Almost!!
We have two boxes left! One has photographs and things to be placed on the wall. The other has board games and puzzles, which are the only things left that I have no place for.... I will have to figure that one out this week...
Max was a real hero for me today. He took apart Jake's entertainment center and set up everything on ours. He assembled the two new DVD shelving units and I unpacked all of the cases. Having them all displayed with extra space makes it seem like there are far fewer than the three boxes it took to pack them. He helped me move the reclining chair to the other side of the living room. He put together the lamp with shelved to put in the bedroom and moved the floor lamp he and his dad made into the living room. He helped me move furniture around as we got everything to fit. He assembled the extra large glass front shelving unit which we hoped to wall mount. With the metal studs we found the other day though, this unit has now become the coffee table, and the coffee table has moved outside, soon to be accompanied by two chairs. We have all of our knickknacks on display and all of our books on shelves.
We finally decided it was time to get some groceries. Costco is still terrifying, so we tried out the T&T Supermarket across the way near the Starbucks I like. Turns out, it's an Asian food market. Lots of pig feet, whole chicken, and live food. Nothing against that food, it's just not for Max and I. We rounded up some essentials, milk, butter, eggs, bread, and found our way back home. We still have some learning to do regarding downtown grocery shopping. The bread was fairly squished by the time we got home, and a mountain or stairs with a gallon of milk is not an easy thing. We will navigate this eventually, but today was not our day.
It was the day for wedding invitations however!! We got a rough draft emailed to us from the amazing and talented Heather Dickie! We'd requested something with a hint of the infinity symbol, as it means so much to our relationship, and she delivered flawlessly! The yellow and grey is still the most beautiful thing I've seen and I'm so excited to finally mail these out to the people we love.
