Party Preparations
Most nights this week we've been working to get ready for our family party this Sunday. I would so much rather do a little bit each night than be completely overwhelmed and have to whip things into shape in a day or two. Last night, I compiled all the recipes and make my grocery list while Jack volunteered to clean both of our showers. Normally, I clean the bathrooms as my mom used to tell me that I could make a bathroom sparkle, and Jack handles some chores that I can't stand (like dusting), but who am I to turn down an offer for him to clean the showers?! He did a great job and really saved me some time and work. In the words of my mom, "I am pleased but not suprised" that he could do it. ;)
I was a little nervous about the noise we might cause our neighbors, since we have discovered that the insullation between the units is not great. On top of that, our neighbors downstairs have their condo for sale and we didn't want to cause them any problems in case they have any showings. Jack emailed them last night to let them know, so hopefully they'll be understanding about it and it won't bother them too much.
Next up in the preparations are the grocery shopping, condo cleaning and some cooking tomorrow. Today is our 6 month anniversary, and although we talked about going to dinner, I think we might spend it at CostCo and Dominick's. Nothing says romance like picking out meat and produce!
In and amongst our preparations, we are going out tomorrow night to celebrate our friend Jen's birthday. We are heading for a show at Improv Olympics and then out for drinks. Happy Birthday Jen!
And Happy 6 month Anniversary, Jack! I feel so lucky to be your wife.
