Clearly blogging was not a priority this week. Instead we focused energy on the last of our wedding details and the last of our impending house details. Friday was our walk-through at the house, which went really well and got us super excited. That evening, with my first full-time paychecks in 36 months resting in the Macungie Financial Center, we went to the yuppie mall (according to wiki) aka The Promenade at Saucon Valley for Thai food and a movie. That was the plan, anyway, but we wound up having Red Robin and a movie - Superbad. It was juvenile, crass, and hilarious, which was just what we needed to destress heading into a weekend of waiting.
Saturday we did a lot of errands, found a great ski shop sale and a refridgerator. The evening found us back at SRC for a community picnic... we ate some pulled pork and made friends with some neighbors. We've got our first gathering set up already - a Labor Day cookout at our place. Sweet.
Sunday we had a bit of malaise over our waiting for the house and so we got into the car for a trip to the Poconos. I wish we had a greater purpose for going, but really we went because Jenelle and I both needed a few additional pairs of work pants and there is better shopping there. This hurts me deeply, but there will be other weekends for trips to the Poconos for outdoor activities and cultural activities and color tours and canoe trips. For now we just needed work clothes and to get out of the hotel room.
