Michelle sipping water, Eric through the glass, Danielle on the go, a partridge in a pear tree, and it's moving time!

Some of you may remember earlier pics of 10 Faxon Ave from Easter lunch--but sadly, Apt. 314 no longer bears much resemblance to that. Tomorrow Eric and I will start a lease in Watertown, in an apartment close to Eric's work. It's an exciting move--we'll have a second bedroom for guests, hopefully with the same style bed by my cousin Lydia has in her guest bedroom that I've been coveting for about 8 years--but it's also pretty nostalgic. Seems like just yesterday that Matt and Meri came on moving day and helped me unpack and assemble furniture, or that Dawn helped me exchange my full size bed frame for a queen one at Ikea with the help of her Jeep (that was an adventure) because my uncle told me that a full size bed was bad luck for meeting a husband.

There have been murder mystery dinners, and birthday dinners, and birthday murder mystery dinners, and shrimp in a giant pumpkin, and card games with Michelle--who always wins--and my parents' anniversary brunch with amazing cake, and nights watching Big Love and Doctor Who with Eric. It's been a quiet space to study Arabic and Hebrew, and a playful environment for house guests. I, at least, will miss it.

But memories aside, it is time move to a new part of Boston where Eric and I can start our new lives together! In the meantime, though, here are some pics to mark the event:

Boxed up apartment!



Michelle and I having one last friend bonding session--or rather, she's talking, and I'm a moving blur, probably frenetically reaching out to tape a box shut!
