Jack O'Lantern

The story of the Jack o'Lantern comes from Irish folklore. Jack was a crafty farmer who tricked the Devil into climbing a tall tree. When the Devil reached the highest branch, Jack carved a large cross in the trunk, making it impossible for the Devil to climb down. In exchange for help getting out of the tree, the Devil promised never to tempt Jack with evil again. When Jack died, he was turned away from Heaven for his sins and turned away from Hell because of his trickery. Condemned to wander the Earth without rest, Jack carved out one of his turnips, took an ember from the devil, and used it for a lantern to light his way.

He became known as "Jack of the Lantern."

Hmmmmm....

Well,

I've been working and unpacking (slowly) lately. That pretty much sums it up. Obviously my office is not set up yet or I would post more often. :)

We bought some furniture which will be here on Saturday and then I will hopefully post some pictures! Wahoo!

I got a hair cut....

house is awesome.

that's about it. :D

Not really that interesting without pictures...huh?

Not quite settled in....

I haven't had easy access to internet so my updates have been more than lacking lately. I'll post someday. :D
