My greatest weaknesses are books. You trap me in a room with a good book, and I am lost to the world for however many hours that book has me enthralled.

So to Jared’s dismay, last year I fell head over heels for the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. She’s got to be my new favorite author (basically adding her to the list of my other top favorite authors). So imagine my pleasure and hearthrobbing when I checked her website today….

And the cover and a teeny part of the first chapter have just come OUT!

Ahhh! Thank you Stephenie Meyer and Co!

Thank you for all sharing my inner teenage girl-ness.

Yes. The Twilight Series and The Host have infiltrated my very soul. I am hopelessly in love… (but don’t worry Jared, I still love you, too!)

I figured we have been here in Texas long enough that I should put some pictures up.  So here we go.

This is the view of our balcony from outside the apartment. Our front door is pretty boring, so no pictures there.

Here’s the kitchen before I put stuff in it (still working on that organization thing).

Here’s the dining room, to the right of the kitchen. We’re still trying to figure out what to do with the back wall- Thinking about a mirror or a bright, happy picture of sorts. Any ideas out there?

In the right of the dinning room picture, you can see there’s the little computer desk space. we didn’t know what to do with the shelf above, but then we went to Ikea and found this to use:

Last but not least, the living room!

And just for fun, here’s the cake I made for Jared’s birthday. It’s not as pretty as the one i made as his grooms cake, but it was a last minute surprise. 🙂
