Summer heat.

lemon treat! today I (becca) decided to make a special surprise dessert for zach. He was thinking about it all day. His coworkers all thought this was a euphemism. That would make Zach a total creeper. After collecting necessary ingredients, and making some substitutions...who knew the tiny giant on Main street did not carry lemon curd...the tart was complete! here is a picture:

Recently it has been overwhelmingly hot and humid here. We're talking 95 degrees and super humid. Our new apartment does not handle heat well as it is an attic type. Thus, we've been escaping to air conditioned places. We also cracked and bought an air conditioner for our room. It is so very pleasant at night in there. Our friend Aaron told me it is much cheaper to cool a house than to heat it. voila!

misses and kisses,

Zach and Becca

summer

so we have moved into our new place. Its a fairly oddball and adorable attic apartment on the other side of town. All the rooms have slanted ceilings, and some form of charm. It was also full of other people's stuff when i got here to start moving. I ended up having to pack up dishes and kitchen drawers and everything you can think of in order to put our stuff in. it was sad and frustrating. It came to a head when i wanted to put some of our kitchen appliance stuff under the window bench in the kitchen, and it was chock full o' crap. I do believe I stormed out of the room and called my mother. Yay for drama! After about a week of being here, we are mostly unpacked and really enjoying it here! We can walk just about everwhere we want to go, even the grocery store. and there's a south facing balcony where i can grown assorted plants. Right now I have a tiny basil, a larger basil, yellow pear cherry tomatoes, rutgers tomatoes, an ivy, and sunflowers. I also want to work on an herb garden in a window box too. we'll see!!

its been in the 90s the past few days here, and wickedly humid. Its fairly unbearable to me, and even made me sickies saturday night. erego, zach came home with an air conditioner yesterday. so much better!

I'm going to go to the library and get a bunch of books to read. cheers!
