We did secure our couch on Friday, however, so now we have a beautiful grey comfy number to sit on in the evenings while we watch our favorite shows on Netflix or Hulu (because we got internet, too!) It's our first furniture purchase together and we were both really excited about it. We went to the store, examined every couch, found one we liked, bought it, picked it up, moved it into the house, placed it where we wanted it, and now we sit on it! How grown-up of us.
We've done a little bit of decorating. We hung up a few pieces of artwork but ran out of picture hanging nails and hooks. I have yet to unpack the two "miscellaneous trinkets & keepsakes" boxes because we literally have zero surfaces to put any little treasures on. Garrett's already talking about building an entertainment center and a little corner table for the living room, plus some bookshelves of course, so that'll give us some more options. I hate to leave things unpacked after we lugged it all up here!
Yesterday our friend Bri came over to check out the house. Then we went on a hike/jaunt up Potter's Creek (I think?) trail and it was BEAUTIFUL! It was only about an 8 minute drive from our house but seemed more remote. The leaves are still changing over there so it was like walking through a cave of yellow. Fallen leaves covered the path and you could catch glimpses of the inlet from between the slender birch trees. We didn't run into any moose - hooray! We stopped at a look out point and it was a gorgeous view. It was a sunny afternoon so everything was lit up and all the colors contrasted amazingly. I'd love to go back when the tide is in - maybe to watch a sunset or the northern lights. Bri brought her dog, Thor, which was just what Remy needed. They chased each other almost the entire time and were off leash so she was pooped when we got home.
Today we're heading up to Mammaw & Bill's for Garrett's belated birthday celebration. Other than that, we're just savoring our last day of relaxation before we both head to reality tomorrow! I can't believe my first day of work is less than 24 hours away. It's been over a year since I received my offer and the last 365 days have been spent getting ready for tomorrow. I finished up school, took the exhausting CPA exam, got my butt up here, and now I'll be walking through the doors as a full-time employee. Crazy! Here's to being a full-fledged adult!
