Yay for exciting news! We will be closing on our house on my birthday, Friday, January 15.
SO great! We'll have a full 2 weeks to move out of our apartment until the contract expires.
VERY cool. Couldn't ask for a better birthday gift!

Schnorkie
I want a puppy.
Not just any puppy.
I want THIS puppy!
Say hello to a Schnorkie. Half yorkie, half schnauzer.
And I want to name him, "Mr. Smith".
But he's not allowed to wear tie-dye.

We are moving!
Kent and I are in the process of buying a 3 bed, 2-1/2 bath townhome in Salt Lake City. We are SO excited and just can't wait to get into our new place. The townhome is still under construction, but will be completed mid-January.
We swooped in at the right time; just in time to pick out all of the materials for our townhome, including flooring (laminate hardwood; tile; carpet), paint colors, granite countertops, cabinetry, light fixtures, hardware, etc. I'm so nervous to see how it all comes together!!
So, we are expecting to be moving in a month or less. Now that you have the background, here is a conversation Kent and I had over IM today (girls, I think you will laugh -- I was laughing; it was that or tell Kent that he gets to make dinner!):
Ginger: What do you want for dinner?
Kent: What do we have?
Ginger: Well, I'll be going to Smith's marketplace and can pick up ingredients.
We are pretty darn low on ingredients. We have 1 chicken breast, some shallots, some beans, eggs ... so what do you feel like?
Kent: We want to be low on ingredients; we're moving soon.
Ginger: I know dear, but we still need to eat ... for another month actually.
Kent: Right. Do we have anything we can eat at home already?
Ginger: Dear, we are scraping the bottom of the barrel. I'd rather be scraping the bottom of the barrel at the end of the month instead of right now.
Kent: So what's all the junk on our shelves? Should we just toss all that stuff?
Ginger:
No, but those are ingredients to a meal; not the makings of a meal. You can't make a meal out of a can of beans and honey.
The funny part about this is that I'm sure I could stir some beans and honey together for dinner and that would be just fine with Kent. However, I'm a little more high-maintenance. That's the difference between girls and boys. :)
Oh -- and I decided to make chicken fajitas. Fajitas will get rid of the beans in the cupboard, the tortillas and tomatoes in the fridge, and the lone chicken breast in the freezer. I still have to go to the store to get some peppers and lettuce.

Utah State Capitol Dome
Yesterday I had the opportunity to do an absolutely crazy thing ... I climbed through the bowels of the Utah State Capitol dome! It was amazing, and completely scary.
We climbed crazy steep stairs (probably 6 stories up or so), and after I was through it wasn't my legs that were shaky but my arms from holding on to the rails so tightly! Had I known what I was getting myself into, I may not have gone (for rational purposes knowing what a klutz I am - I should have fallen to my death).
It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I'm so glad I had that rare opportunity.
Here are some pictures of the view. Enjoy!
Oh, and my name my or my not be now written on the inside of the Capitol dome...
