It seems I have been doing little but making up excuses as to why I'm not blogging. Truth be told: I haven't had very much alone/down time that has coincided with inspiration. 

First, my computer had an unfortunate run in with a cup of coffee.  Didn't work, submerged it in rice and now it does.  There is a DVD stuck in the drive but Internet and music still work. Le sigh, I should really be discouraged from owning nice things ;)

But the news of the week is the new condo! Last I updated you, we were talking about moving in together.  In the meantime J and I have hit some growing pains in our relationship, moved past them and signed a lease.  We now live in Teton Village, Wyoming.  For those of you who have never been to Jackson, let me try and give you an idea: 

okay.  Broadway is the main street. Town square is at the corner of Broadway and Cache. From Town, you go south on Broadway, take a right (up in the map) on 22 and head to the stop light, turn right and go about 6 miles to Teton Village. The Village, as it is more commonly referred to is centered around the ski hill.  There are some shops and restaurants, a few five star hotels, a bunch of rich people and some condos slightly off to the side.  I now reside in one of said condos.

This place is NICE! It's a vacation rental by summer- rented by the week.  By winter, it is ours! There are four of us living in this fabulous two bedroom, two bathroom condo- Me, Josh, our friend Bungee and Lady Elu.  Granted, three of us are sharing a room =).

We have a fire place, a wet bar, a separate dining room, kitchen with laundry off it, a gigantic balcony and best of all- it's ski-in.  We can pretty much cruise right up to the back steps. 

I promise I will have pictures up soon! Right now I'm just sitting here basking in it all while the boys drink beer on the porch.  

Anyway.  I PROMISE now that I am settled (and living with two boys who will inevitably win the battle on "what do we watch on TV") I will do more blogging.  I vow here and now to take more pictures and let my (two) faithful readers know what is going on in Teton Village and the rest of Jackson. 

Hope you have a great day!!!

Peace! 

First night..

...in the new house was AWESOME!!!!  Liz and I moved most of our stuff in early in the day, and unpacked as we went a long.  We moved a load from the truck and my car, unpacked boxes, then went into town to have some lunch and do a little thrift store shopping.  

We found a sleeper sofa for $35 at the Habitat For Humanity Re-Store. It's pretty ugly, but actually matches the living room a little 

After lunch and couch buying and whatnot- we cooked our first dinner at the new house (Stouffer's Lasagna salad and garlic bread) and had a bottle of campaign. Liz and I went to town briefly for a party, but didn't stay long at all and headed home by 10:30 to watch a movie and have some roommate time with Shane. 

Shane and I got up EARLY this morning and carpooled to town for work.  She had to be at work at 7 and I have to work at 8:45- (45 minutes left) so I'm sitting in the lobby of the Trapper Inn where Shane works.  If you're ever visiting Jackson, you should stay here. I don't know anything about the beds, but I can tell you that the couch in the lobby is DIVINE!!!

Okay, here's some more pics of the house. It was too dark when I finally unpacked my camera to take pics of the outside of the house and at 6:15 this morning, the sun was still not up, so I will have to wait and get landscaping pics later.

Downstairs living room:

Other half of downstairs living/rec room:

More pictures to come later. and I can't figure out how to keep the text from being underlined... so annoying.  

Hope everyone has a great day, I'm off to work in just a few minutes! (no Internet at the house yet, so bare with me).
