MBT shoes

I apologize for my weekend absence; Chris and I had a million things to do over the past two days which left me without computer access.

My knocked up twin rolled into town at the perfect time.  Carrie arrived Friday to lend a hand in our official moving/unpacking efforts.  Though overweight in the midsection and sporting stretch pants minus the stirrups, Carrie rocked-the-house.  Going above and beyond the call of duty, she was instrumental in cleaning the old house, acting as a temporary life coach and organizing the new crib.

FRIDAY DINNER
All I'm going to say is "questionable-looking Key Lime Pie."


Saturday was spent making several trips back and forth to the old house/new house.  Carrie and I were able to parlay a quick trip to IKEA for some crucial items.  Apparently it was "All Ugly People of the West Suburbs of Chicago Day" at the Bolingbrook IKEA.  Holy crap.  MBTs, stretch jeans that weren't suppose to be stretchy, vats of cinnamon rolls being ingested by the morbidly obese and toddlers with beer guts DOESN'T even COME CLOSE to what we witnessed.



Thankfully, Carrie and I were able to get out unscaithed without any apparent hives or broken shoe laces.

After Carrie left on Sunday morning, Chris and I packed up the last of the our things from the old house's basement, gestured our middle fingers and hit the road.  While on 63rd, just west of Cass Avenue the unthinkable happened:

We failed to strap the plastic shelving to the truck bed, so basically we were acting as a lovely 20-mph catapult for non-trajectory objects.  The picture is a bit dramatic and completely inaccurate, however very funny.  No car was damaged behind us, however we did have to pull over and pick up the shelves in the middle of the road.  Classic.  The only thing missing was Alabama's Greatest Hits playing in the background and some 2-Liters of Mountain Dew.

Several nights slept at our new digs, I've never been happier.  Though wedding planning is looming overhead, I feel like there is so much to look forward to:

1.)  Baby Greta Norton being born and having her first photographs taken while wearing lederhosen
2.)  Nate and Shortcake's Park City Wedding Extravaganza
3.)  The Kristy Luurs-Munch Spring Garage Sale Spectacular where Everything Must Go
