I don't know how it is where you are, but it sure feels like summer here! We've been at or near record temperatures this weekend in the mid-90s. Thankfully, our apartment complex's pool opened up just in time for this little heat wave, so I've been enjoying that lovely amenity! I came to this pool last year as a guest of a friend who lives here, but it's kind of fun to be able to go or not go totally on my own timetable. I've also enjoyed being able to "pay it forward" by inviting another friend to join me.
Other than that, I don't think there's anything too interesting to report. We're still enjoying the new place (although it is considerably warmer than our garden-level apartment was, so on a day like this the A/C runs constantly). We managed to get out to see the Avengers at our inexpensive local theater. I've been reading a lot...quite a leisurely summer so far! We still don't know how the rest of the summer will shake out, so I'm just trying to relax and go with the flow, which seems to be working for now. :-)

More Pics
We've been working hard to get settled in over the last few days, and we're really close now! Things seem to be unpacked and tidy enough to take some more pics, but you'll notice a few stray boxes, and Mark's practice room really isn't finished yet. I also haven't unpacked my curio cabinet, put up pictures, or finished organizing our DVDs and CDs. Overall, though, we're getting settled. And, with a few small exceptions, I'm really happy with this place. So, here's a look at how we've got it set up (pardon the weird lighting in a few...I guess I'm no photographer!).
So, what do you think? Want a closer look? Come for a visit! :-)

| Even though the kitchen is still galley style, it's considerably wider than our last one, which makes it a lot nicer! |

The New Place
Today was a big day! Mark had school stuff all day (juries, presentations, etc), but I got to pick up our keys, pay our rent, and start moving in to our new place! I worked on my own in the morning, but a friend helped me out in the afternoon. By the time we finished up at 4pm, I/we had moved a total of 4 carloads over and unpacked at set up the kitchen (well, most of it...I kept some things at our old place to use for the rest of the week). I'm pretty tired, but it was fun to take Mark over after he was done at school and show him what I'd gotten done. Before I started bringing stuff in, I took some pics. Once we're all settled in, I'll take more. But, for those of you eager to see how the apartment looks, here you go!
When you walk in the door, you can go left into the living room:
or right into the kitchen.
There's a hallway that leads to the bedrooms, with a hall bath on the right side.
On the left, there are two small bedrooms.
On the right, our master with a small bathroom.
So that's the tour!
