Television-itis

Television-itis: Complete and utter boredom, due to lack of television and/or cable watching access.

I'm not sure if that is the technical name, but I'm going to pretend like it is.

Since Tyler and I got married, we decided to save a little moolah and NOT have cable. Gasp! What did you say, Hannah??? Yes, it is true! I have not had cable since May.

And really, for the most part, it has been fine. But there have been times when I wanted to scratch my eyeballs out simply to entertain myself. I mean, I didn't know boredom like that exsisted!!!

So my saving grace the past few months has been Hulu. I can watch basically any show I want. The only problem? Summer is sort of lacking in the exiting TV show department.

Thus, I was reduced to watch two shows which I had not seen in YEARS! And the sad part? I kind of enjoyed it...

I have been able to refresh my Angel and Buffy knowledge... I had forgotten how good these shows are!





But as the cooler weather comes, so do my FAVORITE shows! We still don't have cable, but at least I can watch these online.

The Office, of course, is my all time fav.... This show will NEVER get old. The other shows that I heart are: Project Runway, Community, Desperate Housewives, Biggest Loser, America's Next Top Model, and of course GLEE (I have become obsessed with this show, and really think it is quickly becoming everyone's new fav)



And surprisingly, one of my new favorite shows is the Vampire Diaries... who would have thought? I imagined it to be this cheesy, teeny-bopper, watered-down version of Buffy or Twighlight. But really? Not too bad so far! I find myself excited to watch the next week's episode as soon as I finish this week's. So for all you Twilighters, check this out! I really do think it's pretty good. (And this is someone who likes Twighlight a lot, but definitely not one of those obsessed people *cough* Jennie and Whitney *cough*) lol :)



But the super exciting news??? I will no longer have to suffer from Television-itis!!! Well, at least not completely. Since we are moving to LR, we had to get a new internet provider, who was running a special for TV and internet. So yours truly will now have 20 channels. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, 20 cable channels! I know this is kind of sad to be so excited... but I figure I can get most of my fav shows from these few channels, and that is all I need! So, when we are in LR, anyone is welcome to come to our apt to watch TV! YAY!

Unexpected Blessings!

Isn't it so awesome when something great happens when you least expect it?

Well that is exactly what happened to me last night!

Yesterday was a bad day for me.... and I mean BAD! I had to drive back up to NWA after a quick trip down to LR to move some furniture into our new apartment. I got home and realized I left all my keys in LR!!! ALL OF THEM! My car and my apartment were locked away and I was stuck in the parking lot, running late to my sister-in-law's baby shower! AH!

To make a long story short... after a lot of fiascos I was able to get into my apartment without chopping it down with an axe (which I was more than willing to do at that point) and am borrowing a car from Tyler's parents.

PLUS I made it to Amanda's (my sis-in-law) baby shower almost on time! WOO HOO! (There is more to say about Amanda and my niece, but that will be tomorrow's post ;) )

Afterword I had the JOY of even more to packing look forward to! YAY... not. Tyler's dad is taking a load down to LR today so we had to get it all put on the trailer last night. Needless to say, I was exhausted and packing was the LAST thing I wanted to do.

***ENTER AMAZING BROTHER***

My brother Scott volunteered to help with the moving last night, and I'm so glad I finally agreed.

(I always feel bad asking for help in these situations because everyone hates to move their OWN stuff, so imagine how Not Fun it is to move someone else's!!!)

Well, he not only came himself... he also brought all the guys from his Bible study over too!!! 8-9 guys helped us move all our living room furniture in about 30 minutes!

And let me tell you... they PACKED that trailer and SUV full. They kept saying it was like a big game of Tetris, trying to fit the puzzle perfectly together. I always thought I was pretty good at the game, but these boys have a GIFT for Tetris! They put more things on the trailer than I thought possible.

So instead of spending hours moving furniture, I was able to spend the rest of the night relaxing. All I could think of was how incredibly BLESSED I am to have such great friends to come and help! And how wonderful being a part of a church family is!

Tyler and I are so excited to find our own church home in LR... it may take a while, but having those relationships are so important. Plus... they are always there to help you move!!! ;)

Honey, I'm Ho--- .... wait, where did you go?

As most of you know, my hubby Tyler just started a job in Little Rock. We are so very excited for this move! We have spent a majority of our relationship long-distance (probably close to 75%, NO LIE!) so the idea of us going away together, just the 2 of us, to a new place seems like such an ADVENTURE!

Anyway, I am finishing up my job here in good ol' NWA until next Friday while Tyler is staying with friends in Conway and getting everything ready in LR for the Big Move. And I'm ngl, this has been such a LOOONG week for me! Even though Tyler and I have spent so much time apart in the past, I QUICKLY got used to having him around! After we got married, he basically became a stay-at-home-husband while he worked on this thesis for grad school and found a job. And let me tell you..... it was AWESOME! I have been so pampered!

Now, I truly am not one to be all mushy-gushy, lovey-dovey, head-over-heels, annoying about my marriage. I love my husband dearly, more than I can express... but come ON, sometimes girls are just straight up ANNOYING about the whole L.O.V.E. thing.

With that being said, I just can't help but reflect on the wonderfulness of having him at home when I get back from work. He literally treated me like a princess--- made me breakfast EVERY morning before work, cleaned the house, did laundry & dishes and would always be there to listen to my work day. Yes, ladies, you can now be jealous! I know he's pretty amazing. :) Ok, now I'm done being mushy!!!!!

But this week, I wake up alone, I skip breakfast (NO TIME!), I'm too lazy and depressed to clean, the house is a MESS (dishes in sink, dirty clothes on the floor, trashcan overflowing, you get the pic!) and all I can think about it how much I want to see Tyler!

So tonight I go home to an empty apt, yet again! (sigh, deep breath, sigh again) I know I'm feeling WAAAY too sorry for myself right now.... but please just let me grovel for a few more seconds.....

...... Ok, I'm better!!! Anyway, in a short, short time we will be reunited and beginning our journey together in LR. This time apart has really helped me realize God's blessings in my life and how we should cherish our time with the ones we love the most!
