Last weekend we packed like mad and I discovered I had gotten carried away when, on Monday morning before work, I fancied some toast and coffee only to find I had already packed the toaster and kettle. It was hard to believe that that just four months earlier I arrived with only two suitcases and a box with all my worldly posessions. Suddenly I had a two bedroom flat with furniture to move. Thank goodness Kieran took charge with the dis-assembly and re-assembly of the furniture cause I didn't have a clue. Even more fortunate was the army of friends and family who helped us all afternoon/evening to transport our stuff. Amazing help, definitely made the process go faster.
Despite our current issues with Virgin Media causing us to rely on iPhone hotspot tricks and subsisting on Freeview TV (not so bad, I still get to catch Eastenders and Come Dine With Me), things are starting to get back to normal. Both of us love the new place and are excited about putting our personal style in it (once we unpack everything, of course).
On a different note, I've been griping all summer long about England's apparently lack of summer weather. Suddenly we're due for a heat wave at long last! Looks like we'll be getting that Indian Summer that has been predicted. Better late than never, eh? It happens to be quite good timing for us, as I booked a rental car this weekend so the hubby and I can take some fun day trips as a little "stay-cation." Looks like we'll have the right weather for adventure and photo ops!
Next week I get my first paycheck! I can't believe next week will be a whole month since I started my new job, it's flown by! Incidently, next week will be our 6 month wedding anniversary. Dang, we've made it further than most celebrity couples! Given my paycheck and some important milestones, we have good reason to celebrate!
I'll leave you with some pics from the last few weeks...

| Kieran and I used to sit on these rocks when I would come visit and talk about the future and feel bad for ourselves about having to say goodbye again. Now we live just a few miles from this very spot! <3 |
