Update!

Well, a lot has been happening. We don't have internet at our new place so I'm typing this now and I'll upload it later.

We actually decided we don't want internet. We don't ever do anything important, so it mostly wastes our time. There's useful stuff, like communication, checking information like bus times, and just any time you need to know something and want to look it up, but we can live without it. The clubhouse at our new apartment complex hosts a free channel so we can just walk over there and use it if we want to. Not having it in our house has made an improvement on our family. We spend more time with Odin, we cuddle more, we are together more, and we don't ignore each other. And really , we weren't spending much time on it before, but not having it here feels so liberating. It's really peaceful here without it.

Speaking of Odin, the poor guy has had a really bad virus lately. He's been coughing and had a runny nose, it's especially bad in the morning. He's getting better, but it's just been so nasty for him.

So we're all moved in to our new place. There's a few boxes still packed up but they're in closets so it isn't that big a deal. It looks like home. It's really a nice place. Our living room is bigger than our last one and has an air conditioner built in, the kitchen is just huge, there's plenty of storage with a laundry room that's as big as our old bedroom, and our new bedroom is bigger than our old living room and dining room combined. We sleep in one side and Odin has the entire other side as his huge play room. And there's a walk in closet as big as our old bathroom. Our roommate, Brandon, has a bedroom with a deck upstairs and a bathroom you could park a car in, and since he's upstairs it's like his own apartment so we don't have privacy issues or being in each others' faces to much.

We also can see the bus stop from our front door, it's literally 20 feet away, and it goes strait to U of O so we will have only 5 or 10 minutes of transit once school starts back up.

Odin has started spinning in place. It's really funny. He thinks its a game and he'll do it with you if you start to. He also likes to get on the Wii Balance Board and play the hula-hooping game on Wii Fit, even if the Wii isn't turned on....

We're all on break so we just get to hang out and have fun all day. We love our new place and we're having tons of fun!
