Shopping Spree

Yesterday Luke and I went on a crazy shopping spree. First we went out to lunch at Sonic...I seem to be on a chili cheese hotdog kick...as long as I can eat that stuff and it doesn't give me heartburn I am going to enjoy it. Then we went to Levitz because they have been having great deals on furniture and it ended yesterday so we wanted to take advantage of it. We bought a nice leather sectional for the great room with a matching ottoman and an end table and then decided to get a 3 piece kitchen table as well. Got a really great deal on everything and was very pleased with such a big purchase. Then we went to Best Buy because Luke wanted to get a new flat screen TV for the great room as well. Once again Best Buy was also having a great financing deal so we took advantage of it and he got his 55 inch super flat screen which gets delivered on Saturday. I'm actually really excited about getting that too. The house is slowly coming together, I work on it a little bit at a time each day. I'm sure by next week I will have most of it situated and cleaned. But we are really loving it more and more each day and I think looking forward to spending a long time in this house. Now the next focus is getting furniture for the baby's room. Registering for the shower alone I think will be a daunting task. I was telling my mom the other day I have no idea what I really need, or what is essential to have right away.
Hopefully we get everything we need and I guess we should start buying diapers now to stock up, no harm in doing that. OH I almost forgot we also went to Home Depot yesterday because we had to buy a big mirror for the master bathroom and then Luke got carried away and started buying tree trimmers and hedge trimmers and a small saw. The yard needs some work done to it. I was just glad that we was excited to buy that type of stuff. Getting the giant mirror home was very interesting and funny. It wouldn't fit in the back seat of Luke's car so we put it in the trunk I sat in the back seat with the middle seat pulled down so that I could hold on to the mirror while Luke drove with the trunk wide open. I was a bit nervous the trunk would come slamming down on the mirror, luckily we didn't have far to drive. It was funny though, I made him put his hazzards on and I kept yelling everytime the trunk came close to touching the mirror. In the end we made it to the house safely and Luke immediately started using his tree trimmer and started cutting at this big mesquite tree we have in our back yard and he pulled weeds and I just sat there with the dogs and watched him. It was nice. I like doing yard work too and I think I will enjoy it more too once I can start doing that stuff again. All in all it was a really really hectic but very fun day. We get the new furniture delivered at the end of this month, I can't wait!
