Well, for all of you who prayed and were giddy with excitement about that epic kitchen and potential apartment...sorry to disappoint you. We didn't get it. Sad face.
Dan and I dressed nicely, had all our paperwork organized in a folder, and arrived early to see that place. It was smaller than it looked in the pictures but the kitchen was every bit as wonderful. We were prepared to write a check right there and then but she said she had other people to show it to and would let us know. Later that afternoon, Dan got a text that she had rented the place to someone else. This was annoying because we were first to see it and first to be ready to close. Generally it's first come first served in apartment dealings. So, I guess it wasn't meant to be and we are bummed about that but have faith that there is something else out there that is even more perfect for us. I just need the patience to get through the search and stop changing our registry based on every apartment I think we'll get.
Otherwise, the weekend overall was wonderful. We dropped the invitations in the mail! We lucked out with the postage weighing in at exactly 1 oz so no need for an extra stamp!
The summer weather is finally sticking around (minus several days of monsoon rain)! Saturday, Dan and I went to a wedding in Queens with a lot of other friends from church. The ceremony was at the Queen Botanical Garden and the reception was a traditional 10-course Chinese banquet. The food was definitely not my favorite (think shark fin soup, jelly fish, and whole squid) but the dancing was fun and getting to hang out with friends outside of a church function was nice.
Sunday was church and then I saw Aladdin on Broadway with a friend. It was a great show with amazing costumes and set design. Dan, unfortunately, had to work at the law office in the afternoon. Definitely one of the busiest weekends and not very relaxing but we're inching closer to the our date and when we can get our lives kick started together so that's exciting.
