Home Sweet Home

Well, not quite, but it will be soon. I LOVE my apartment! It's beautiful and spacious and wonderful. I have a ten foot ceiling in my living room, and a fire place, and a walk-in closet in the bedroom, and a porch for all of my plants. Friday, Mom, Dad, and Rob came down from NC and braved a van with no AC for seven hours to bring my all my things. Luckily, it was mostly overcast that day, so unloading my things and bringing them upstairs was fairly comfortable, except for the part about going upstairs. Later on Friday, Calvin, Kim, and Darren came over and brought the rest of the things, and brought up the big couch my parents gave me. Saturday, we got everything unpacked and somewhat organized and put away, and then we went shopping. And then we went shopping. And then we went shopping. Oy-vey. We made it to Hometeam for dinner that night and I introduced my parents to the joy of a bbq wrap. (BTW - Saturday is Brisket Night). Sunday, My parents left and Susan and I went shopping. She bought me a set of the plates I really really wanted from Target as a housewarming gift, and then we went and had dinner at her mother's (gorgeous/huge) house. What a whirlwind weekend! I'm glad the busy part is over, and now I can look forward to perfecting my apartment. I'm thinking of paint colors and poster frames and other decorative items...what fun! Thank you to everyone who helped me this weekend - I really, really appreciated your help. If anyone wants a free home-cooked dinner and/or swim, just let me know and I'll be happy to oblige you. Does it sound like I'm begging for company? Good, it was supposed to!
