Home Sweet Home

I'm happy to announce that Kyle and I are buying a house!!!


Well, a future house. It will look similar to this one (same floor plan), except with a 3-car garage:

Closing is scheduled for June 9th, assuming construction is finished. It's located less than 2 miles from our current apartment in Johnston (even closer to work than I already am!). We are VERY excited, and already starting to go through our stuff and take unused things to the Goodwill that we don't want to put in our new house.

Sometime in the next couple weeks we will be going to the "design center" to pick out which carpet, light fixtures, granite, hard wood, etc. that we want. Oh the decisions ahead!!

Breakfast of Champions

No, not Wheaties. Much more exciting. I'm very much on the breakfast sandwich kick lately.

I toasted an english muffin.
Fried and egg white.
Topped it with a slice of 2% american cheese and a Morningstar sausage patty.

And when I'm feeling too lazy to make it myself.....

What a Bargain

I hardly ever buy anything regular price, but even I was impressed with myself for finding this deal!

I went shopping tonight, mainly out of boredom (I have been sick for 2 days and had to get out of the house). Since Kyle and I will be homeowners this summer and we will have a lot to buy for a new house, I didn't really plan on buying much, if anything. But then I went into The Limited and saw this shirt:
I immediately loved the color, but I would never pay the original price of $34.90 for it. It was on sale for $24.43. Plus I had a coupon they had mailed me for $15 off any purchase, so it came out to be $10! I was pretty excited. If you shop at The Limited and don't receive their coupon mailings, I highly suggest you sign up here.

The Perfect Shirt

I have recently come across the best workout shirt I have found, to date:

It's Nike's new "Legend" Tee. It is made of a Dri-fit material that wicks away moisture. It is also plenty long (I don't know about you but I hate short shirts!) And it is very reasonably priced at only $22. It comes in several nice colors, but of course, I got the green :) So far I have seen them at Sports Authority and Dick's Sporting Goods, but I'm sure they are sold at most sporting goods stores.
