Good News, great memories, and transformation begins

Well we CLOSE ON WEDNESDAY!!! Finally we have some closure to the ever long home loan process. It has been a long time coming and Puffin and I are so thrilled. (as soon as we can get pictures up I will post them) Here is the outside of what we will SOON call home!

Last night Puffin took me to a wonderful steak dinner at Texas Roadhouse- we always talk about going there but haven't had time to actually "go on a date" in about 2 months it seems like. So we went, I had fillet he impressed our waiter by finishing the largest bone in something steak smothered in cheese and mushrooms and onions. The waiter said "wow you finished it" like he was surprised- I started thinking to myself he would really be impressed if he knew what his old "football" eating habits were.


This brings us to the memories:

When I first met Puffin he was well training for football still and weighed about 35 more pounds SOLID MUSCLE he was the size of a refrigerator. My parents after meeting him for the first time, called me down the next morning and informed me " Puffin is on steroids. There is no way he isn't and you need to be careful." I let them know "they were hilariously delusional and Puffin is harmless and NOT on ROIDS nor will he ROID RAGE on me." This is a memory we often look back and laugh at. Mostly because over the next two months they learned his workout regimen and how much food he had to eat. The first time I watched Puffin Kill a 10 egg omelet loaded with potatoes, and sausage I about threw up. He was miserable but had to eat the calories to maintain his weight and muscles Below is a picture of him with only HALF of his body showing. I am 6'2 and he dwarfs me in this picture.

I also remember when we first moved in together and he realized I was not going to be the Paula Dean of the house and I am what some would call "challenged" in the kitchen. Shortly after that he took over all grilling and most of the cooking, I can make a mean salad from a salad kit. One of the reason I want to talk about this is as this blog transforms and develops I will focus on the fact that I am starting to enjoy trying to cook, and DIY projects and those of you that know me understand what challenges will lie ahead for me in this area what is a screw driver?.Those who don't know me I hope you enjoy watching me attempt to cook meals and get my hands dirty updating OUR NEW HOUSE!!!!
