boxes on boxes on boxes... & thai food

boxes on boxes on boxes!!

they say that a picture is worth 1,000 words. if that's the case, then this picture says it all! no, but seriously, this pretty much sums up my friday through sunday.

the move started out friday night with my fish tank. my 30gal, although in the perfect place for optimal living room flow, was also in optimal being-in-the-way position for the move. so, it just had to be the very first thing to go over to the new house. let me tell you, moving any fish tank larger than 10 gallons is no fun. the good news, there were no casualties.

and as if there weren't enough boxes cluttering up the apartment, i caught a lil shopping bug... :D

we needed more boxes for packing, right? ;)

after a long day of moving on saturday, we relaxed and chit chatted over thai food and a glass of wine. funny story about this wine, my friend/new roomie and i were in the mood to try something new. we usually opt for a cab when we buy wine together, but were feeling a tad adventurous. neither of us knows a lick about wine though, so we had to recruit the help of Total Wine's specialist. i feel bad for him lol. imagine two girls asking for a wine rec, but all you had to go off is, "we're looking for a white wine that isn't too sweet." yikes! but he was a doll, and picked out the perfect bottle for the night.

the spicy notes paired perfectly with our spicy thai dinner!

sunday was extra busy this week, since we had to stock our new fridge with healthy goodies. TJ's and Whole Foods were both incredibly busy, but we still managed to make it in and out of both stores in record time! we also made stops at Home Goods (for a few, well... home goods haha), Bath & Body (where we binge shopped for room scents... our house smells delicious now ;) ), Michael's (i was on a mission to find a wreath, but no luck yet), and Home Depot (for an outdoor trash can and cleaning supplies). the rest of the day was spent unpacking and finding a place for everything. i have to say, we made amazing progress for just having a day to settle in.

i'm no fan of monday's, but i'm hoping it treats me, and you, well. :)
