We made sure to enjoy some of our favorites over the weekend, starting with dinner Friday night at OMBI, a cozy little French-fusion restaurant on Elliston. A bottle of red, some amazing potato gnocci and a quiet table gave us the chance to catch our breaths after a crazy couple of months, and t0 recharge for the week ahead!Saturday brought on more packing. It never ends. We have almost filled a storage unit with boxes, and it turns out we'll fill one more before this is all over. It's horrifying to discover how much two people can accumulate in a matter of just a few years. Never again!!
I should mention that we decided to take NOTHING with us to Calgary. We'll pack up our car with clothes and necessities, and hit the road with plans of buying all new furniture once we're up there (thanks for the moving stipend, KPMG!). I'm looking forward to having a blank slate and decorating a new place from scratch. Having in Ikea store in Calgary doesn't hurt, either. We'll feel like pioneers cruising north with hardly any material items - who needs lots of stuff bogging you down, anyway?
After Saturday's packing frenzy and a "NotDog" for lunch at my very favorite weenie vendor, I Dream of Weenie in East Nash, we had a fun night of dinner and bowling with Jenny, Ally and Conor. How I'll miss all those guys!We are cramming in all the social time we can before heading off. Liz and I spent yesterday hanging out and shopping (the huge Forever 21 store in Murfreesboro pretty much rocked my world), and I'm looking forward to all the plans for lunches and nights out this week!
In between, we'll be doing mundane things like getting our driving records, changing our address, figuring out how to do absentee ballots (very important!), etc., etc. Phew, what a busy few days we have :)
