Major Power Outage

Well, count me (and my brother and boyfriend) in among the 231,000+ Columbus residents still without power after Ike ripped through the midwest. Luckily, my brother and I were coming back to our hometown, so we're not suffering in the dark. Our power has been out since about 4:15pm on Sunday. Needless to say, all our food is a lost cause now! We didn't have too much to lose, but it still is going to be a pain to restock.

In other news, my brother will be moving into his new apartment this upcoming weekend. Finally we'll be able to fully settle everything into our new place, and hopefully I'll take some pictures. Other than that, not much is going on.

We Are Moved!

We're all moved in! Friday and Saturday were our big moving and cleaning the old apartment days. My boyfriend's brother came down to help us out and with the three manly boys (including my brother), they got to do all the hauling. I got to sit in the new place and assemble furniture (my new computer desk, a 5-shelf bookcase, and our entertainment center). I love assembling furniture. I'm sad that we didn't have more!

Everything is pretty much settled here. We have a few issues we need fixed (all our outlets are upside down and my key broke in the lock on Sunday), but overall we're very happy. All we need now are a few more pieces of furniture and to finish finding homes for all our stuff.

Pictures in a few weeks when everything is more settled!
