Update on us

So now that I'm caught up on the trip that we took 2 months ago(what an awesome blogger I am) it's time to dish what we've been up to in our neck of the woods as of late.
A few weeks after we got back from Utah we moved into a bigger apartment!  Hooray for all the space!  I'm seriously loving it!  I am so grateful to our amazing friends who helped us out with moving all of our shtuff and who watched Lucy so we could be quick and efficient.  We knocked out all of the actual moving in an hour and a half!  Not too shabby I'd say.  The unpacking all of the boxes, however, is still a work in progress.  I promise we will soon have all the decorations put up and all the knick knacks organized and put away and then I can take some pictures and give ya'll a virtual tour.
My SIL dyed my hair brown the day before I left Utah.  It took me about a week and a half before I decided I liked it.  I wish I had a picture of it all cute and done up but I don't so too bad for you.  Most days my hair ends up in a ponytail. :)
Trey has started school again.  He just finished his first test a few weeks ago and it went well.  Second year has been so much easier to deal with, probably because I know what to expect this time around.  It's also nice because Lucy is a lot more independent than she was a year ago (3 months old).  Yep, my girl is now 15 months old!  And I'm counting down the days until she can go into Nursery.  3 more months, wahoo!  Church has become quite a chore with our little busy body.  She always just wants to be up and exploring and chasing her little boy friends in the halls.  Lucy has lots of little boys her age that she likes to play with.  More on Lucy in a later post...
Trey built himself a desk!  It turned out awesome!  I'm so proud of my honey's mad skillz.
The desk is made up of a piece of plywood and 2 filing cabinets.  I love the way it turned out, I especially love that Trey chose to stain it so you can see the cool wood grain.  Now he has something to study on at home which means we get to see him more!  That is definitely a plus.
I can't think of anything else we've been up to really.  Just getting settled in our new nest.  Oh I shut my finger in the car door on Sunday, that was quite eventful I guess.  I can't believe how bad it hurt!  What's worse was I had been fasting all day so I had nothing in my stomach.  I kind of started going into shock because my finger looked disgusting!  I put ice on it, ate some food, took 800 mg of ibuprofen, and sprawled out on the couch praying the pills would kick in soon.  Once they did it wasn't so bad.  Here is a picture of it now...
It still feels pretty numb and weird.  The tip is all red because a bunch of my capillaries burst.  Nothing is broken though, thank heavens!
I've been feeling all crafty lately so I've been working on a few projects that will hopefully be done soon so more on that later.
So that's it for now.  Sorry if we're boring, we'll try to be more exciting in the coming month.
