we're moving! to Lubbock! i'm super excited about this move, we'll move near Texas tech (no i'm not going to enroll, mom). right now we drive about 45 minutes to church, and about 40 minutes to work. one way. we spend way too much money on gas, and i'm afraid our cars are going to wear out. SOOOO we're spending $450 a month on this new place that's about 15 minutes from everything (including the its, my nephew).

it's got insulation, and a laundry room, and huge master bedroom and a walk-in closet big enough for both of us (we're both big pack rats when it comes to clothes). there's also lots of shelf space and a big double hang up clothes dealy in the laundry room. oh-oh-- and a coat closet, so you can come over when it's cold, and i'll take your coat and hang it in the closet by the front door. you have no idea (or maybe you do...) of the closet pains we went through in this old house, not to mention the freezing cold/blazing heat with the lack of insulation.

there's a chain-link fence in the front yard for the puppies, and one in the back too. i was afraid to leave them out there the whole time while we were at work (can't leave them inside for that long, they're growing and so is their poop) until today, when Colby mentioned the fact that there's a bolt lock on the wooden fence facing the alley, and if they wanted to get to the dogs, they'd have to go through the neighbor's yard where there are 2, sometimes 3 dogs that collectively weigh about 300 pounds, and don't look so friendly. don't tell anyone, but they are. this was a serious concern of mine, considering how fritzi was stolen. i think it was because he yapped a lot and the neighbors didn't like him. there's a lot of dogs around that part of the neighborhood, and so, contrary to most people's hesitation to move into such a yappy neighborhood, i'm always worried about my dog barking and pissing somebody off and them getting stabbed or poisoned or something horrible like that. if all the dogs are barking, i can sleep.
