Hurricane Shower

Even though we're "all settled" into the new apartment, I still can't say I feel like I live there. Something about sleeping on an air mattress on the floor just doesn't feel like home.

After a deposition on Friday morning in Baton Rouge, I headed to Dallas with Archi-Sapper two hours behind me. We spent Saturday afternoon buying a bed at Ikea (which they actually had in stock, unlike some of the other items we wanted). Archi-Sapper headed back to Louisiana this morning, and I'll be going back tomorrow.

This afternoon, my mom's friends hosted a lovely hurricane shower for us (much like a wedding shower only we're older now and actually need to purchase more stuff than we did when we got married). We received some very nice bed linens (400 thread count Egyptian cotton), some kitchen stuff and lots of gift cards to Bed Bath & Beyond and Target. I showed off the pictures of the inside of our house and we ate a cute cake that showed a wall of water and said that the sun would come out tomorrow. All in all, it was a lot of fun and I was overwhelmed by everyone's generosity and kindness.

What a neat idea! I'm glad that you're on the road to getting re-settled. I've been temporarily living in Houston still (we borrowing facilities here until end of December) and I really just want to go home!

I thought it was a great idea! I sort of want to go home, but I think I'd be more interested in that if I had a home to go to. When do you plan to return?
