Day SIX- cleaning and pedicures!

Today was a the day i have been dreading. We decided that this morning we would wake up and get a move on and clean the apartment. So we got up this morning and starting the packing process. i HATE and i mean really really hate packing. almost as much as i hate unpacking. I am truly amazed at how much stuff we can accumulate in a year. I think i threw away half my belongings. i will probably need some of those things but i get in a throw everything away mode and cant stop myself. I think i have anxieties about becoming a hoarder because of those TV shows and so in effort to keep myself from keeping junk i throw away everything. Anyway, we spent the morning and early afternoon cleaning the apartment, packing boxes, dusting, cleaning toilets, scrubbing, and taking down pictures. Our walls are completely bare. sigh. There is nothing more permanent than bare walls. The girls did a great job however, and we work so well as a team. Everyone tackled a different part of the house and we got a ton done. Our apartment currently smells new, which is kinda a gross smell to me. i prefer a homey smell.

After we got most things packed up and cleaned we got ourselves cleaned just in time to use the gift certificates Sarah got us sophomore year. Gift certificates for what you ask? PEDICURES of course! Sarah called Tony and Diane (the nail place) to make sure they could take all 5 of us and also to check if our gift certificates were still good. Diane yelled on the phone: WOAH! DE OLD! WE STILL HONOR, YOU COME IN. ALL 5- OKAY OKAY. 2 PM. BYE. (thank you Diane) So at 2 pm we all drove over to the place and treated ourselves to Sarah's sophomore treat. You may be wondering why we have waited so long to use these, which would seem like a good question. We decided this is the perfect time to treat ourselves to some TLC (and also maybe we just kept forgetting to use it).
There is something very very exciting about getting your toes painted. Typical girl things just make me smile, especially when they are done with friends. We got some great pics and cant wait to show our great colorful toes off this weekend. The time is coming up so close. Lindsay and i talked about our cap and gowns hanging in our bare closets. such a weird feeling..it's a gettin closer!
Oh and also, Daniel and i have been dating 66 months as i type..which means as of the 14th we have only 6 months left until we get married..which also means we have been engaged for 6 months..that is a lot of sixes! and another reminder that time is flying by!
almost there..
