Busy Busy Weekend

This was a crazy busy weekend. Mark and I got a lot accomplished with the move. This is all preliminary moving mind you - the official move doesn't happen until this coming weekend. Our first night will be Saturday, May 31.

Saturday morning we woke up bright and early. Chip, a fellow blogger and someone we'd never met in person, offered to loan us his truck to move Mark's bookshelves. I'm still amazed at the fact that someone we'd never met face to face loaned us his truck for the morning. I'm not that trusting by any stretch of the imagination. Anyway, we had Mark's stuff loaded and unloaded by 10:30. The humidity was so bad that we just looked at each other and decided we were done for the day.

We decided to head up to Rooms To Go - just out of curiosity. We have a big space to fill now. Much to Mark's surprise he qualified for Premier Credit...so we bought some living room and dining room furniture.

Afterward, we decided to go see Indiana Jones at Northpark. If you are a true Indiana Jones fan you will love it. It doesn't have a lot of CGI, it's shot on film - not digital, and is full of the standard Indy one-liners and cheesy jokes. It also has plenty of action and a few nods to past Indiana Jones movies. Here's the deal though - the original 3 movies were based on 40's serials, so the material was too. This one is based on 50's serials - so it's going to have more of a 50's movie plot. Just keep that in mind when watching it. Russians are the enemy and the opening sequence takes place in Area 51(don't worry - they get to South America too.) But, it's still Indiana Jones 100% and I loved it.

So, Sunday we went to Lowe's and Home Depot then went back to the new place and hung blinds, curtains, and shelves. Then we went to Brandon and Dusty's pool party for a few hours to take a break. Afterward we were spent and ended up napping until about 8:30. We got up and packed Mark's glass collection and a few other things.

Monday morning we moved more of Mark's stuff and then went to packing my place. As usual, I'm procrastinating a little which drives Mark crazy, but it's getting done. Every night this week will involve moving boxes upstairs. Thursday the new furniture is delivered to the new loft and Saturday the movers come to do the rest.

I'm tired just writing about it...
