Moving

No, not us, Carolin and Jason have just moved into their first grown-up apartment. You know, that first place where there are not siblings, no parents and no roommates. The one where you actually have to unpack all of the boxes instead of living out of them.

The place is adorable, I will post photos after the new furniture arrives. We unpacked, threw away junk, put up books, organized the kitchen, bedroom, livingroom, etc. They had made a good start but we worked like crazy to "get 'er done!" When I left there were only a few boxes of J's electronics stuff (that I wouldn't touch for love or money) and a few boxes of papers that needed to be filed. They now have some flowers arrangments, baskets, knick knacks, original art (thanks to J's grandmother who is a fantastic painter), a dining table, a kitchen that Carolin made dinner in for the first time and a livingroom sans lawn chairs. It will look beautiful once the new stuff is in! Thanks to J's brother Bryan and his sweetheart Jen for their help, Bryan loaned the kids a sofa until their's is delivered and both Bryan and Jen gave lots of good ideas and input on the new furniture! You guys should stop by, you won't believe the difference since Sunday!

Anyway, I am back home and much to my surprise the boys (Micah and Maddock) had the house looking perfect, the dogs were still alive, the lawn was mowed and there was even clean laundry just waiting to be folded (honestly I like to fold it!) I loved it! And best of all, there were no new holes in the walls. (those of you that have known us a while know that this is a common occurance here at the Johnstons.)

Now back to the wedding plans... caterers, florists, etc. No wait first...a few errands, some advil and a pedicure...then back to the wedding.
