IRENE

Yikes! We're in Martha's Vineyard for a week of relaxing and could see the edge of Irene coming from the south while we were on the ferry from Boston yesterday. It started raining pretty hard and today it's not raining yet but it's very windy and the power is clicking on and off.

Shouldn't get too exciting though because Irene has already been downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm and is moving far enough west to where we'll just get the edge. There's a photo on my Facebook page if you want to check it out!

After today we should be able to head to the beach Monday so we've stocked up on "provisions" for the storm (not to be confused with Chardonnay, which you're allowed to call a provision when you're in Martha's Vineyard during a hurricane). If we get any really cool weather, I'll post a picture!

Latest and Greatest

Wow, has it really been two months since my last post? That's terrible! But I wanted to give a few updates on the loft, the move and the move out.

We are getting SO excited to move to the loft. We've taken over multiple loads of odds and ends from Bryce's house and the apartment so we feel like we're in good shape when the movers come this Sunday. Should be relatively painless! The new dining table, wine rack and couch are already situated so it's feeling homier by the day.

And as much fun as it's been to live in a downtown highrise, we're ready to move a little closer to the ground as well. The new place seems much more like home and a little less like a swanky hotel. Bryce's two cats have already been enjoying the loft. It's going to be quite an adjustment to live with two cats that shed everywhere! Bryce plans to use the furminator on them everyday but right now there are chuncks of hair floating all over the loft. Henry doesn't really shed so this is a major change for me. Not to mention the litter box. Ick.

But it'll all work out. Henry is sooo nice to the cats and really wants them to come play with him. He'll lay on the floor and put his head down or roll over so show that he really is nice. :-)

Keep an eye out for pictures next week!

Tonight we're headed to the 311 concert, which was a blast last year. Can't wait to go again!

Have a great Tuesday.
Love,
Em
