"Stuff"

I went to title this blog "Big Time Stuff" but as it turns out, I have already titled at least one other blog with the same name. Hmmm... I need to be more creative.

We got a call from the furniture story today and our new couch is finally ready! We ordered it 7 weeks ago and I'm so excited to FINALLY get it into our home! Last night we bought a "new" coffee table and two matching end tables from a lady on craigslist. They're cherry wood, and our new couch is red, so I think the two will compliment each other nicely. The tables were at one point incredibly nice, and although they look a little worse for the wear, they look great in our apartment and it's nice to have matching furniture!

Also, Jon finally caved and bought "us" (himself) a new monitor for his computer. I think it's 27 inches... so... it's huge. I made him promise that his other 3 monitors would be gone by the time the new one is delivered. Even though his new monitor is giant, I'd much rather have one big monitor than the three smaller ones he's had for the past few years. I know he's excited about it and he really doesn't get to buy many "fun" toys.

I know it's all just stuff, but it's nice to have stuff that is really ours! We worked hard and earned the money and picked out what we wanted and purchased it ourselves. We didn't have to save up allowance or wait until Christmas. It's all part of the big scary adult world, but buying new stuff is one of the fun parts :)
