Today was a long, busy day for the Hamiltons.  We kicked off the day going to a Weight Watcher's meeting (just 2 pounds from goal and I managed to stay in my healthy range that last week before the wedding and lost an additional 1.4 lbs).  Then we grabbed breakfast at Wawa and began making our way North.  Tim stopped for a quick appointment and then we kept trucking to pick up my Matron of Honor dress for my friend A's wedding in December.  We grabbed an AMAZING pizza at Bertucci's and then did some quick shopping and drove the 2 hours back home.  Some days I really miss living in a true suburban area and don't like living in such a rural place.  It was just so nice to be able to walk down a row of stores and get everything that we needed (plus a few things that we didn't).  After all that (almost 10 hours since leaving the apartment), I ended up taking about a 20 minute cat nap and could still probably call it a night.  Tomorrow should be a nice relaxing day.  I don't think we have anything planned except for packing up boxes.  We're just about at the 3 week countdown although its a little unnerving that I've given my landlord my notice but haven't gotten the official move in date.  Even if our move in date is pushed back a few days, we'll be fine because I left us a 15 day buffer with the landlord (if we can move earlier, its just that much more time to make sure this place is really cleaned up and to get back as much of the deposit as possible).  I can't believe that I'm moving again.  By the time that I'm out, I will have lived here for a year and a half.  We're not sure that we'll stay at the next place for more than a year but we'll have to take it as it goes.  I swear every time I get a bruise or knock something over from it being so cramped in this apartment, my mantra is "2 bedrooms....1295 square feet....3 weeks...I can do this."

So Thursday Tim came to work to meet quite a few of the coworkers.  For an office known for pulling pranks, I was a little bit concerned when they said that they had a "special surprise for us."  It truly was a very special surprise though.  We had registered for a few oddball items during our wedding registry process...some were ungodly things to dream about...including a $400 wine bar.  Now I'm sure you just read that and went "No way, you got a $400 wine bar?!"  NOPE!  They pulled funds together and got me a custom made wine bar that is almost identical to the one that we registered for, except made with solid wood throughout instead of chipboard.  It was so sweet and unexpected.  It will be perfect to house all our leftover wedding wine and the awesome decanter that my friend C gave us for our wedding.

Two bedrooms.  1295 square feet.  3 weeks.
