I just checked and it did, in fact, make national media! It took 4 pages of searching google to find that article, mind you. It also brought up every Oklahoma ice storm in the past! Living without electricity was weird. I didn't realize how much I took the constant hum and glow of electricity for granted. Basically, my family built a fire in our fireplace and huddled around it in the dark for warmth. It was between 30-40 degrees in my house by the second day. JT is still out of power. He is camping out on my parents' couch because his electrical box was ripped off the wall by a fallen tree. Our poor future house! It took my dad, brother, and him 5 hours yesterday to clean up the mess of tree branches in his yard!

I've been looking through some of my friends' pictures, particularly the newlyweds. One common theme I see: everyone has taste. They post pictures of their newly decorated houses, and I'm wondering where they found those cute prints? How did they know what drapes to pick out? More importantly, where did they get the money to finance all of those big spends? That got me thinking, I'm going to become domestic! We're going to have to save for bedroom furniture, and bathroom light fixtures, and countertop pottery for the kitchen. We're going to have to make his house into our first home.
I am going to be someone's wife and I couldn't be any more excited!

I really want to see that movie tooo! It was fun to see you tonight....and again and again and again the next few weeks!!! weeeeeeee! eek! love you!
My advice for filling your house for free is "REGISTER FOR EVERYTHING"...even down to furniture and TV. You never know what people will fo in on to get you. Seriously. Also, you'll be surprised what comes up in conversation and what people have to give for free that is very helpful. We've only paid for our couch and a desk...everything else was free. Oh, and Gift Cards go a long way... :)
I want to see that movie too.
