Update

So it’s been over a week since I last posted. Things have been a bit crazy, and I wish I could say it was fantastic news, but really it was just me helping the boyfriend move. He was living in a dump — not his fault, he was new to the area and didn’t know any better. For anyone moving to the Alexandria area of Northern Virginia — STAY AWAY FROM LYNBROOK!!

So anyway, he is moved out. It was tough, all the stairs and all the heavy stuff. I’m still catching up on sleep and trying to ease the pain of a pulled shoulder. But his new place is awesome — he has a garage to himself that is attached to his apartment, crown molding, a great dining room with a bay window. He’s on the back of the community so he backs trees and this morning we opened the windows and let the breeze and the sound of song birds fill the air. It was peaceful, relaxing and everything that we both needed. Beats Alexandria any day.

Moving went as well as it normally can. It was stressful, hot and not fun — but it’s done. His huge 8 foot couch is being delivered today, and hopefully there is room for it!

It’s a very nice sofa, big enough for 5’3″ me and 6’7″ him to sprawl out and watch his new tv. I’m excited. We are heading out to Ikea now, so happy fourth to everyone!
