Yay, Warren came down on Saturday and we laid around and watched a movie & made some soup. It was nice to relax. On Sunday we went shopping for certain necessities...like a couch...and (Warren is rather insistent) a flat TV. I think I may have to give in on that one. He's been hounding me for it since we got married! But it might be best because I don't know that we'll have bedroom space to hold a dresser-type stand with a TV. SO, we might have an extra TV floating around if anyone needs one...that is if they work.

Ugh, we marathon shopped too. I think we went to like 10 places and some of those were the same place, we just went twice!! We ended up going back to some to re-sit on the couch and then take a photo on our phones to remember what we'd looked at.

BUT long story short, we decided on the couch at RoomsToGo last night and a TV at Sears and we've looked at lots of stuff at Target & Wal-mart & IKEA that I'm not sure if we'll need until we unpack cause I'm not sure what kind of storage stuff we'll need in the apartment. Like an over the toilet type cabinet, or a closet shelf, or another dresser. I've no idea what kind of sheets made it or got tossed (but I did find a Tuesday Morning store last night)...random stuff like that.

Also, I am supposed to be getting our deposit back today from our landlords and we are going to sign the lease on the apartment today after school. Warren has been great getting on the phone to people to turn on electric, set up installations, etc. It has been nice to have him down here to do that stuff. Too bad he goes back and starts Family Med. on Monday! Lol, we had actually had that planned pre-Ike because it puts him in the Dallas area for the holidays already.

I am excited to move in! I'll be glad to sleep on a real matress! And get dressed without worrying about flashing anyone! (Luv u Mark! But tired of the air matress and wearing all the clothes!!).

It will be nice to have Grace and Pete move back in over Thanksgiving too...I miss them!!

1. Our date night turned out to be tickets to an Alanis Morissette concert in Houston!! SO much fun!

2. We got to play with baby tigers that same weekend!! So CUTE!

3. I flew up for Halloween weekend and we carved pumpkins at Wanda's and spent the weekend at Mom's relaxing.

4. We heard from UTMB last weekend and they asked for Warren to rank the cities where he would like to start off starting in January...so his top three are Galveston, Houston, and Dallas. Hopefully he will be able to maybe at least go back and forth between Houston and Galveston.

5. We also heard from our landlords on Saturday and she said they had nailed down a time frame with their contractor and he said it would be next spring. (Duh) So she said she needed to give us our deposit back so that we could find a place to live.

6. All of that spurred us to decide to move into an apartment. So we checked on Mark's apartment complex to see if they had anything open and they did. So I got an apartment this past week.

7. Our new address is: 3045 Marina Bay Drive, Apt. 14109, League City, TX 77573.

8. We get to move in next week! I think she said it will be ready on Wednesday of next week. Woohoo :)

9. I went to Ikea and repurchased our bedroom nightstands (thankyouthankyou to those of you who sent us some $$) and a few other things that I knew we threw out...like a set of curtains and a new floor lamp, etc.

10. I also checked to see if they could replace our two bottom dresser drawers that got damaged and moldy...like if they could order the spare parts or something. BUT they had it all right there in their parts department!! So I walked away with new drawers to put together for the bottom of our dresser!! FREE!! yay :)

& that's it for now because school is over and I've been writing this for like 4 hours now! lol
