Once Upon A Time...

...Matt came to visit! And despite the fact that immigration could have said no, no, no- Matt charmed the Immigration Officer faster than Winehouse nabbed some blow and a Grammy! And so for five lovely days, we got to live like a real couple in the new someday-to-be ours apartment!

We held a summit at IKEA to conquer the hutch vs. dresser debate...


...and got some lovely new furniture!

We painted...


...looked good doing it in our Home Depot caps!


We had a Sunday roast complete with Yorkshire pudding!
(in my new red roasting pan ala the Doughertys!)

Oh, and we argued because we are both stubborn, delightful people used to doing it our own way. And so we may have clashed swords but we are each others' rock and hard place for better or worse. Thankfully, we completely agree that laughter breaks down all of our walls!


And even though we hoped Virgin might call a snow day,
he had to go.
Which made our new someday-to-be ours apartment seem... empty!
And so now, I am back to Immigration SUCKS!

The End

Well, our new TV does fill that wall quite nicely.
(despite leaving James terribly perplexed!)
