I’m going to stop apologizing for the lack of posts, because that seems to be the first line in all my posts of late. We have been crazy busy. I thought after the wedding subsided we’d enjoy some downtime, but between the holidays, finding and starting a new job, and now finding a new place to live, we’ve barely had time to stay current with 24 (Karen should have a recap of last week’s episode shortly).
So yes, we’re moving again as our landlord decided she needed to sell the place to pay down her school loans. Completely understandable, but it really only gave us a month to track down a new place. Fortunately, we found one a block away. Rent is a modest increase per month, but I’ll be able to get a grill, so I think that justifies it! Our lease starts on March 1st, but it’s vacant and we already have the keys, so we’re slowly moving things over. It’s been great for us to get rid of a lot of crap that has just accumulated over the years.
Work has been very good. My boss is great, the people I work with are nice, the work is interesting, and I’ve been getting involved in some high level projects already. I still have a long way to go with training, as everything they function on is custom built. But I’ve been able to pick up on everything fairly quickly.
This weekend, was pretty fun. I’ve been working out now before work, so that means getting up at 5 AM everyday. Because of that, when Friday rolls around I’m not up for much of anything. And this pat Friday, I was asleep on the couch at 8:30. But man, that was the best 11 hours of sleep I’ve had in forever.
Saturday, Karen and I started moving some things over to the new place (something we continued over to Sunday as well). That afternoon, we went shopping for some furniture, and bought a new entertainment shelf, sofa and chair, and a rug. I think we got some pretty good deals and it was a definite needed purchase as our old couches broke down very quickly for only being 4 years old. They’ll be delivered to the new place this Friday!
Saturday night, we went to Gerry and Ricks (belated) house warming party. We’ve been over to their place already, but most everyone else at the party was visiting for the first time, and everyone had a great time. Karen was entertaining everyone with her drunkenness, which was awesome. I’ll let her decide if she’ll tell you about her exploits…
Anyway, this morning I assembled the entertainment stand over at the new place, we moved more stuff in, and took a break to head to the gym and grab a bite to eat with Josh. Now, I’m finishing up some laundry, and while that’s going, we’re going to take more stuff over to the new place. We’ll post some pictures of it when we can.
Hope everyone has a good week!
I want Karen to entertain with her drunkeness in Steamboat!!
