Twelve days…

… until my wedding. It’s a pretty insane concept, and both myself and Moriah and strangely calm about the whole thing. Likely this is due to shock that we’ve survived over nine years together, but I can only speak for myself. We’ve been filling our time with trying to finish setting up the new apartment. Things are coming along nicely, and we spend the past two weekends transferring our stuff from my old room in Plymouth to the new digs in Davis Square. The kitchen finally looks like a kitchen, and I am itching to try the new coffee pot. I’ll posti pictures of the whole thing as soon as everything is settled in. That includes the new TV, which we will buy, damnit!

I went home for the weekend to do some more wedding finalizing and to have Easter brunch with the family. I didn’t really take photos while I was home because I was too busy stuffing my face with food, but I did snap a few when I got bored.

Twelve days, and four more days of teaching until vacation. Very, very excited. Here’s to hoping that this week flys by!

Courtney and Olivia spent some time playing with phones, exactly what I would expect them to be doing!

Mom, always the conversationalist!

Poor Jeff was barely awake. He was out until 3:00am and didn't sleep until 4:30!

Friday night hangouts

So between all the stupid, motherfucking bastard asshole work I’ve had to do on my initial license binder for school, I popped in and out of the apartment proper to spend some time with Steph, Randall (who is being blogged by the second person in a short while, thanks Jeff) and Chris.

The crew.

Walnut joined, too. He's A PILE OF FAT.

He was not having it.

Neither was this fucker!

Chinese was had.

OM NOM NOM NOM

OM NOM NOM NOM NOMMMMMM

We made some weird cake-in-a-mug. It was alright.

Cake.

Cake!

Moriah’s Birthday Extravaganza

So before we finished painting on Sunday, Moriah’s mom and dad brought up a lasagne and cake for us to eat at the apartment. Lauren and Ryan stopped by, which was nice. We ate food and cake, and then headed back to our current apartments. On Monday I took Moriah to dinner at Fire & Ice in Harvard Square. It was an awesome Monday.

Waiting for our dinner to finish cooking.

FEED ME

We got some drinks while we waited for food.

And Moriah couldn't handle waiting for the sauce to be ON her food.

My first course.

Moriah's.

It was fucking delicious.

Moriah went camera happy on the ride home and I'm pretty sure she blinded a couple of pedestrians with the flash.

Red light Myspace photos, fuck yeah!

Moriah opened her present from my parents when we got back to her apartment.

It was smelly stuff for the apartment! Yayz!

We tore into a package we had got from Macy's.

And Basil tore into the recliner.

It was one of our nice place settings!

In jubilation, Moriah threw a handful of packing peanuts at my face.

We got our desserts from Finale after we had dinner, and brought them home for later. LATER HAD ARRIVED.

Deliciosity.

Moriah started off pretty tame, but soon the dessert got the best of her.

I'm thinking about making this photo my new desktop background.

We did a lot of shit for a Monday night. Fire & Ice is a great restaurant, and it turns out Monday is college night. If you have an I.D. they give you half off your meal, which amounts to chump change for the all you can eat style they bring at that place. Do it up.

Painting, Part Two

Real quick painting update, to get the boring shit out of the way. Moriah and I finished up the second coat on Sunday and spent an hour working on the trim. We’re gonna finish this week so we can be done and ready to move in. Shit looks hot.

I went on the attack as soon as we started. It was early, and I was fucking cranky.

We finished the master first, since it was the biggest pain in the ass.

Master part deux.

Moriah spent a few moments thinking about challenging me to a duel.

After weighing the pros and cons, we fought. She won (but I let her win, since it was the day before her birthday.)

We just need to finish up all the window sills and trim in the place, and then we’re ready for moving in. The wedding is coming soon so we have lots to get done first!

Hold on one second while I BLOG THE SHIT OUT OF THE CAT

Got a brand new DSLR camera (Nikon D40) and decided to try it out. Here are the results.
