Week in Review

I'm in shock that it's Friday already.  I know we always say time flies, but good grief.  This week has been a blur!


1 and 2 go together this week.  I spent all of Monday painting the gigantic six foot desk I found on craigslist.  It's a lovely light gray color that makes the office/guest room look delightful, even if the desk is way too big.  


3.  We went to a luau last night with my grandparents at the Hale Koa!  I've never been to one and it was really neat.  Towards the middle of the show, the MC found the longest married couple (58 years!), sang to them and had all the other married couples dance.  I realized since we didn't have a first dance at our wedding, this was Erik and I's first married dance.  I definitely got emotional.  It was a really nice evening.


4.  Everything finally arrived.  Our apartment here is much smaller than our old apartment in Moscow, so this is going to be interesting.  Clearly I'm putting off unpacking because I'm here or doing my assignments or some other silly thing (like watching my wedding video).  Most of the dishes arrived unscathed, but unfortunately the clay mug we purchased on our honeymoon totally collapsed.  That's probably the most disappointing damage I have found so far.  But after waiting over a month, I'm just thankful anything got here at all.  You all know what I'll be doing this weekend.. :).


Happy Friday!

  1. I'm so glad you enjoyed the Luau. I can still taste the fried bananas and the pineapple! I hope Erik asked for a take-home box with all the leftover meat from your plates. He could eat for a week! Keep up the blogging. :)

    1. Both the fried bananas and the pineapple were so good! Erik got two full boxes of leftover meat and probably will be eating it for work lunches every day over the next week. Love you too!

  2. Jeeze, Germany, Moscow, you've lived everywhere! You're living quite the adventurous life :) Arg, unpacking. Probably the thing I hate the most in this whole world. It's too bad about your mug, but I thought your first dance part was super super sweet!

    1. I actually lived in Moscow, ID although Russia would have been super neat! Yeah, the mug is just a thing though, I'm trying to be a little less.... attached I suppose. Thank you for your sweet comment :).

    Oh no, maybe you can buy another landmark mug sometime soon to replace it!
