
- Spaghetti squash as spaghetti with homemade sauce and turkey meatballs
- Tomato Basil Bisque
- Parson's (My favorite bakery) sugar cookies
- Kneader's raspberry bread pudding
- Homemade cinnamon rolls
- Yummy Pesto Chicken
- Homemade Tacos for days
- Lots of Halloween candy
- Pop that doesn't taste as good with all that nasty crap they only put in it, in America
- Homemade tortillas MMMMMMM

the things have you eaten sounds great, acorn squash quesadillas sign me up and i am always a sucker for homemade cinnamon rolls
Yay for Hal being able to donate plasma! (Bummer that he couldn't refer me, but what can ya do?). I will warn you though--once you've started, it's hard to stop. Probably because I just think to myself, "Sure I already have a full-time job. But if I don't go, it's like I'm just throwing away $65 a week. So I pretty much HAVE to go."
It's addicting.
Oh man, you should share some of your Ikea finds!
I have a friend who said "if I lived near an Ikea I would never wash dishes, I would use them, throw them out and buy new ones" lol I'm not a huge Ikea fan but I do love having a browse through the store. And I definitely get what you mean about the food and gorging when you have the opportunity! Wishing you a great week xoxox
There's so much for me to say to all of this, but first.. KNEADER'S!! I miss that place so much :( I'm jealous you guys have a kitty. Aaand I hope you guys had a wonderful 4 year anniversary! I'm glad you guys are adjusting to being back :)
You just made me really hungry...STOP IT!!!! :D
It's funny how comforting all that first world stuff can be. Not necessary, but comforting, right? Enjoy drying your clothes!
Congrats on landing a job!!! Um... I love ikea!!!
