Having Furniture is Overrated

With ten days to go before Billy starts school, we are finally getting back on the road tomorrow. Let me clarify that this is not because our furniture arrived. Because it hasn't. The moving company has informed us that they "have no idea" when our furniture will be here. Fantastic!

Coordinating with the second moving company to get the furniture from Indianapolis to Denver has now become even more of a nightmare. We've got to find a place to live, so we're leaving the furniture in Billy's dad's capable hands. Hopefully it won't be too much of a hassle for him. Moving is an adventure! At least everything fit in the car!

Regardless of the hot mess that is our moving experience, we've had a lot of fun enjoying Indy. Billy had some time to play tennis with Mia during the weekend (we got here last Thursday). After Mia wore Billy out, they picked me up so we could go downtown. Mia came up with the idea to climb to the top of the Soldiers & Sailors memorial, which is approximately 300 stairs.

Afterwards, we stumbled upon the most excellent FroYo place on the planet, Pearings. It was so amazing I may never be satisfied by another FroYo experience ever. We continued on to the Arts Garden, which is a big glass overpass (not really the right word, it's very pretty!) over Washington Street that's inside the Circle Center mall. It doesn't have a ton of arts or garden, but it was still really pretty! It obviously hosts some sort of live music, since there was a stage and tons of lights.

We walked around the mall for a while, stopping into the toy store to goof off for a while. Mia and I found these awesome mustaches:

Sunday night we went out for dinner and drinks with Chris and Emily (we missed you, Atman!) which was a blast. We always have a good time with them. They're looking for a house and talking about school districts for future kids, which was so exciting!

By the end of this week, we were starting to freak out a little bit about the furniture. Fortunately, we could push back the pick-up date with the second set of movers, and eventually we had stressed ourselves out enough that we gave up and went wine tasting. Billy planned an awesome date night for us at the Easley Winery, followed by dinner downtown and catching the Indians minor league baseball game! We met up with Billy's dad at the game and we all had a great time!

We decided to go with a bottle of the state grape of Indiana-the Tramainette!

 

We also got to watch Mia's tennis match yesterday, which I'm so glad we were here for! It's been so much fun getting to know her better and spend more time with her. I wanted our furniture to get here already, but I was more happy that we got to spend extra time with Mia and also got to see her play! Unfortunately I'm an idiot and didn't take any pictures. FAIL.

Now, it's time to pack up again and hit the road to Denver! Don't worry, we have an aero-bed!
