Furniture

It is really neat being able to buy some small things for our apartment. Yes, we got an apartment!! It is a nice 2 Bedroom/1 Bathroom apartment with a large kitchen, washer dryer hookups, a dining area, and a large living room. We are definitely excited about the prospects of moving our stuff there this weekend. It goes without saying that we still need a lot of things, in which, we hope our registry will take care of.

Anyways, back to furniture. Rodney and I have just made a few purchases over the last couple of days. First of all, I went yard-saleing with my brother, Thomas, and we found a dresser. Now, I really like it, but it needs to grow on Rodney a little as he likes darker woods. It is half wardrobe and half dresser, so it'll look nice and be very functional.

Next, we decided to go ahead and purchase a headboard. My grandma was going to give us hers, but it is a water bed frame and I am worried that our mattresses may not fit. Because it is a bear to put together and take apart, I don't want my Dad and brothers putting it together and then discovering that it won't fit and them having to take it apart which almost takes just as long to put together. We fell in love with the sleigh-bed look and actually purchased a sleigh bed headboard and foot board from Big Lots. Yeah, Big Lots has some really nice stuff for a good price!

We also bought our entertainment center from Big Lots this past weekend. It is cute and will look nice in our living room.

The last big purchase we have is a set of Queen mattresses. We are actually going to go get those the day we pick up the moving truck, this Friday. We have to sign the lease on Friday and then we plan to actually move the stuff up there on Saturday with a bunch of people's help.

Anyways, it is getting more and more exciting as the wedding day approaches. I am really clean-sweeping the stuff I already have. I am trying to be unmerciful in a lot of it, and have been quite successful. We'll see how much stuff I can be completely unmerciful with!
