Our Last Day At 1806

Hey guys!

Yesterday, I moved all of my stuff out of 1806. It was a long, frustrating day, but I had Eric helping me (or should I say doing most of the work...). LC was also moving out with her parents. I really wasn't going to be moving out until the 1st (John had told me I could leave my stuff there until the 1st), but at 3pm John called me and told me that he needed me out before then, because he wanted to let the other girls move in early. So I had to quickly change my plans. It resulting in some frustration and Eric and I were exhausted by the time we took everything to his house and then drove back to Cincinnati. I went upstairs to your rooms. Erin and LP, your rooms still smell like you. I almost cried. 

P.S. I tried canceling the alarm system today. Despite all my name change requests, they never took the bill out of Meredith's name. They said they couldn't do it because  it would breech her security. Apparently she was supposed to submit a paper in writing transferring the service to my name, and I have no rights to the account. It's funny what you find out when you try to cancel an account. They had no problem billing me though... So... I have to get ahold of Meredith ASAP to have to her submit a formal paper to the company. I called her and left her a voicemail and texted her. If any of you talk to her, please tell her to call me. I want to cancel this bill so I don't get charged again. Also, it would make for a tough situation with the girls moving in, as they would have to learn how to use the system (perfectly, so they don't get billed by the city...) They also said that John had no rights to the account. Interesting. John is also trying to call the company and get ahold of Meredith.

Back to fun stuff! I just got back from Florida with Eric. We went to his parent's condo at Perdido Key. It was really relaxing. I have never been to a private beach before, so I didn't know what to expect. It was really calm and it was nice being away for a while. One night we went down to pensacola and stumbled across a dueling piano bar!!!! OH and get this!!! the last song hey played was I'M ON A BOAT!!!!!! I KNOW RIGHT!

I have also been traveling to see Katie's soccer games. She is playing for UC. Also, Gavin is playing 1st grade football for Sycamore (LC's school!)! HE is loving it!!!!! And I am too. He is really good. The best part is, after he tackles people he turns and gives us a thumbs up haha. 

Erin, good idea on the August event. One day after work, I went to the gym. Once I was finished working out, Eric ended up meeting me there and we had a picnic. It cracked me up because he showed up with a real picnic basket and a table cloth and everything. We had sandwiches and chips and fruit and chips ahoy cookies. It was delicious. Plus the sun was setting so it was really pretty. I loved it! I can't wait to hear about your experiences too! P.S. Yesterday, I saw Kevin while I was loading up Eric's car. I was like "Hey I haven't seen you lately." and he said "Yeah, well Erin hasn't been in town." Haha I think you have a Columbus crush still. 

Maria, I saw your video that was on the news. You guys look so cute! And it looks like you are extremely happy, which is bomb! I am so excited for you two. Can you post some pictures of your new apartment? Maybe we could all do that when we have our places : ) 

Amy, how was Cali? It must have been awesome to see John again, especially because you know he will be home so soon! Did everything go smoothly? Especially the part about him being at work and you spending quality time with his parents.  Also, let me know what is up for labor day weekend. 

LP, thanks for the note at 1806! Also, I am so glad that Alex will be close! That has to be such a relief. In case you need it, the number for American Electric Power is 1 800 277 2177. I am so excited to meet you in German Village for lunch or for a walk and to see your new place! I hear that it is beautiful! I will be up there around Sept. 20 for good. Let's meet up ASAP. 

LC, it was soo good to see you! ...And to spend some quality time together at Luckys again. I am so excited that you will be in Columbus! What are the dates that you are going to be in NY again? 

I can't wait to see some of you at Heather and Patricks wedding! 

I love you and miss you all.

Love,

MJ
