First MONTH owning a home! Thank you, December! Thank you 2011! 

I got lots of plans, you better believe it. I even got my first chicken...it's ceramic. I will definitely write more and include pictures soon when I have internet again.

Looking forward to see what 2012 brings!

A further but essentially non-related note:
Saint's Name Generator says my saint of the year is St. Therese de Lisieux which is freaky weird because I was thinking of making her my patron saint when I get confirmed in April, and in fact I checked out a book a couple days ago called Shirt of Flame: A Year With St. Therese of Lisieux. Reason #432 why I'm not an atheist.
