First blog, first sunday back from the honeymoon, first day we haven't wanted to blow up our apartment...
We got back from Curaçao on Wednesday morning, and arrived in Bellingham Thursday night. We thought, "Hey, we can get everything set up tonight. Box up our old things, replace them with our awesome new things that we got from the wedding, easy as pie."
Yeah, right.
10pm rolled around and we were pooped! So, we hit the hay with a living room full of opened and unopened boxes.
Now, we are finally finished! My desk is moved back into the office/Mark's room in which he is not living anymore. The carpet has been cleaned (thanks Patti and Gary for letting us borrow the carpet cleaner!). All of our new, beautiful, and generous wedding gifts have replaced the chipping/broken things we had before. Our apartment looks fabulous. I will take some pics and post them soon.
We went for a long walk today to downtown Bellingham. The Pride Parade was going on, so it was pretty jam-packed. After we got back, we drove down to one of our favorite places, Boulevard Park, and had ourselves a little picnic. Between Jacques trying effortlessly to eat our sandwiches and me (Stephanie) knocking over my blackberry soda, it was short-lived. 30 minutes later, we were back in the car heading back.
Tomorrow is day one of a full work-week (for Eric) and a full thesis-writing/ENG 350 (Creative Writing, for my English endorsement)/job searching week. The library will be my home from 10am to 2pm every weekday. Jacques might be a little lonely at the humble abode, but I know that On Demand and scrapbooking will be too hard to resist when faced with a decision between that and schoolwork. Graduation is only six short weeks away, and I will be Stephanie Evans, MIT. And hopefully employed by some wonderful school district who fell for my charms.
