Feeling like "HOME" again
My favorite day of the long weekend was definitely Sunday. Adam and I spent the day restoring some order to our packed, in-limbo apartment. I had wanted to do this weeks ago, but just wasn't mentally ready to throw-in the towel and admit defeat (that we were going to be stuck living here). Next weekend I am away and the following weekend we have a bunch of friends staying with us, so this was the time to get this project done.
At this point, we are planning on living in our current apartment until we find a house to buy, and are mentally prepared for this to take until next Spring. It was time to unpack things that we use with some degree of frequency and make the place look more like home. Not only did we unpack some of the things we use often (mainly kitchen stuff), we also reorganized the boxes that are still packed, hung some things back on the walls, and finally threw away that skanky couch!!!

Finally hanging the Philadelphia Photo that Adam got me for my birthday last July - wow, that took a long time!
GOODBYE COUCH!! It was actually a bit of a battle to get rid of this puppy - Adam wanted to hold on to it - why? I'm not quite sure. The living room felt HUGE once we finally got the couch out.
