We are still moving...

I've been trying to come up with a brilliant idea for a post (and a post title) but... unfortunately, I don't have one. So I'm, quite simply, going to explain to you what has been transpiring over the past week. We've been moving. Holy cow. We have literally been shuffling our belongings from one apartment to the next, discovering that we need approximately 1 million things, making endless trips to the Nex, and unpacking. Needless to say... we are tired. Exhausted even.
Now, here's where I give Kevin a big shout out. Let me paint a little picture for you... I sit at work and constantly run through my mind all of things we need to buy, fix, set up, etc. When ALL OF A SUDDEN my phone will start vibrating with a BBM that contains a picture of the new shower head, the new washer/dryer, the light actually ON in my closet, the table completely assembled in the dining room, cable!, etc. All I have to say is I'm a lucky girl.
There is now a light at the end of the tunnel. We spent our first night there and it went really well. Here are a few pictures to track the progress. Please keep in mind these pictures are not very good and the place is a mess... so I'm not entirely sure why I'm sharing - but what the heck. Here ya go!

Halloween

I have a love/hate relationship with Halloween... hate the adult costumes. LOVE the treats.
I have finally branched out from a strict wedding blog regimen and I'm now enjoying the food blog scene... perhaps this was due to moving in with my man and trying to become a semi-domestic goddess.
Whatever.
Anyway, here are some really great Halloween recipes I found that I would like to attempt:

Try these Butterfinger Owl Pops - made with candy corn! (Candy corn grosses me out normally - but this actually looks phenomenal)

As a pumpkin fanatic... I started drooling when I saw how delicious these pumpkin frosted cookies looked. They aren't decorated for Halloween but they are pumpkin, which equals Fall... which brings us right back around to Halloween. So there ya go! I would have advised on the more Halloween themed treat featured on this blog, Skeleton Cupcakes, but it is intense and intimidating - so I picked the cookies.

I typically find candy apples a difficult thing to eat... but I would be willing to give these ones a try.

Check out these cookie lollies in the shape of ghosts and cats! This was actually found on the blog, Pink Little Cake which is featuring the 28 Days of Sweet Halloween ideas which you should check out if you want some more recipes (warning: some of them are for advanced bakers... which I am clearly not since I went for the cookie on a stick idea)

Now these are something I would actually make (code for they look really easy).

BUT what Halloween would be complete without a little Ghosts "Goodles" in the Graveyard (also referenced here)... this is a Halloween tradition in my house which I'm hoping my mom will make for us while she's here this weekend!

I am going to attempt one too... Wish me luck!

New Apartment

We got an apartment! It's spacious and beautiful... and only one block from the beach! ooo I'm in love with it. I think it's the perfect apartment for me and Kevin to call "Our First Place" and I can't wait to share some pictures with you once we move in.
We're obviously just starting out togther in a new city so we have next to nothing. This has prompted us to make a list of what we will need immediately versus things that we can wait on and buy over time.
In the beginning of our talk we decided we absolutely needed everything... but after a few swipes of the credit card we decided that most things can wait.
Looking for couches this weekend was a challenge and quite comical. Trying to find a couch that was big enough for a 6'4 manly man was the challenge... watching Kevin lay down and decide whether or not it would be possible for him to spend the night on the couch if need be was comical.

Side note: I'm about to plug my new favorite place - which you all have probably already heard of. I just discovered World Market. I know I'm really late to the World Market game - but we live really close to one right now and I go in there several times a week. I had never been to one before and - well -they are awesome! I would highly recommend checking one out for fun/cheap/unique items for your home.
