At the end of August Mike and I weren't really doing anything and Peach had woke me up by peeing on the bed. Ugh, not a good morning, so I started washing the sheets and thankfully we have a mattress pad so it didn't ruin our mattress. Unfortunately for us, the apartment 2 floors above us had their hot water heater burst and flooded all 8 units around and below them and ruined our mattress among other things since we're on the 1st floor.
Our apartment ended everyone's lease, and pretty much told us to find a new place to stay because they didn't have any open units for us to go to. Not fun. We stayed in a hotel that week and Alycia watched Peach for us. We found a new apartment called the Watermark (it's BEAUTIFUL!!) and we moved in 5 days later on Friday.

So exhausting and we were so excited to have a pull out couch to sleep on since our mattress has been ruined from the water damage. Saturday was spent putting things away with Alycia and mattress shopping/buying and Peach finally graduating from her first class of puppy school!
That Monday after we moved in was Labor Day so Mike and I loaded up all of the dirty laundry (including blankets, towels, clothes, pillows) and went to a laundromat because our washer broke due to water damage. Finished all of the laundry and kept organizing back at our new place. Not having school that day was truly a blessing. I have never been more happy to have insurance in my life, we got a new mattress and a new washer and some money for other minor damages to our apartment.
My mom, grandma, and aunt came and visited that next weekend and I was so happy to see them!! They visited us for a week and sight-saw and helped us decorate our new apartment. I had so much fun hanging out with them all week and trying new restaurants with them. The Friday before they left we drove to Nashville and we all went to the Grand Ole Opry that night. It was a blast!! I definitely need to go and do that again!! They drove back home from Nashville that day and Mike and I went to the Jack Daniel's Distillery before going back to Atlanta.
The next day was Michael's 30th birthday so I got up early and made a big breakfast for him and baked him a cake. We went out for dinner at Fado for his birthday with Johanna and our new friend Zed (we met him through our apartments flooding, he lived above us).
Then I spent the next 2 weeks studying and preparing for finals. Which were both amazing and awful. Unfortunately, I didn't do the best in 3 of my classes so I will be taking them over again. Not cool, but I have spent my last week off making notes and preparing for the first upcoming exams in those classes so that I can be ready for them and ace them so I won't have to take them ever again after this!!
Classes start tomorrow and I'm back to 7am classes, NOT fun. I'm optimistic about this upcoming quarter and as much as I want my break to keep continuing, I'm ready to get started again. I will post new pictures sometime this week of what's been going on lately, but I'm going to go get ready for bed now since I have class at 7!!
