A few things:
1) It is two and a half weeks until the wedding, and we still haven't heard from about 30 people as to whether or not they're attending the wedding. This really aggravates me. Mostly, because I need to let the cake and food people know something, and I can't.
2)Buddy and Frenchie had a prayer luncheon for us on Sunday and invited several people from church that we're close to, and it was LOVELY. It was so nice. It was great food and fellowship and the man that did our pre-mar. counseling prayed for us. It was very cool. aaaaaaaaaaand. we made out with some sweet gifts! WOO!
3) On Saturday, we got to see our new apartment. Andrew has to be out of his current apt by the end of this month, so the girl that lived where we're going to move in had alread moved out. This is the first time I had seen it at all, and the first time Andrew had seen it emptied and cleaned out. He videotaped me walking in, and we did a whole walk-though on the video camera and showed all the rooms and stuff. It was cool. Then we had a little huggy-moment in our living room of our new home! YAY! The committee at RTS in charge of welcoming people had left this lovely little note with their phone numbers and they made us a sign that said "Welcome Home" and there was a little care package with things like TP, paper towels, ice cube tray, bottled water, magnets, a plastic pitcher and fruit punch. And other stuff. On the bottom of the note, they had written something like, "welcome to your new home, Newleyweds!" Aw. We're moving stuff in now and we won't live there together for a few more weeks, but it was neat.
The carpet is in great condition, and it had just been steam cleaned, and the rest of the apt was really in good clean shape, but I still wanted to go over pretty much everything and clean it well, myself. So a little bit Saturday but mostly last night I spent a LOT of time doing things like wiping out all the shelving and putting down shelf paper (this takes FOREVER!!!), wiping down the cabinets, spraying down the oven and the bathtub like 3 times and letting them sit and soak the crud (nasty stuff came off) before I got to it and scoured it all....mopped floors...twice....hehe. Windexed windows. Stuff like that. Wiped the baseboards down in the kitchen. Andrew worked on the outside lighting. I brought some stuff over that wouldn't be in the way of moving like some clothes to put in the closet and a bunch of toilitry stuff to go in the bathroom cabinets. Oh, I forgot to say. Saturday night, we literally filled a truck-load worth of stuff from Andrew's current apt and moved it into our new apt. All he has left to move from his current apt for the most part are his books and most of his clothes. The furniture is another story, because that is mostly all in the storage unit across the street. This includes our bed and all our living room furniture and our desks and our bedroom furniture and kitchen table, and MUCH more.
Yeah...so its tons of fun. I love it. I was so worn out last night cause I cleaned really hard. But I love working on our new home!
