I'm Ba-ack!
Sort of.
The last few weeks have been spent doing things like finishing plans for a wedding, getting married, moving, flying across the country, and meeting new family members. Until a few days ago, I didn't even have access to a computer long enough to write anything. Sad, right?
Anyway, the move is (mostly) complete. And, as promised, I quit my regular job to help my new husband with his, which gives me rather more time than I had before. Now that I'm done opening boxes that I don't remember what I put in them, anyway.
It's all been a rather dizzying adventure. Having my husband tell me to "put this with the X-box" and then ask me if I knew what one was was definitely one of the funnier moments. (I didn't know, by the way.) Another funny moment was when I realized that his idea of decorating means everything in black, white, and a rather boring shade of brown, which, to be fair, looks nice with greens. (He only bought the red sheets when my mother and I visited last year.)
I also met my sister-in-law, a cute little bundle of chattering nine-year-old. Who has proceeded to follow me pretty much everywhere, presenting me with such handmade treasures as rubber band bracelets in every conceivable color combination.
I also met two of my three brothers-in-law, but since they didn't follow me around everywhere talking about Shopkins and Minecraft, I don't know much about them yet. Except that they like sports. Which, if you know me, is a laughable combination. The first hockey game I watched (tried to watch) ended with me trying to figure out which team was which, because they were both wearing the same colors.
I've learned some rather valuable things as well, such as cooking for two people is different than cooking for six; never take a dresser or closet for granted; if you want leftovers eaten, sometimes you have to do it yourself; and if you can't rid of it, organize it so it at least looks decent.
I'm sure I'll have plenty of things to rant about in the future, but that's all for this week! I've got a big, heavy dresser I need to prepare for.
