Today was a good day

James here. Well, I guess its my turn - my first offical posting to the chips n pop blog. I voted today....early. I felt good about this. I don't know why, but I felt like i won a prize after I cast my ballot. Maybe its because I feel excited that G.W. is finally leaving office; maybe its because it seems possible that Obama just might pull this off; or maybe its because I got out of work early and got to spend more time with Meryl. Yeah...I think it is a combo of all three. Today's a good day -

Stuff and Apartment Life

We're so excited to have STUFF! Even just the garbage can was exciting for us. I think it was the first thing we both were grateful for. It took us a long time to unpack most things, and we still have things in boxes! It was exciting to open our new appliances and wedding gifts we hadn't seen yet. The first thing we hung on the wall was our very own Gary Eckenweiler print! We're starting to buy furniture and other decorative things and hopefully soon we'll have a meatball dinner for our Houston peeps.
Since I've been home alone with Otis a lot, I get to see what interests him. He likes being the nosy neighbor and watching what's happening outside our apartment. I also have time to watch him sleep...

I guess it's too hot for doggie blankets in Houston.
