Things I Forgot...

With the busyness and excitement of listing the duplex, I forgot to mention a couple things...

We went to the OKC Thunder game on Monday with my parents, Casey (Whitney's boyfriend), and Jonathan Small. So fun! Even though the Thunder is totally horrible, the atmosphere was still positive and the crowd was active. The Ford Center was even close to being full. Thanks Mom and Dad! We will look forward to more Thunder games to come!

I got my hair cut yesterday. Short. It looks really cute though. I love my hair lady. She is the only person who has ever (seriously, ever) made my hair look presentable. :) Pictures of my new hair cut to come as well.

On The Market

Someone come and buy our duplex! :) We have been ready to list the duplex for a month, but have been waiting for our bathroom vanity tops to arrive. After talking with our realtor, we decided to cancel the vanity tops. We both feel good about this decision, and we're really excited to see what happens. Cross your fingers for a sale!

Weekend In Review

Nothing too exciting went on this weekend, but here's a recap...
  • Changeling. This movie is so disturbing and strange, though it was well-written, acted, directed, etc. Landon and I were bothered by some of the movie scenes. Some scenes were SO graphic. I'm sure that they think they needed all the graphic scenes, but we would have been fine for them to not show the man being hung or the children's bones being dug up. See, I told you it was too graphic.
  • Our bathroom vanity tops have still not arrived. I'm about to karate chop Crane bathroom company. Neither of our vanity tops are standard size, so we had to custom order them. Unfortunately, our only options now are waiting (they are 3+ weeks overdue) or leaving them as they are. I guess I will have to be patient.
  • We changed out our heinous old thermostat for a newer digital thermostat. So easy and inexpensive. And, it looks so good. I'm glad I married a handyman. :)
  • Landon beat me at Battleship again, and again, and again.
  • We didn't watch any football this weekend! This is a record for our household.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and that your week is off to a great start!

The Results Are In...

Landon passed his BIG test last night!!! Wahoo! He is officially a home inspector.

I am so proud of him. :) He left a job that was very good, to pursue something that he has always wanted to do. I don't think leaving a stable job is always easy, especially for men. He prayed and planned and researched before making the big move. AND, he studied diligently for months for his big test. I seriously couldn't be more proud and happy for him.

He is incredibly talented in the area of home remodeling, and we feel like the home inspector position will fit right in with his big overall plan.

Yay for Landon!!!

(Don't worry, Julie is my favorite youngest sister.)

Tis The Season...

I made these yummy looking pancakes with the Crate and Barrel pancake mold. I'm so domestic. :) Not really. I seriously probably threw away 3-4 pancakes before these kind of/sort of turned out. At least they tasted good! I know everyone will be lining up at the Hubbart front door for pancakes as the holidays arrive.

Boston Trip

We LOVE Boston! What a fun trip! We both agree that Boston is our #1 favorite big city. We had 4 really busy days, and I'm pretty sure that we covered every major destination in Boston (plus lots more). Some places we visited: Boston Commons, North End (Little Italy), Harvard, MIT, Copley Square and Newberry Street, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, Charles River Esplanade, Fanueil Hall and Quincy Market, Bunker Hill (also know as Stairmaster from Hell or Bunker Hell...names we gave it after climbing 294 stairs to the top of the monument), USS Constitution, Fenway Park, Trinity Church (and lots of other pretty churches), and everything else along the Freedom Trail. Here are a few pictures of our trip (we didn't get the camera out often because it was super cold)...
