We had a very full and adventurous weekend.
My older sister came to town on Friday night. On Saturday she had a full day of interviews with two counties in the area for potential teaching positions. I played chauffer and drove her around while getting other errands done along the way. After coming back to the apartment to freshen up and pick up P, we headed out to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. The first bar we attempted to go to was packed. Like couldn't breath, let alone get a drink packed. Plus we had heard of a guy puking in the bar's alley on our walk in and decided it just wasn't our scene. So we headed over to the Irish Channel in Chinatown and celebrated P's Irish heritage with drinks and green jello shots! After a couple of rounds of drinks we met up with our buddy John for dinner before calling it a night.

The weekend's big adventure began on Sunday morning. We woke up to soaked carpet in our bedroom, closet, and hallway leading into the living room. Early Sunday morning, like around 2am, a pipe burst in our neightbor's apartment. Their unit was completely flooded with about an inch of water. We are fortunate that we only share part of a wall with them (a stairwell blocks the rest) but there was enough water to soak the floors in the affected area. Starting around 8am we had the apartment maintenance men, plumbers, and carpet specialist in and out of our apartment. By 10am carpet and padding was ripped out of our bedroom and closet and heavy duty fan were blowing. After talking with other units who had been impacted (seven of us total) we were all able to piece together that our units would be uninhabitable for 3-4 days, the apartment building was not planning to pay for our hotels, and our closets would need to be completely empty so the cabinets could be removed. Throughout the whole ordeal we have not heard from anyone from the apartment's management company. All of us have emailed management but have gotten no response in the past 24 hours. Despite the huge inconvenience, we are lucky that none of our property was damageed and none of the items we have been gathering for the wedding have been damaged.

Despite our new living circumstance, P and I are prepared to tackle many things on our wedding to-do list this week! We are less than four weeks and counting!
