All moved in!

We finally moved into our new place. Our old apartment was somewhat dingy and we were sooo excited to find this one. It is a beautiful house, so open, bright, and happy, and the only thing we have left to do is organize our books (!!!) and finish David's office. Pictures/a video tour are forthcoming.

Now that we are moved in, it seems like an eternity until we get our puppy. I am so ready to have her!

No, I said 'ello!

So -

David takes the first part of the bar tomorrow! We (especially he) are both really ready for him to be done studying all the time and back at work. He really misses working with Kim, the attorney he's been working with for a few years now (and also our new landlady!).

We move into our new house this weekend! It's about 15 minutes away from our current apartment, but a much bigger place (two floors and a basement!) and it has a grown up address. We're most excited about Kim allowing pets, so we're applying for a Newfoundland/Lab (my fave of faves!!!). We're moving more efficiently this time, but I'm antsily packing e-ver-y-thing, and some of them are things we will miss. We are also trying to drink up some of our alcohol so we don't have to move it, so we've had some fun nights filled with rum and Community.

I am working as an assistant (to the) professional organizer and making calls/scheduling appointments for a local entrepreneur. I've also just started driving again after a looooong respite, which is fine except for parking. In Pittsburgh, you have to know how to parallel park like a champ unless you wanna pay for parking, and I don't (to both). It turns out that merging onto the interstate isn't nearly as stressful as stopping traffic while making a seven-point turn trying to park your car. Who knew?

Back in the saddle again

These things never turn out how I expect them to.

After a year and a half hiatus, I finally got the urge to start blogging again. I didn't fully abstain from writing about books, as I make monthly semi-regular book posts on facebook, but from now on I'll be posting them here as well.

Why start blogging again? Multiple reasons. I love reading updates on Kaitlyn's blog, we're thinking of getting a dog, and I live far away from many close friends and family I don't regularly communicate with. (It's mostly the desire to post lots of pictures of our dog.)


S'later.
