Friday Favorites

It’s moving day 2!  Yesterday went pretty smoothly.  We met with the rep at our new complex, she gave us our keys, and did a quick walk through to point out any problems or items needing maintenance.  Today after work, we have to head to IKEA and pick up our new dresser and continue moving over small items.  Large items we still need:

• Dresser
• Dining room table and chairs
• Desk
• Bookshelf

After those are all in place, I think we should be good.  Of course there’s tons of smaller stuff we still need, but those will come with time.

Let’s get into my Friday Favorites from this week.  There’s only a few because I’ve been so busy packing and moving that there isn’t much else to talk about. 

An obvious favorite from this week – our new place.  I was standing in the middle of the room, so the space is actually a bit bigger.  This is just a view of our living/dining/kitchen area.  I’m super excited because we have two full bathrooms, a decent size master bedroom with walk in closet, a second bedroom we’re turning into an office, washer/dryer, and a deck!  I now have space to put plants!

Sunshine!  This week had pretty good temperatures for our area.  Last weekend the weather was in the low 60s!  During the work week it cooled down a bit to a high in the mid-50s, but it was still gorgeous outside!  I’m hoping it never snows again.

If you can’t tell from the photo, my hood is dented, paint is chipped off, my grill is cracked off, and my headlight is scratched and pushed back causing my bumper to lower.  OK, so that doesn’t sound like a Friday Favorite…but let me explain. Last week, my intern and I were at a red light and she decided to start to parallel park her car at the light.  She backed right into the front right side of my car.  The “Favorite” part of this is that this week I got all the paperwork figured out and had an appraiser get a quote and now everything should be good to go to get Shelly (my car) all back to normal.
