Settling in

Well as some people know we moved apartments this weekend and it was not completely smooth. We walked into our new apartment and it has a lot of issues. Broken windows, stains on the carpet, residue of a spilled drink on the window seal, and worst of all, the fridge and freezer smell so rancid I make Treven open it to get anything. I went to the office and had a discussion with the apartment assistant manager and things are in the process of being taken care of. We did discover last night the culprit of the nasty fridge smell. There is a leak under the fridge by the fan and nasty things are growing. It is unfortunate that a place that bills itself as a "luxury apartment" was in such bad shape, but I guess that is just Treven and I's amazing luck we seem to have. To add to the awesome luck I took my camera to take pictures and as I was leaving I opened the door to the stairs, which bumped me and the camera went flying out of my hands, all I could say as I watched in horror while the camera hit every stair and rail for 3 floors was, "oh sh**" When I found the camera on the first floor I couldn't believe it wasn't in a million pieces, and it's pretty banged up BUT it does still work. Hopefully we can get if fixed.
Once all of our issues are taken care of this place will hopefully be a nice place to live. We are on the third floor so we have floor to ceiling windows, vaulted ceilings, a built in office area, separate tub and shower, fireplace, much bigger bedroom, and we are only 5 minutes away from my work and it's the same to Treven's work.
Moving is stressful and very tiring, but at least today everything is done and we are spending the day relaxing before another work week begins.

When the cats away, the mice will play!

Early Thursday morning Treven took off with his brother to go to their family reunion. I opted to stay home as 10 hours of driving, 2 days of camping, and 10 hours of driving sounded like no fun to me. But I had a great couple of days of playing on my own.
Friday morning Charlie and I went for a run. Then I met my friend Jodi for lunch and deep fried oreo's (yum)! Followed by a window shopping trip at the mall. Friday night was off to the Rio for Joe's farewell party. He used to work with Treven but is now off to bigger and better things, and someone had to represent the Porters! Although, I did miss Treven a lot because it is tough to be the only sober person at a party. It felt like the college days rolling into my apartment complex at 2:30 a.m.
Of course unlike the college days I can no longer sleep until noon or later, I was wide awake by 9, my former college self would be disgusted! But no time to rest since it was off to the mall for more shopping with Joe and Paco. After a new sweater, new shoes, new shirt for Treven, a new clutch bad, and some great outfits for Joe at his new job it was off to J. Alexanders for lunch with Becky and then to a movie, followed by more shopping!
At that point I was exhausted and headed home to lay on the couch to do nothing. Followed by a call from Treven who said they were heading home at 10 o'clock at night and would be here bright and early. So much for relaxing I hadn't cleaned the house since Thursday and it was trashed!
As much fun as it was I was happy to be woken up this morning by a very sleepy Treven, even if I did have an upset stomach and I wanted to roll over and die. All in all minus feeling sick this morning I had a fun weekend!
