Packed & unpacked

Cyrus and I drove up to Boston last week, and we took up as many things as we could so we could set up our apartment.

We were surprised at how much space was still left after packing his things and mine.



Setting up the apartment was pretty successful, but we hit a dead end when there were items in the apartment that we didn't know what to do with. But still, we're so glad that we did the hard part (cleaning!) before the wedding!

I'm back home in Maryland now, and Cyrus is up in Boston and we will reunite late next week. Could this be the last long-distance period ever??

Road trip!

This morning, Cyrus and I are headed on our second road trip to Boston to start setting up our apartment!

"When did you take your first road trip up there together?" you ask?

Let's turn back the clock to April 2007, only a few short months after we started dating.

Cyrus drove the entire way without getting sleepy or needing a break!


We stopped by in Philly for some of Jim's cheesesteaks.


I think we got onto the 93 bridge by accident, but got some cool pictures anyway...


And we met up with some friends!


Can you imagine how different that trip will be from this one? :)

Please wish us a safe and productive trip!

Please RSVP by...

...July 15. One week from today.

I didn't realize how soon this was until a couple days ago! And it seems like right NOW is the best time to book tickets. It's a little frustrating that I can't get out information to the masses (like reminders, tips, etc.) like I can on an Evite.

I know I should trust people to make their travel plans and figure out accommodations, car rentals, etc., but it's the control freak in me that wants to make sure everyone is on top of things. I'm always over-planning and overbearing, especially when it comes to travel.

I could use this blog or our wedding website to send out info, but not a lot of our guests seem to know about it...

So I'll just take a deep breath and trust that everything will be okay, as Cyrus always reminds me! :)
