Nancy’s finally got GC!!

Posted in Random Crap at 19:15 by panda

OMG! We finally got Nancy’s green card! Turns out, we got it in March 12th-ish, but Mom didn’t open it because it looked like one of those envelopes for credit cards. Whew~! We’re so happy. Now we gotta call USCIS to let them know that they don’t need to look into it anymore because we got the card. Well, I guess I could leave them alone too.

As you can see from Nancy’s post, we got our house! We closed on it and everything. I’ll upload the pictures as soon as I get the chance because Nancy took the pictures off the camera and put it on our other laptop, which is left at the house right now. In case you didn’t know, I’m currently in Vegas packing our shiet up to take back to Austin with us. What fun!

我们的窝

Posted in Random Crap at 11:55 by kitty

很高兴跟大家宣布一下:我和PANDA也有窝了! 这是一件很值得高兴的事,但同时我们俩也承担了沉重的债务!用哲学上的一句话来说就是:事物总有其两面性!我们要用辩证的观点来看待事情,^_^!

费话我不多说了,上几张照片给关心爱护我的亲朋好友们看看吧!

我和PANDA在房前留影,纪念对于我们来说的历史性一刻,可惜照片拍得有点磕参(东北话,不知道是不是这么写?),请大家见谅了

房子全貌

喜欢门前紫色的小花,还有一个小的蓄水池

进门处,左手边是个FORMAL DINING ROOM

后院,准备在这里种菜种花,开始我的FARMER生活

感谢大家的欣赏!

We finally closed on our first home~!

Posted in Random Crap at 19:24 by panda

We finally did it. We closed. We are now $145k in debt. Well, you could always look on it at the bright side and say that we own a house now.

Nancy and I spent the whole day…well…half a day cleaning up the house. We didn’t get a chance to do the second floor though as the carpets were still wet from cleaning. We cleaned the windows, the floor, mopped, swept, etc. Since the previous owners had dogs, I got the honor of looking for fertilizer. By the time I was done, I had a whole bag filled, yuk!

Well, tomorrow is another big day. We gotta do all the feng shui things between 7AM ~ 9AM and we have a TV and TV stand to move over, dinner table, rug, and the cable guy is coming to turn on our Internet and cable.

Ain’t that nice?

今天运动了

Posted in Random Crap at 9:59 by kitty

昨天晚上睡觉之前,PANDA突发奇想说明天早上早起跑步,简直是太阳从西边出来了,这么怕运动的人竟然会积极起来了,为了表示我的全力支持,我马上举双手赞成,并且自告奋勇说:愿意早起一起跑步!

不知道是不是一直挂念着第二天要早起跑步,晚上就一直睡不着,越睡不着越担心明天起不来,越担心越是睡不着,如此恶性循环下去,我不知道自己何时进入了梦乡……

早上被开门声吵醒之后,我突然意识到PANDA已经不见了,赶紧起身去了客厅,看到PANDA在那气喘吁吁,大汉淋漓,原来他已经跑回来了,运动已经结束了!

“你怎么一个人去了,为什么不喊我?”

“:( 你还在睡觉嘛,我不想吵醒你… ”

看着他一副可怜巴巴的样子,我就放过他了,不过我都没有运动到,我身上的肥油越来越多了,再这样下去,每天吃吃喝喝,睡觉看碟,我真的要成大肥猫了.

最后我决定面向窗外的美景,原地跑步.PANDA说至少要跑10分钟,他在旁边监督.刚开始跑还好,到后来我真觉得自己快断气了,不过在PANDA的鼓励下,还好,我坚持下来了!

运动过后洗了个澡,感觉真舒服啊!^_^,我今天也算干了一件正事吧! 稍稍有点成就感,纪念一下吧!

不要鄙视我啊,这种事也叫正事,关键还不是我太闲了!:)

Spring is here

Austin真的很美,周末出门散步,映入眼帘的是一片绿意盎然,青翠的树木,嫩绿的草坪,夹杂着一些五颜六色的不知名的小花朵,枝头的鸟儿欢快地歌唱,不竟让人感叹生命的美好!万里的白云,湛蓝的天空,阳光明媚的日子带给人无比舒畅的心情!望着这干净澄澈的天空,不得不感慨这是多年未见的蓝天了! 这蓝天犹如天帝派人彻底清洁过一样,澄净透彻,一望无际,看着这蓝天,心中不竟觉得有点酸酸的,在我亲爱的祖国,我可爱的家乡,这样的蓝天怎么见不到???

听PANDA说这里的人很是爱护树木,就算自己土地上的树也是不能随便乱砍的,如果你想砍掉自己房子旁边的一棵树,也是要经过申请以及层层审批,得到政府的允许才可以砍掉的,因此Austin的绿化特别好,房子经常是被树所围绕着的,在路上,你会经常看到很多野生动物跑出来,这里的人与自然是很亲近的.我每天都是被鸟叫声唤醒的,这个周末和PANDA出去散步,竟然看到了两只鹿直愣愣地盯着我们看.我还是第一次不是在动物园看到鹿,激动的大声惊叫,panda说赶紧拿相机出来拍照,但可能那两只鹿被我的叫声吓坏了,唰地一下跑掉了!唉,只怪我只顾得惊讶却忘记了拍照! 记得还有一次还看到了小松鼠在找食物,可惜那次却没带相机.
