Moving is a Pain!

We did it. We looked, we applied for, and we got our first apartment. We are totally gonna move in together. EEEEEP!!! I'm going to live not only with another human (it's been since... what... 2014 or so since I've had a roomie), but with my husband!! I've never had a hubby roomie before! This is gonna be a trip! We did get a special for moving in, which will help our bank accounts because moving is EXPENSIVE! And we also decided to get movers cuz I'm moving from a 2nd floor apt to a 3rd floor, he's moving from 1st to 3rd, so we need help. They came on the 22nd for me.

My bit... laundry and closet.

This is 100% the BEST way to move your closet. Also, the washer and dryer work, and the fridge is stocked with things from my fridge (the stuff that isn't expired, anyway). 

The chocolate drawer is see thru... this is bad juju.

We also got the last bits all done to get married in the church. The pre Cana class has been really interesting. The communication training on "safe space conversations" was fascinating. Like, person 1 says something then person 2 has to repeat that back to them, ask if they got it right and then ask "is there more." You also have to sit knee to knee. It's to ensure that what is being said is truly being received and trying to get to the core of an issue. J and I pretty much had implemented our own rules for discussions, which kind of matches the rules for proposing: well rested, sober, and not in bed. Lol. The financial stuff is interesting too because I know I get weird about budgeting since I believe that's part of why my parents divorced. One thing I know I'm going to insist on is going thru our budget together, and probably doing a financial check in fairly often in the beginning, then going to yearly when we both feel comfortable doing that. We have decided a dollar limit on purchasing an item without discussing it first. Neither of us want to police the other, and we are trying to make sure we anticipate certain issues. We know we can't prepare for everything, but it's good to know we are on the same page for a lot of things.

One of the things that just happened... I found my first white shower hair. You know shower hair, right? The strands that come out when you are washing your hair. Sometimes you let them fall, lately I've been making art out of them on the wall, then throwing it away once the shower is done. Well, I had trouble finding one of the hairs on my hand, put it on the wall, and couldn't see it. My first white shower hair. So I'm not crazy, I have been seeing hairs lighter than my dishwater blonde. I'm 100% ready for them all to go white... as long as they continue to grow! Hehe. 

Js friends had a joint bday party for 3 who have bdays in march. Much fun. Before we went there, we went to velvet taco and then Nebraska Furniture mart.

SOOOOOO Yummy

they have a wine bar in the store!!!

we found our kitchen table!!!

It's crazy to me that we are actually moving in together and getting married and everything!!! I'm planning on a bath later, it's going to be AMAZING.
