Gerry and I traveled to Yo and Matt's house for several days to help them unpack. They had gotten their things moved, gone back to long hours of work, and had no opportunity to try to figure out what goes where, or to make order out of chaos. I think we did a really good job at that. It may not be the exact order they had in mind for every item, but we got things out of boxes, broke down the boxes, sorted out recyclable materials, cleaned the garage, and put things away. We even managed to strategically place some decorative items so that whey they got home on Friday night, they could walk into a "home" rather than a very stressful situation.
Between combining their two apartments, and adding to that a whole array of lovely wedding gifts, they are light years ahead of most young couples. In less than a month after their wedding, and before they leave on their honeymoon next weekend, they are now settled into a beautiful and spacious home with all the tools and necessities. Many of us, probably most of us, did not "arrive" at where they are until we were in our thirties, or later,( or never) !
Matt invited his parents over for dinner on Friday night, and we all six had a lovely meal together, and a great celebration of their first home cooked meal in their house.
Everyone went to bed exhausted after a long day. (Yo and Matt, also disappointed that the Yankees lost their game!)
