New home and fewer than 100 days to go!

Well, we have officially moved in to our new apartment! My parents came down Wednesday to help us clean and pack up our old apartment (man, what a huge help!), and then on Thursday the four of us and a team of movers got us settled into our new place. Pictures to be posted after we make things look a bit more presentable, but here's the rundown: It's newly renovated, in one of our favorite neighborhoods, and has an open floor plan. We now have two pools in our complex, plus a workout room, which are both big steps up from the old place. And our rent is significantly lower! Unfortunately, it's noticeably smaller than our last apartment and in an area with higher traffic. But we're getting settled and already loving the positive aspects of our new home. It will be the first place we'll live as a married couple, so we know it'll be awesome.

As we settle in, we're trying to stay on top of all the wedding planning - a slightly more difficult task when we can't remember which box has the wine corks and which box has the invitations. So tonight we focused on tasks we can complete online, like updating our registry and figuring out our welcome gifts for out of town guests. Terry pointed out that we are 97 days away from the wedding - wow! It's starting to get close, but we think our planning efforts have kept us fairly organized and ready to tick off the last three months without much stress. I'm personally super excited for my first bridal shower next weekend and shopping with my mom to find her dress for the big day.

By the way, is anyone following William and Kate's wedding plans? I'm admittedly in love with this couple. What's not to love? Royalty, British accents, a future princess - it's the fairy tale of our time. I just bought the "Will & Kate: The Royal Wedding" special edition of US Weekly, and I devoured every detail. I can't wait to see the real thing, though I have been told it might not be an awesome idea to watch a wedding at 1:00 am on a work day. Still, I fully intend to read every news story I can, and I also hope to follow through on Terry's cousin's idea for us to go as William and Kate for Halloween! Bloody brilliant!
