Connor is officially living here now. He got an apartment just a few miles from our house and is all moved in and mostly organized. I'm so excited that he's living so close by, and extra excited for how awesome his new apartment is. It's right next to one of the better sports bars in the area, across the street from Wegman's (god's gift to grocery stores) and really close to the movie theater and mall.
Connor and Dad drove his furniture across the country together and got here on Thursday morning. They dropped some furniture off at our house - Dad gave me his leather, wingback chairs - then went to Connor's apartment. We went over when we got off work to see the place and grab some dinner. We spent the night playing pinochle instead of doing anything helpful like unpacking or organizing. But Connor will have plenty of time to do that over the next few weeks.
On Friday Dad and Connor continued to unpack and shop and get everything set up. Dad's girlfriend, Max, flew in the evening. We'd planned to all get dinner together, but her flight was delayed. Instead it was just the four of us at the Mussel Bar by my office.
The rest of the weekend was spent cooking, eating, and visiting. Dad and Max were busy helping Connor, which meant that I had time to shop and read and do laundry around all the visiting, which was nice. The whole trip was short and sweet and filled with lots of good food. We have so many leftovers in our fridge right now. It's great to have my brother living so close. I'm excited to be able to see him as often as I want to.
