Once again, lots has happened since I last updated.

3 weeks ago Nick packed up and drove to LA to start a new life and Amanda and I took the next step in ours. After he left in the morning on Saturday, we headed straight for IKEA in Woodbridge, VA. After spending a few hours walking around and shopping, we left with a whole new kitchen (including some dishes, utensils, things like that), dining room (including bar stools, dining table, four chairs to match, a bakers rack), a living room (including a couch, arm chair with ottoman, end table), bedroom (bedframe to go with our matresses, dresser, night stand) and many other assorted items. Our apartment truly looks like an IKEA catalog.

Nearing the end of our IKEA trip, we were rushed to rent a van, load the van, drive back home, unpack the van and return the van all within a very limited time. We were crunched for time because amanda and I had adopted two cats from the local shelter. We made it back, and my friend Harris helped us unload, so it only took maybe 20 minutes. We did all our running and made it to the shelter for our appointment and got our two handsome boys. They're adorable and I'll definitely post pictures soon.

Since this saturday three weeks ago, we've built all our furniture (as almost everything from IKEA comes in a flatbox) and really had time to settle down with our new lifestyle. The cats quickly became best friends with each other, and are very loving to us. They're pretty cool. Everything is going great.

Amanda and I are heading back to MI next weekend for my cousins graduation party, and we're looking forward to that. We were never 100% positive we could go, so we decided that we'd drive back, and it saves a ton of money too! I'm excited to be in MI next weekend, but until then, I'm very busy at work. I love you all, can't wait to see you soon!

Bye!!!
