Blast From The Past: Part 3: a house log

We have returned from our Christmas in West Virginia simply in time to grace you with the third and final part of our “Places We Used to Live” video series. This time it is a new city (Richmond, VA) and a new arrangement (cohabitation). Ooh la la.

Our First Apartment Together in Richmond was a fairly cookie-cutter one-bedroom in a fairly cookie-cutter suburban apartment complex. That did not stop us from being over the moon about at last sharing a home together AND getting way more space for less than half of our combined rent in NYC.

Here are the goodies to watch for this time:

• The giddiness in Sherry’s voice as she excitedly points out certain “features”
• Our rag-tag collection of free / donated furniture (give us a break – we moved from NYC in a minivan)
• The high ceilings (the reason we opted for the 3rd floor)
• A much more fully stocked kitchen than in Sherry’s NYC apartment
• More album cover artwork thanks to the band OK Go
• Our Hands-on version of bird wall decals from blik (we cut birds out of blue manila folders and taped them to the wall).

Ok, we now promise to return our attention to the present day. Some lively posts to look forward to: gifts we gave each other, stuff we received from others, and items we scored during all those strong post-holiday sales.
