Yoga Tuesdays

Now the moment I'm sure you have all been anxiously awaiting... my first post! I obviously held off posting for dramatic effect but some people seem to think it is because I'm lazy. Okay, I'm kind of lazy. Thankfully we do not award house points for blogging. I hope I didn't give overly enthusiastic blogger Jared any ideas. Shelby and Jared will literally (http://www.vulture.com/2012/09/rob-lowe-literally-parks-and-recreation.html?mid=twitter_vulture - for your reading pleasure) kill me if this isn't finished by the time they arrive home from work so here goes.

I have been actively trying to convince Jared to do "Call Me Maybe" squats with me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDpB8pWEjhk - do it if you want nice thighs) for the past few weeks but for some weird reason he has absolutely no interest in said awesomeness. I finally decided to put the subject to rest and try my luck with yoga. Success! Last Tuesday we created a fantastic yoga studio in our living room and did P90X Yoga X. Shelby ended up joining us in the middle of our workout. It was awesome sauce to say the least. In fact It was so awesome sauce that we have have decided to have Yoga Tuesdays.

And we took pictures of ourselves in yoga poses because that's what you're supposed to do, right?  Enjoy!

Yoga studio (note Shelby's "mat")

Just plain awkward

Upward facing dog, plank, and downward facing dog - we did these at least 20x each

Crane (what it should look like:  http://www.yogajournal.com/poses/468/ )

Tree = the best after Child's Pose i.m.o.

Warrior One, Warrior Two, and Reverse Warrior

Saved the best for last. Gotta love Shelby's face in this one. 

Sunday Crepes

Our new Sunday tradition.  Crepes at Crepes Parisiennes, delicious! With 100's (~20) of different crepes to choose from for under $10 we will be coming back for weeks to come.

A Quick Update

First off - an apology - we realize we haven't done the best job with keeping the blog "up to date" recently.  We'll make sure to make it more of a priority here soon because obviously hilarious things are happening to us everyday and you want to know about them.

So just to catch you up on a few things:
-Emily, Shelby, and I are currently watching Evens Stevens - the classic american comedy television series that aired on Disney channel - because, yes, we are all 5 years old.
-Emily & Tyler are redoing Emily's dresser and it's looking awesome.  I'm sure she'll be providing you with more updates on its coolness soon enough.
-I've seen "fat neighbor" 4 whole times today!
-The Irish festival was pretty sweet (pictures...all 2 of them...are coming soon)
-I've successfully rewatched the first 4 seasons of the office
-The house points currently stand at:
Ravenclaw 6
Slytherin 4
Gryffindor 1
Hufflepuff...is currently, and most likely will forever be, in the negatives
If this confuses you it means you haven't read the "House Points" tab.  If this is the case you need to read it ASAP.

Revenge

Doth my eyes deceive me or is our neighbor in violation of Article 7 541.01-b2

Mmmm he is...parking a bold 11.5 feet away from a fire hydrant! The audacity.

Friendly Neighbors

The Big House has received a warm welcome to the Big House Neighborhood.

First encounter with our next door neighbor, after parking about 10 feet from the fire hydrant in front of The Big House:

"You're not allowed to park there. We called the cops allll the time on the past tenets. Oh, and by the way I'm your neighbor."

Description of said next door neighbor: oddly shapen, large, orange.

Second encounter with our next door neighbor:

Needless to say, we are off to a great start.

Week 1

So we're a week into "The Big House" and things are starting to come together. We just got internet today so expect more frequent updates.

BigHouse Twitter
