Toilet Papered

Er... Saturday night Matt & I walk out to find toilet paper strung around our house... who was culprit? Well, not too many people know where we live. Kim, Matt's sister, was just over with some friends and so we thought it was them, but she swears it wasn't her. My sister was out with some friends, so we thought possibly she was the one toilet papering her own house. (We live with Aline my sister.) However, she also swears she was not the one. So who did it?

Creepy.....

New House!

We are going on week 2 of our new home.

It's kind of crazy to think of yourself as a home owner. It's not the fact that I am actually living in a house, as much as it's the fact I owe the bank LOTS of money. It's hard to fathom that my "good" name is attached to so much debt. I do mean good debt, right? Regardless... I'm in the hole quite a bit. Spare change anyone? ;)

The house hasn't had anyone in it for probably 10 to 12 months. There are some pipes that need adjusting, electrical that needs adjusting, toilets that need adjusting, sinks that need adjusting... the list continues. Matt has been pretty handy about trying to fix things himself. He has his Home Depot book which explains to do pretty much anything and he has Google which can also pretty much tell you had to do anything with perspectives and advice from loads of other people as well. Matt is absolutely excellent at using his resources!

Random Fact: Toilet Paper


Random Fact: December 30, 2010 was the first time, since we've been married, that we've had to purchase toilet paper.

I know it sounds really odd, but it's true. When we got married some friends of ours thought it would be nice to give us something we could really use. So they gave us those huge sets of toilet paper you can buy at Costco. Also, I think my Mom bought us some toilet paper as well for our new home. Two or three weeks ago we were about out, but then Matt won some toilet paper at a white elephant exchange. Unfortunately, we ran out of our huge supply December 30, 2010. That supply has lasted us the 17 months we have been married!

Quite honestly, the toilet paper we were given as a wedding present, was quite useful. :)
