Welcome to Casa De King

Does that make any sense? Anyway, we got a house and my title is supposed to say "Welcome to the King House!" We move in Jan. 2 2009! What a perfect way to start off a new year. I'm so looking forward to 09! New house and our little miracle will be here. It's so funny because Troy and I have been talking about moving out into our own place (we found out I was pregnant in August and we said we've move in Jan.) Well, the day after Thanksgiving we went to Fresno to start getting stuff for a house (even though at that point we didn't have a house picked out. well, on the way to Fresno, I seen a cute house off the side of the road, for rent! I didn't say anything to Troy at that point.. on the way home I told him to look at it and asked him what he thought. We called the next day to set up an appt to go see it. We loved it! Although it was pretty dang messy and needed a good cleaning, we knew it had great potential! So, needless to say, we sign the lease and put down the deposit this Friday! The rent is cheap and the house is big.. and our favorite part - IT'S OUT IN THE COUNTRY!!!! No neighbors, just pure fields surrounding us. We love it! I can't wait to move in and start decorating and making it our little home!!!

Turning the heater on for the first time...

Okay, so I know other people out there can relate. You know how it starts to get cold in your home or office, but not yet cold enough for the heater, so you manage by just turning of the AC? K..well, today it got REALLY cold in my office, so we turned off the AC. We thought that'd be good enough. Well about 15 min ago we decided to turn on the heater just to take the chill away. OMG. Seriously. It smells like a dead animal has rotted away in the air ducts. All of its glorious smell has now entered MY office. It's disgusting. I'm pregnant - and anyone who has been pregnant knows their sense of smell is heightened by like 56 million times. So, in the event of us trying to keep warm, we now have an office that smells like a dead rodent and roses (because of my brilliant idea to spray Air Freshner). If you need insurance and come to Bacome, prepare to breath in nothing but nastiness. Oh, I've also defeated the WHOLE purpose of being warm by propping open the front door to air out the dead rodent smell. So, I love when a good idea in its beginnings sounds great, until it back fires.

EWWWW - that's all I have to say.
