Several weeks ago I built a flower and herb box for our balcony, installed hooks for our bikes, and just generally cleaned the damn thing up so we have somewhere to sit and relax when the weather is nice. I think, at this point, it’s pretty much done.
Can you guess which balcony is ours?

I’ve been living with this girl for 174 days now. Crazy.
But you know what? It doesn’t even feel like it.
Our days go by like two best friends who are just hanging out all the time. We don’t argue, we don’t fight. We’re a team and we work towards goals. It’s not often that we get to do very many spectacular things (at least not like we did in Oregon) — we’re been busier than we were then. But it works, because no matter what, we have each other. We’re going to travel when I’m done with school, and build a house, and start a farm and not be in debt to anybody. If I told you how much money we’ve already saved up in just 6 months you wouldn’t even believe me (trust me, you wouldn’t)… and that doesn’t even count the money that we already used to pay off our 5-figure student loans.
We have plans, and we’re doing it. BFF!
I’m so so so lucky…

I’m heading back to Raleigh with a car full of the essentials.

I joined the Freecycle Network recently.
Basically, it’s a list of email groups (by city, state, and/or country) where you can give away things that you don’t want anymore. I signed up for the Macon, GA list because it’s where my mom lives and she’s got a TON of junk in her house.
In the last 24 hours I’ve given away:
- 5 chairs
- 1 rocking chair
- 1 foot stool
- 2 bunk beds
- Old military clothes
- Computer programming books
- An old Japanese floor mat
- Boy Scout memorabilia
- 1 artificial Christmas tree
- Old croquet set
- Antique indoor lighting fixtures
- 3 camera tripods
- 1 microwave
- 1 toaster oven
- 1 electric waffle maker
YAY!!!
You should join it too.
