Yesterday was our one-year anniversary. Last year on May 31st, we were surrounded by our friends and family and proclaimed our undying love for one another. Unfortunately, our cake topper is still in a freezer in Colorado so we were unable to complete the “eating a year-old, freezer-burned piece of cake” portion of our anniversary.
Still, it was a good day. I’ve been nagging Atkins a lot (to the point of annoyance, I would imagine) about how much I hate our current bed. I finally put my foot down and said that I refuse to move this bed one more time. I constantly wake up with back aches, neck pains, you name it. So, we decided to go bed shopping for our anniversary. It also serves as our anniversary present to each other.
We decided on the Angelique mattress from Simmons. We went to Macy’s during their mattress/furniture sale and got a pretty good deal, I must say. It’s so amazingly comfortable! The nicest thing is that we agreed on it right away. We were both afraid that we would each like a different mattress and our anniversary would be spent fighting and someone would end up unhappy.
After that major purchase, we decided to have a nice lunch and then go to see Star Trek. I have to say, I really enjoyed it. I thought the new actors captured the mannerisms of the characters quite well, and it was a kick to hear all the catch phrases on the big screen.
We also picked up the keys to our new place. Though we haven’t really started packing yet, we are getting really excited about moving in! The thing I am less excited about is the prospect of taking my desk apart. It is a mammoth. And one of those mdf-laminate deals, so you know it’s not modular. Ugh, this is going to be rough.
Oh well. It’ll be fun to settle in to a new place. We’re trying to flesh out a bit of a guest room. You know, summer is the best time to visit Chicago! Beautiful weather, lots to do. Come on over. We’d love to see you!
