Monday 7/26 - I was sick with a fever and had to stay home from work. My awesome husband stayed up all night with me making me soup at four in the morning and generally just being wonderful. In the afternoon I ran some errands and we house hunted.
Tuesday 7/27 - Went to work a little later in the day (still not feeling too well) and then house hunted like crazy.
Wednesday 7/28 - I felt substantially better and went to work. Lamoni picked me up and I took him to work. Afterwards I went to play tennis with Abby and we went to get Iceberg. It was delish. Then Abby and I house hunted for a while.
Thursday 7/29 - Lamoni received a raise in pay! We were so excited and decided to celebrate by going out to eat at a new restaurant called The Shabu Shabu House. It was very good. Then we went to the park to meet Abby and Anthony and did conditioning.
Friday 7/30 - After work, I met Lamoni on campus and we called a guy about a duplex we were interested in. He said to meet him there at 6:30. We did and made a deal to move in! However, we were too late to go turn on the electricity and the gas so we have been living in a cave all weekend. Then we went on a date and saw Shrek 4. It was ok but I haven't stopped thinking about the plot all weekend. This was a conversation from yesterday:
Amy: "Lamoni, am I your true love?"
Lamoni: "Yes."
Amy: "So, are you saying that if I hadn't come along to rescue you from the tower, someone else wouldn't have come? And you would have had to rescue yourself?"
Lamoni, after a pause: "....I believe that is correct."
Saturday 7/31 - We spent all day moving things from the old house. It took several truckloads (4 people's accumulated junk) and one trip to the dump ($17 to dump 2 TVs?? Ridiculous! Needless to say, we did not dump our TVs.) Then Abby and I went to Ikea and I bought a couch, a chair, a kitchen table, a desk, and an office chair for the new house. We then spent all weekend organizing our food storage. It took forever. Then we organized our things and set to work on putting together our furniture. Once that was taken care of we went to the old house to clean. While we were there I broke down and cried because of a sudden and overwhelming sense of nostalgia and homesickness.
Monday 8/2 - Woke up to discover that my bike has been stolen. I hate our neighborhood.

Sounds like a BUSY, busy week. Sorry you were sick! I love the "true love" conversation. Sounds like a Tyler/Sydney conversation in 20 years. (Well, except, since they are cousins, it wouldn't be about "true love." Just funny like that, YKWIM?) Your bike was stolen??!!! I'm so sad and mad!
I must admit, mom, it took me a while to get what YKWIM means:)
Crap! Where did you move to?! (Oh, I am glad that you are feeling better, but seriously, how RUDE that someone stole your bike!) I think that you are wonderful Amy :)
