We signed our lease!

It's official, folks, Nick and I have an apartment starting June 8th (Happy birthday to meeeee!) and ending May 31, 2013!! Yippeeeee!

It was so nice to go in with Nick and feel like we were signing up for our lives together, because even though we get married next year, we're living together for this year! Let me tell you, we are both so excited and ready for our own place, and this little one-bedroom is so perfect for us. Most might think that having to move on your birthday would suck, but to me, it's a great birthday present! We don't have much furniture besides our bed, so it's really just going to be moving that in, moving our boxes in (mostly filled with clothing), and then unpacking and reorganizing, which, HELLO, is right up my alley. I seriously cannot wait to get my hands on organizing that walk-in closet!! Also, since it's my birthday, and there are a few things we'll need to buy for our place, I'm planning Nick taking me shopping for my present - shopping for kitchen stuff, that is! :)

It was such a beautiful day, and we were so excited about our new apartment, that we thought, "What better way to celebrate than with Starbucks happy hour??" Clearly, it was needed. I mean, it's been going on since Friday and I haven't been once. This needed to change. We both got the new mocha cookie crumple frappucino, mine light, his regular (I stole some of his whipped cream), and they were fantastic. Then it was off to Red Lobster for a celebration dinner (gotta love those cheesey biscuits0! It was really quite the perfect afternoon :)

[deliciousness]

[Nick, about to devour his "Ultimate Feast" of shrimp, lobster, and crab. He was in heaven]

[This is definitely part of my lunch today - SO MUCH FOOD)

Oh! And in other news, I officially booked my flight home in July for some wedding planning this summer! So excited to be home! I also recently found out that my sis and bro-in-law will be home a few days at that time, and the Nordstrom sale will be going on around the same time I'm home..... I think I subconsciously knew that when I planned my days.... or maybe I'm just lucky my friends' weddings were around that time. Either way, I'm shopping when I'm home.
