Well, the move was pretty crazy. We're all moved now and now we "just" need to unpack, which I suspect will take weeks. The apartment is really cute, nice and big (well, big compared to where we were) and much cheaper. Katy and I painted Perry's "office" (aka the dining room) turquoise, and he bought a new desk which he and his dad are putting together. I also bought a new tv stand, which Dylan and Perry put together, with a little help from Katy and none from me. :D We got out new washer and dryer delivered and it's SO nice to do big loads of laundry right in the house; I've probably done ten loads in the last two days. I even put them away! Put we're tripping over boxes everywhere -- we have at least 25 -- and bags of clothes and misc. stuff. Perry keeps EVERYTHING. While packing I found things I'd never even seen before -- random hats and artifacts from Russia, old boyscout medals, even plado figurines he made when he was a kid. That man saves EVERYTHING.

You have no idea how annoying it is to have every nook and cranny full of old moldy boxes, bags, shoe boxes, you name it, full of things he has not looked at in over a decade but refuses to get rid of. I SWEAR I will make him put it all in storage this time. I am not having our lovely new apartment full of random crap. I know a lot of it means something to him, like the piece of the Berlin wall, and the one and only trophy he EVER won, which was for perfect attendance in first grade, but seriously, a giant UT flag his dad gave him when he was 5? Perry never went to UT. No reason to keep it. The plado dinosaur figures? When will he EVER NEED THOSE? The ugly, horrible framed tiger print that will never grace our walls? The empty Russian vodka bottles? The old science magazines from 15 years ago? The Star Treck action figures that have been sitting in a box since he was 15? COME. ON.
COME ON NOW!
But, today is our "6 monthiversary," and we're going out to the resturaunt we went to on our first date. Can't wait!
