Last night Brian and I decided to go to Meijer to get some groceries. We have very little food due to trying to eat it all before we moved. Instead of wasting expensive gas to go next door, we walked in the almost 90 degree heat. It took us about 10-15 minutes to walk. The air conditioning inside was wonderful!
We did our shopping, although we didn't get everything we needed since we had to carry it home. Since we had already helped save the environment by walking, we decided to go the extra mile and bought some of the reusable bright blue bags that Meijer just came out with. We then walked home with our groceries in bright blue bags.
It is nice to know that I won't be collecting way more Meijer plastic bags than I need now. I just have to remember the bright blue bags when I go now. It also was too hot of a day to do that much walking especially when it involved carrying groceries home. We'll think about it a little harder next time. :)

Libraries
In case anyone doubts the usefulness of a library, I'm here to prove you wrong. Perhaps I am a little biased because of my future profession resting on the usefulness of libraries, but I don't care.
Monday began the Internet saga. I discovered I had no Internet in our new apartment because AT&T didn't actually do anything when Brian called last week to set it up. This sent me on an afternoon trip to Panera Bread, being the only place I knew that had free wireless. After googling for libraries in the area, I discovered the Canton Public Library but had run out of time to see if they had wireless Internet to use on Tuesday.
Tuesday I discovered that our Internet was working in our apartment! Yay! I spent all day Tuesday in our apartment except for a walk to Meijer and a trip for donuts at Tim Horton's across the street.
Wednesday morning I woke up to my Internet working once again. I checked a few things and then had breakfast and took a shower. When I returned to my computer to work on two large assignments that are due this evening for my online class, I discovered that something had gone wrong with our Internet service and all the customer service woman could tell me was that it wasn't supposed to be hooked up until next Monday.
Because of these pressing assignments that are due later today, I now find myself in the Canton Public Library (which is absolutely gorgeous!) using their free wireless Internet. If you thought a library wasn't useful, here's proof that they are!

Moved
We have moved! Everything went smoothly the day of the move, but we were all tired by the end. Two Men & A Truck moved all our stuff, but we still had to unpack it all. We have about 5 boxes left and a lot of organizing to do yet.
Our apartment is wonderful. It is bigger than our last one and much more open and bright. We have a giant slider with a big window above it that brings in a lot of light. I will be working on organizing our stuff this week while I'm at home.
Brian started his job last Friday and is back every day this week. It will take some time to get used to him being gone all day every day. We haven't done that in a while. I'm home every day all day because I don't have a job and am just taking a class online at the moment.
Our Internet didn't get set up, so I have to wait another week for it to be in our apartment. Right now I'm posting from Panera Bread. It's a nice place, but still a little drive just to use the Internet.
I sent out an e-mail with our address/phone number/e-mail/website in it. Let me know if you didn't receive it and would like that information.
I will post some pictures of our apartment once I have Internet in the apartment. I also haven't taken any pictures yet and want to get the last few boxes unpacked before I do. Look for them in about a week.

Moving
Tomorrow morning begins the moving process. Two Men & A Truck will be here by 9:00 to get everything done tomorrow. I'm going to send an e-mail out with our new address. If you don't get it and would like it, let me know and I will send it to you. I'll update more once we're a little bit settled.
