Move Number...???

A year ago, I swore I wasn't moving again for a VERY long time. Well, my mind quickly changed when the apartment complex I was living at decided to raise my {already ridiculously expensive} rent by 10%! I can't say I love apartment hunting by any means! Everything I liked was way out of my price range! After searching and searching I found my new place by fluke! It's a junior one-bedroom, which means a studio was converted into a one-bedroom. I say this was fluke because it's the only one of its kind and was just converted. It must have been a HUGE studio, because there's plenty of room for me and all of my stuff--piano included! {Pics to come.}

My Dad flew out for the weekend to help me move, and we {he} recruited some Iowa friends to help. Loading my apartment into the U-Haul wasn't bad at all...I say that because I didn't have to do any heavy lifting! By the time we got to my new apartment and started unloading, the guys were losing muscles so we called a random guy {pretty sure he wasn't legal} we met at the U-Haul store that morning, and his friend, to help. We ended up with SEVEN of us unloading and moving my piano. I'm sure it was quite the site and I really wish someone had recorded it!

I'm finally most of the way settled in! I have one box of random odds and ends left that I need to decide what to do with. Otherwise, home sweet home {for a year at least}!

Napa

A few weeks ago I spent the weekend with Lindsay and her family in Napa. I absolutely love it up there! We spent all day Saturday wine tasting at different wineries. We we to a winery where we did a food pairing with different wines. It was really interesting and amazing how much differently wines taste when paired with different foods. The guy gave us histories and explanations as to why. It was very interesting!





Perfect way to spend my Saturday!


Learning about wine and food pairings








Even Ted gets thirsty!







I was really impressed he can hold that many wine glasses in one hand!



Lindsay and me





I love Napa!
