With Christmas over we cleaned up the hallway upstairs and moved the hope chest into my office. About a ear ago we got a vanity from one of Allison’s friends who was moving. It had been sitting in the garage for a while. We did not realize that there was a missing piece of wood that connected the top of the vanity to the bottom. My dad came back home and he cut a strip of wood for us so that we could assemble the vanity. With that piece of wood we were able to put the vanity together and set up up n the hallway. Allison also ordered a new laundry basket that would fit between the vanity and our bedroom. The laundry baskets did not fit well in that space and this looks much nicer.
When I was an RD the first thing I ever bought for myself was a couch. I went to Sears and picked out a green couch with a southwest looking set of pillows. I loved sleeping on that couch and I loved having it, it was so comfortable. Then it got old, it broke and wasn’t as comfortable. I moved it from apartment to apartment all over Saint A’s and then brought it back home with me to my apartment/condo at my parent’s house. Then Allison moved in and we got her couch which was white with flowers. They didn’t match at all and when Allison’s parents moved to Florida we got their old sofa and loveseat. They served us very well for many years but they got very worn out and we were practically sitting on the floor. We discussed getting new furniture once we moved and we finally saved up enough to get a new couch and loveseat. We got them at Bob’s Discount Furniture. The very cool thing about these pieces is that they have pull out drawers underneath. We can now store things like blankets and various other things that we occasionally need in those drawers.
