Sarah and Brandon had just gotten their dog, Monkey! They were both preoccupied so Meredith and I got to spend a lot of time babysitting her! Look at her chubby little pink puppy-belly!
While unpacking we also discovered that we both had matching, tan, corduroy jackets! (Mine used to belong to my grandfather - I don't know what Meredith's excuse is. Hahah).
Siege, Ellen, Sarah (and KT - not pictured because she showed up later in the afternoon) = BEST. FRIENDS. EVER! Keep in mind, this wasn't about helping one person move...this was about taking taking our U-Haul to BOTH of apartments, and then unloading all of our stuff into our new place. Oooof!
Schweaty! Ellen and Meredith are showing off rolls of that packing saran wrap that I used tons of (because you can use it to just bind everything together instead of having to pack everything in boxes. It's awesome).
Meredith and I finally decided to take the plunge and move in together! We expected a long and tumultuous apartment hunt, but we hit the jackpot on the very first place we looked at! On Saturday afternoon we were given the keys and headed over to scope the place out and prepare for our move a few days later! Here's Meredith kicking back in our brand new "holy shit we're living together" bathtub!
Remember crazy Brandon that invited Grant, Jake and I to come and party in Budapest when we were on vacation in Europe? Well, he emailed me to tell mehis friend Kinga was coming to New York for the first time and I promised to take her out. So Meredith and Kinga came out to dance too!
...and we teamed up for this incredibly hot photo. (I don't know if you know this, but I'm going to let you in on a huge secret: WE ARE HUGE FUCKING DORKS.)
The post-procedural patient. Hahaha. Meredith had read that if the whack was successful and the cyst had been ruptured, it would take a few days to for it to go away. Nothing to do but wait! (Spoiler: the cyst didn't go away).
And Siege snapped a few funny pics of Mer and I goofing around on the beach with his fancy cam. (Thanks for sending these over, Siege!). Here's our impression of that old Coppertone advertisement where a little dog is tugging at a girl's bathing suit.
...pictures like this. Hahahaha. OMG, man Ellen Stagg really is a broseph trapped in the body of a buxom blonde. I love how she's even using two fingers to pretend she's "spreading the pink." Girl's hardcore RAW.
Meredith and my mom showing off their flyswatters. Coastal NJ in the summer is plagued with greenhead flies. They bite during the day and it hurts like HELL.
The next morning, we got up bright and early and drove down to my parent's little shore house in Beach Haven West. After dropping off our bags, we grabbed some towels and headed to the beach on Long Beach Island.
Later that afternoon, we all piled into the Jentzen family minivan and got a lift all the way around the lake back to our car. Here's Meredith, Erika, Liam (in the back with his kindergarten graduation hat on!) and Abby.
Here's Meredith the next morning totally not believing me telling her that by going to bed early she missed the opportunity to travel to a bar by boat. Hahaha.
...while Meredith and Grant relaxed. (In their defense, neither of them were familiar with any songs and the sound quality wasn't exactly stellar where we were sitting).
About an hour after we'd used our little doohickey to reserve a time, it was time to head back to Nitro and ride that shit. Here's the ride reflected in Meredith's palm-tree shades.
I woke up bright and early on Thursday morning. Before waking Meredith up, I decided to take a few pics of how she sleeps: facedown, completely covered in blankets except for one leg (just one!) that she holds up in the air!
...an indoor pool-party at the Hotel QT! (It's this really cute hotel that has a smallish indoor pool that's IN THE LOBBY and it even has a swim-up bar!). Here's Meredith making sexy-face in the water!
...and then hopped in our rental and headed back to NYC! Here's a picture of Grant, Posh T and Meredith at a rest stop somewhere in the swamps of New Jersey! Congrats Emma & Rob! Thanks so much for having us!
Emma and Rob's wedding ceremony was on the beach, so after we'd finished getting all dressed up, we headed a few hundred feet down to boardwalk and awaited the arrival of the bride and groom.
Mr. Silverman is so down! Hahahaha. Congratulations Andrew and Anna! (Sorry I didn't take one single picture of the two of you together! I'm an idiot!)
