Settling In

OK, it has been a couple of weeks since my last post and I must say that I think I am getting used to the small town life (a little bit). I have now adjusted my thinking to the fact that we just have to save all of our errands for Saturday and make a day of it, which is exactly what we did this last Saturday. We went to "the city" on Saturday to take care of all of our errands at once. Sidenote, Tore' really cracks up when I say that we went to "the city". She thinks it is absolutely hilarious. Anyway, "the city" is actually Oklahoma City and it is about and hour and a half from us so it really is a trip when we go. We left the house about 10 and didn't get home until almost 9pm. We hit all the high points though. We went to Target and Linens & Things to spend some leftover wedding money. Then we went to the mall for Jim to get a chair massage. This is his reward for being a patient shopper...ha ha ha. We also went to Sam's for Jim to spend his birthday money. He got a whole shelving unit and workbench set for the garage. He was very happy. Then, of course, we had to do the dreaded grocery shopping on the way home. The nearest Super Walmart is about 30 miles away so we had to hit it on the way home and by that time we were both wasted and not the best shoppers but we still managed to come out of Walmart much poorer than we went in. How does one end up spending much more at Walmart than you really intend to? Oh, well, part of it is I am still not used to doing big grocery shopping. I have to think in terms of 2 to 3 week intervals now...that is hard! Anyway, we made it home just in time to relax on the couch for a while before bedtime. We are so not night owls...we are always in bed by 10. You would think we were old or something, oh wait, we are.

On Sunday, we worked on the house some...I finally feel like I live there. All the suitcases and boxes are unpacked (for now - until the next load from Dallas). Tore' is coming for a visit this weekend to help me decorate...YEA!!! Then it will really feel like home. So, I guess you could say we are settling in to married life quite well and I am adjusting to the country just fine.

I am going to try to work on the pictures this weekend (when my computer guru sister is visiting so she can help) so hopefully I will have some pictures posted next week. Better get back to work now. Love to all!
