First update rambling from Iowa!

First blog in my new place I call home, Iowa. The weather is what I expected, hot and incredibly humid. I guess North Dakota has somewhat prepared me for this kind of weather, plus I did spend a year or so living in Texas. So it's not so new to me, but that doesn't mean I like it. I just don't like sweating haha, it doesn't feel all that lady like to me, but the human body is what it is and sweating is a natural occurrence. As odd as it is, I'd love to hear what other girls have to say about it and how this weather makes them feel. I love feeling fresh and clean and I guess it just doesn't exactly give me that fresh feeling, lol. And as much as it may freak some out, I love getting dirty and sweating too. It's taking some time adjusting to new faces, even though some aren't so new, they are still new. Not like all the familiar faces of those I have grown up with and grown so close with in Colorado. It is weird experiencing the whole being 'on my own' part of life. Matthew and I are aiming strongly at heading up to ND for a trip to see my family, and for him to meet them and dad, all that snazzy jazzy stuff. :) This is why I have not gotten a job yet, because I highly doubt I would be able to get the time off as well as Matt getting time off, which is hard enough on it's own. But I am quite excited to take my first road trip with him, and no, not a 3-4hr 'road trip' those can hardly be called a real trip. No offense to those whom think it is. Things at the house are coming along nicely! It is so nice to finally have all of a certain person's belongings out of the house. About time too. I mean really? How does it take someone 7 months to get piddly stuff out. Seems rather lazy to be honest, but life is life and I understand. Out with the old and in with the new! :D I have gotten some lovely decor for the house, candle setups and decor books, decorative glass bottles and such. It has really improved the look here, while it is still a tad messy and jumbled.. that is expected for having boxes of stuff, and trying to figure out where each things new place will be :P I love justing getting things to make it more of a home, while the main way I still believe is what you make it, the love and relationship and whatnot. I still like getting things like rugs, lamps, curtains, pretty little things, night stands, kitchen ware, new shower curtain and bath room set up. It will definitely have more zest and taste then before. I just actually want to put time, effort, money and heart into this house instead of just letting it sit and live in it. So far things are going great, but there have been and will be MANY, MANY struggles and pains, trials and troubles. That is completely expected in my book, it is life after all and Christ never said it would be easy. But with Him, we have all we need and more to do more then just 'get by' :D I am thinking about picking up some more plants for the house, and some wall decor as in picture frames.. like the cool ones that have multiple frames mounted together, just to bring some life to the house! :) Well this is it for now..
