What the HECK?!?!

Just this week, it was in the mid-50s and even a little spring rain fell! We got a light thundershower on Saturday morning, I have been going out with little more than a light jacket, and all the snow had disappeared! Most of it was already gone for a few weeks already, but it was starting to really really feel and smell like spring was coming.

This morning, I heard Jon open the front and back doors, utter a few obscenities, and then yell from the kitchen, "Amber! You better look out the window!!"

Oh. My. God.

( MERRY CHRISTMAS!...??? )

The house Jon likes

This is the house Jon likes: Clicky

We drove by this on Sunday. It's a beautiful area, very "nature-y" and stuff. I think Jon is most gung-ho about the 4-stall garage - hah. I think he is going to email this to Angela so we can look inside it next weekend.

A few things concern me about it, though. It is older - most of the other houses we've seen have been built in the 90s, with a few in the 70s or 80s, too. It is in Forest Lake, MN, and we used the odometer on the way home to find out that it is about 25 miles from my work. Bleh. Yes, I know plenty of people commute into the cities from much further away than that, and I won't be at this job forever anyway, but it would still take a lot of getting used to. According to Google, the CLOSEST Target store is 10 miles away from Forest Lake. AAAUGH!! What would I do without a Target every 2 blocks?!? I don't know if I could survive!

The good news is that Jon is very handy around the house, of course, and would be able to do a lot of maintenence and fixing-up if necessary, which would save a lot of money if repairs had to be done... I really liked the gigantic 2-level deck overlooking the pond and golf course... I don't really like all those trees that were around it, but at least they were not totally crowding the house and "yard" - I have to put it in quotes because 2.8 acres is a little more than a "yard" - heheh.

Well, I'll be eager to see what it's like inside. Will probably mention something about it next week.

Enneagram of Personality

It's interesting, I'll give it that... but isn't it suspiciously a lot like a horoscope? I only had to answer two questions.

/skeptical (haha, how fitting)

But anyway, here's what I got:
