new news




i'm sure all of you have been wondering and wondering what the good ol' troutman clan has been up to as of late.  and i can tell you with sincere honesty that it hasn't been much.  we are truly trying to live up to our doing nothing standards especially with school starting back for us both at the end of the semester.  boo for having less of a life than we do now.  we have watched a lot of movies, i have attempted many crafts, and chris has been brewing lots of things at home, which i think qualifies this as homebrewing.  i have been trying to take pictures of the house as each room is clean...so it's taking some time.  there are still a few more rooms to go, but for now, heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's our house!

this is our living room if you are looking into it.


here's the back of our living room.


and then, there's our grown up dining area (which we rarely eat in due to a wonderful invention called the tv tray).

here's our bedroom, which i pretend is a fancy hotel room.

so far, that's all that i have pictures of.  our kitchen used to be much cuter, but we recently got a portable dishwasher which completely threw off the feng shui.  and our bathroom used to be much cuter but our toilet seat broke and our floor got dyed black with hair dye.  and the guest room used to be much cuter, but the closet recently exploded and it's taking time to get it back shoved in there.  chris' room has pretty much always looked like this:

that really is a picture of chris' room.

we worked really hard to get our house organzied that now we can't find the strength to finish it.  i just hope it gets organized before the end of the month, because if it doesn't, it won't be touched again until we have to move again next year.

other big news (besides our purchase of a portable dishwasher that helps us to love each other more), i won a tetris tournament in the girls' division, and chris got third place.  it was a lot of fun and also very nerdy.  i would post some pictures...but our internet is completely slow.

we went to a friend's wedding last weekend where chris and i happened to run into my doppleganger 15 years ago.  it was strange and i couldn't quite decide if i should encourage her that things would get better or stab her in order to put her out of the misery that she would have for the next...well...many years.

did i mention that we got a dishwasher?

that about sums up our lives as of late.  if chris can think of something else to write about, i'm sure he'll come and post something.  someday.
