Halfway Through Moving in

I'm sitting right now in the new living room. The only furniture is a desk chair and my TV. We've moved a lot of stuff in but most of the furniture is waiting until saturday. Sears came and delivered the washer and dryer and I'm currently on my 3rd load tonight (I don't think I've ever done 3 loads in one week let alone in 1 day. If you want to see pics, look at the slideshow below (there are also pics from the race Kate's brother, sister & cousin ran Saturday and the Sabres game Saturday night):




In other news, my sister Laura had her first baby! John Cole Guidotti was born yesterday 3/15/2009. Congrats to the new mom and dad!


A little over 3 months to go until the big day...

Packing & Moving

I've started packing up my stuff to move into our apartment. The lease on the new place starts on Sunday, the 15th. Our big moving day is March 21st. If you wanna help us move on the 21st let us know! I can't believe how much crap I've accumulated in 3 years living in this apartment. In the bedroom alone, I've had 5 bags of crap I didn't need anymore.

Sold My Futon

So today was a pretty big day. I sold my futon. I had bought my futon prior to my junior year of college at UB. This futon was my bed when I lived in the shithole of an apartment I had on Minnesota Street in Buffalo. When my senior year came around and I moved back on campus to the South Lake Village, I didn't really need the futon because it was furnished. My roomates and I found space on for it, in our living room. 

Finally once I moved here, 3 years ago it became a part of my living room. The futon was always great when I had parties because it was always an extra couch for people to sit at and then people had somewhere to sleep on so that they wouldn't have to worry about driving home (I never let people drive home after a crazy night of drinking).

Now, that we are getting an apartment together, it became the piece of furniture without a place. I decided that it would be a good way to start my new life by selling it. By selling it, it represents the move from being a bachelor to my new life with the love of my life, Kaitlyn. Since putting it up on Craiglist, I have done a lot of thinking about how much my life has changed since I had bought it originally. I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life.

Updates!

A lot has been going on the last few weeks. Matt and I finally decided to live in Daniels Creek Apartments. We got our washer and dryer which will be delivered the day after we start moving into the new apartment. I think Matt already blogged about all that though! I am so excited to begin our new life together. I can't wait to set to decorate "our" apartment. We've slowly been going through his current apartment room by room and started to get rid of stuff and clean stuff out. He sold his old futon. I hate it, and he loves it...so that was a really sweet gesture from him. We also have settled on Elegant Expressions as our cake baker for the wedding. The cake was phenomenal and reasonably priced. Everything is starting to come together. My mom and I are going on the 16th to finalize the menu for the reception. I can't believe there's only about 4 1/2 months left before we get married!!!!

5 Months to Go!

5 Months to go... already been engaged for 9 months...

I can't believe how time just flies... these last few months will be hard having to wait through all the anticipation though... we're plugging right along with the wedding planning... Today we found out that we our approved for our aparment, which is very exciting... yesterday, we went to Sears and picked out our washer and dryer for our apartment... im so excited to not have to drive to my parents every week to do laundry.... 

we've been looking at cakes and we should have a decision in the next couple weeks...

Its awesome seeing everything come together!

We got an apartment!

We have chosen a new apartment for us to live in. Its down the street from where I live now on the other side of Webster. Send either of us an email if you want our new address. We move in March 15th. I'm overlapping the lease with my current lease so that we have 2 weeks to move everything from here to there. The biggest thing we were looking for was washer and dryer hookups. This place seem to be a lot newer than where I am now and has better window. Square footage wise its about the same size as my plae now. We're excited that we finally have chosen our first home together!

In other news, we started  looking at a few cake places. We'll probably know soon who we went with.

New Apartment

Matt and I finally settled on where we want to live! They're really nice town houses in Irondequoit. We saw them on-line and decided to go there tonight. We loved them. They're slightly bigger than the apartment Matt lives in now and it also has a big basement and tons of closets to store stuff. We are so excited! The whole way home we were talking about where we would put the furniture and how we would arrange everything. We still have to go through the application process and everything and he still has his current lease until the end of April. He's planning on moving in around March 15 and that will give him 2 weeks to move everything. I obviously won't move in until we get married. I can't wait!

As far as wedding news- the only major thing left to do is pick a cake baker. I'm going to try and set up a few apointments for Saturday morning. There's a ton of little stuff to do but we're getting there. Only 5 and 1/2 months left to go!!!

Fish and names for them

Matt and I got goldfish for his apartment. The tank is really pretty! We need to think of some good names for the two fish. We put water Lilly bulbs in the tank and they should grow in about 20 days. Fish are a good pet for an apartment...we don't have to walk them (or change the littler) and they won't wake up any neighbors by barking in the middle of the night.
