The Last Few Weeks....

... have pretty much been a blur. We signed all the final papers for our house, and have been spending our weekends working towards getting all our belongings out of our condo, and into our new place (this is with a compact VW Passat that has a baby seat in the back, mind you). It's provided for long trips with only a few boxes at a time being able to be transported, but surprisingly enough we have made a good dent in getting things out of the condo. We are trying to get ahead of the actual moving day, which is next week Tuesday.... with the brilliant idea that if we move a lot of our stuff now, than the moving bill won't be so big because they won't be working on our move for so long. Never mind all the extra gas while driving 30-40 minutes each way....

Ok, so maybe we haven't spent ALL our free time worrying about moving. This last weekend was loaded with events ranging from swimming at our house with Bibi and Joc, buying a new lawn mower and (yipes! watch your toes) weed whacker, mowing the lawn for the first time, sawing off master locks that we don't have the keys to, going to Adam's first birthday party, attending a co-worker's surprise baby shower, and going to our friends house for a bbq. Here's a couple of pictures from our backyard/as well as at our friends house.

We were able to visit our friends Marcus and Amy, and spend most of Sunday at their house despite the huge amount of work we are supposed to be doing to get ready for the move.... our excuse was the ever so VERY important fantasy football draft that Mike is a part of, which of course takes precedent over any chores of moving.

Back at our new house, we enjoyed the warm weather... and Adam and Vince were at it again with pushing each other around

It's getting down to the nitty gritty with getting the house packed up for next week, and we're starting to freak out a little bit as we'll be out of town for the weekend because our friends Beth-Ann and Jason are getting married! We're super excited for the two of them and can't wait to celebrate their wedding at a beautiful honey farm in Western Massachussetts! (pictures to come after the wedding).

I've received many requests for more pictures of the house, and I promise they'll be coming soon. Seriously, just picture a super 1970's house that pretty much hasn't been updated since it was built in 75. Think wood partitioning sheets in the basement, flowery light blue tiles, and lamps in the bathroom that are actually almost cool enough for me to think about keeping them. Someone reminded me that 60's style is popular again, and we can just wait a couple years and then maybe the 70's will be back in style again, then we won't have to do anything to the house!
