Update....

in the life of Jennifer...

Not too much happening at the moment, but it is as though I am waiting for a big, new, and exciting chapter to begin!

For the past 3+ months, Jassen and I have been attempting to get our own first home sorted. We found the flat complex, it's newly built, has two bedrooms, a master and smaller room, as well as a dining/living room, and openish kitchen. It is really quite nice and will serve us well to start with.

I can imagine being there maybe 10-15 years, but really it depends on when it comes to having children and if there is a major need for space, etc.

It will be very lovely for our kits, since the middle room will be designated for them as well as for guests when they should so happen to stay over.

When it comes to furniture, Jassen and I were thinking that it would probably be best if we have two sofa beds, one in the living room, and the other in the guest room, that way we can be ready for the unexpected.:-)

Hopefully in the beginning of November will mark the time when we will sign contracts and move in. We have been looking forward to having our own digs for quite sometime. I even recall over 2 years ago, when we were looking for places to rent, but then that really didnt pan out, when then had to save money for trips to the states and me to the UK, and then eventually plan our wedding, which is all now said and done. WOO!

We havent had a holiday(vacation in quite sometime)...really since August 2006, so i think maybe next year sometime, we will have to plan a little European trip just to sightsee and chill a bit. It is really and truly needed!

Sadly, this Christmas, it is next to impossible to visit my family, since I just started my job at Waterstones and am still in probationary time and really cant take time off, so in January, I am planning to visit the states for a post-christmas time, which should be a good one.:-) So, this means that this year, Jassen and I will have our first Christmas together alone, which is kinda cool in a way. New Beginnings. We will attempt to find and purchase a 4 foot fiber optic christmas tree and then get some ornaments.

Even before that, I am still on a little search to find a pumpkin patch here in the UK to pick one. If we are unable to, I will probably just end up going to a sainsbury's and getting one that route. I love halloween....maybe even more than Christmas, but my opinions on that changes all the time.

That's all for now.:-)
