It's official, we're all moved in at the duplex and all checked out of the apartment. It's been almost a month since I've updated the blog but I really didn't have a way to update unless I went and sat at Starbucks and I already spend too much time there. The last two weeks we've been without internet and cable and it's been a LONG two weeks!
Getting Charter to hook the correct box up outside so that way the service man could connect the cable and internet for us was like pulling teeth. The Mr. was so frustrated with them and said that if they didn't have it hooked up by the end of this weekend, he was canceling. So with our luck, Stephen, the very nice technician made his way to our duplex at 12:30 this afternoon. We're officially connected to the world again! (Thanks God!)
We're pretty much settled in now too. The back bedroom has a few boxes in it but most of that is stuff we'll need to go through and declutter it. Eventually we'll get a bed for that room and have it set up as a guest bedroom but that's later down the road. It feels nice to call this home.
Over the next couple of weeks we'll be preparing to head to Mexico for The Mr.'s sisters wedding. I can't believe it's so soon, I seriously need to find a dress! I'm not stressed yet, but kind of getting there. I'm not looking forward to flying for a day though, I'm not a big fan of planes, hopefully I'll be able to sleep since we'll be flying at night.
This summer has been so busy and it's not going to slow down until after we get back from Mexico. The heat has finally started and back to school shopping has started so work has been a little bit busier but that just means Fall is on the way. That's my favorite time of year!
Vacations, Holidays and Packing
Holy Moly! It's been almost a month since I've blogged. Over the past month we've been to Seattle, enjoyed 3 baseball games, spent the 4th of July with my family, got the keys for our duplex, worked a whole hell of a lot and we are now currently in the middle of packing.
Before I go any further, I just want to say that moving sucks. It really really sucks. My plan is to retire in this duplex, just kidding, but really, moving could death of me. The Mr. has done A LOT of work by himself, he's truly been amazing through all of this. While I'm working he's been packing and moving the boxes down into the garage all by himself. Needless to say, he's been extra tired and super sore, we just keep telling ourselves it will all be over soon.
Seattle was a blast, we watched the Braves sweep the Mariners, made it on TV and ate some amazing ballpark food. We didn't do much "tourist" activity only because we've done it all before. You can only go to the top of the Space Needle so many times before it becomes old.
For the 4th of July, we went to Othello and spent the day with my family, in the back yard, doing nothing but soaking up the sun and enjoying each others company; it was so nice. Once it got dark, we headed to Lions Park to watch the fireworks which turned out to be a great show. Othello did a really nice job this year!
Other than that, not a lot has been going on. Our main goal right now is to get out of the apartment and into the duplex. Next weekend we'll be moving everything over to the duplex and will be officially living there. We have until the end of the month to clean and detail everything at the apartment so we can turn the keys in. I will be forever grateful when this is all over, I regret ever saying I wanted a bigger place.
Once we get into the duplex and semi settled in, I'll post pictures. Until then....Happy Packing! :-)
