Fire It Up!

You know those weekends that just fly by and you wish you had an extra day? That was this weekend.

Friday.

Andrew and I celebrated his birthday at an amazing All-You-Can-Eat Brazilian Steakhouse. It was so good!

Way too much meat. Cool It Down!

We were given a card (the Fire It Up! one) with a list of all the different types of meat that would be coming around to our table. When we needed a break, we would flip the card over to Cool It Down! (My apologies to any vegetarians I'm disgusting right now.)  The Steakhouse also had the most amazing salad bar I'd ever seen and we definitely filled our plates with too much salad.

We enjoyed a show of Brazilian dancers and live music. It was wonderful.

By the end of the meal, we were stuffed. But I still had to get Andrew dessert. After all, it was his birthday!

Saturday.

On Saturday, I got the keys to our new apartment! After dinner on Friday, Andrew headed off to a military base for leadership training and was gone for the weekend (poor guy had to spend the weekend in a small tent), so it was up to me to get everything organized.

As small as our kitchen is, I love it. I'm also in love with the new place and can't wait until we get settled in.

We have our current apartment until the end of the month, so it'll be a slow process moving everything in.

That night, I celebrated Theresa's birthday with her and her friends at a local bar.

Sunday.

Misty approves!

By Sunday, I realised how much I needed a car. There were a lot of things I wanted to bring over to the new place (which is a block away from my current place) which were just too heavy for me to carry by myself. Since Andrew was gone (with the car too), his brother came to my rescue (and brought Misty!). He took me to Canadian Tire where I bought more baskets, a toaster (bye bye toaster oven) and cupboard liners.

We brought a couple heavy boxes to the new place and I got Misty's seal-of-approval on the apartment.

After having a bite to eat together, we went our separate ways.

I went back to the apartment, where I proudly put in the cupboard and drawer liners. Look how pretty!

I ended the night with dinner at my aunt's. Look at that selection of appetizers, which she made herself! Seriously, my aunt makes the best food.

Andrew joined us in time for dinner and then we called it a night.

We have so much work to do - and actually work work to go to - so I may not blog as much over the next couple of weeks. The fact that I cut off my cable and internet and I'm waiting to get the new internet service set up is another reason. I'll try my best though!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!
