We are currently waiting for our Sunday dinner to cook.
A real meal. With vegetables. Being cooked in pots and pans, in our own apartment.
After a month of weddings and finals and two moves, I can't tell you how long it feels like it's been since this has happened.
Moving via airplane was convenient for a few reasons--but none of them culinary. We packed 3 plates, 3 bowls, silverware, and a few kitchen tools, and then arrived. We've made do this past week with street food, our cafeteria, going out to dinner, and sandwiches and cereal. We've still spent an embarrassingly large amount of money on food.
So as soon as Saturday came we made the trip out to Ikea. It was pretty comical trying to buy and pack home a kitchen on a series of buses and trains. We also got lost more times than we might admit. But we made it through and we're pretty sure that $25 set of three pots and a pan are going to change our lives (and save our budget). We are also exceptionally grateful for Ikea's children's toy section that helped us birthday shop. I was panicking about finding reasonably-priced children's toys before my firstborn's first.
It is nice to have a weekend.
It is nice to have my husband back. This semester just about ate him alive.
It is nice that we had a good morning at church and a collective two hour nap.
And it is nice to smell dinner cooking in my own kitchen.
