What's Been Going On?

This week so far has been very busy, which has contributed to the lack of posting. I'll try to give a brief rundown of what we've done this week.


Monday night Christi's parents invited us over for dinner. We ate a really good meal there and enjoyed watching tv with the family. Also on Monday, Christi went to her new school and met some of the teachers she is going to be working with. Summer is almost over and she is going back to school soon!


Tuesday we got our dining room set - a table and 8 chairs. This was exactly what we were looking for and we are thrilled that we didn't settle on some earlier sets. Christi's parents helped us get everything together and situated like we wanted. Now that we have that all the main floor rooms are done with furniture. Since I knew we were getting that, I haven't posted a ny living room pictures. Instead, I'm going to take some more pictures of both sets because the room is connected and post them at the same time.


Wednesday Ryan's dad and stepmom (Donnie and Lewanna) came over to see our new furniture. It was their first time seeing everything inside the house and they seemed to really like what we have done with the place. We ate supper with them and hung out most of the night. It was a fun night that we enjoyed it because we don't get to see them as often as we would like. Besides having a great time, my dad told me of a place where we can get some glass cut for our broken picture frame. This was outstanding news because we could not find another similar size frame or a cheap frame to take the glass out. I'll be picking up some glass on Friday to put in the frame, which will complete our bedroom decorations (for the time being, anyway.)


Today, my grandfather (Sappoo) and his wife (LaVerne) came over to check out our new dining room table. Every time we get something new they are one of the first people to come check it out and tell us how much they love it. This time they were looking at the dining room set that we had gotten earlier in the week. Following the pattern of the week, we also went out to eat with them at Buffalo's and then relaxed while watching some tv. While we were watching tv, I fixed a few minor things on their new laptop. It was enjoyable getting to sit and talk with my grandparents about things that are going on in each others lives. Being able to do things like that on essentially any day we want to are one of the many reasons we decided to come back home. After watching tv, Christi and I went over to our storage unit and loaded the 4Runner with a lot of things for Christi's classroom. Tomorrow she will be able to begin working on her new classroom. She is very excited about being able to start setting up her new room like she wants too.


Now we are back at home watching tv (again) and breaking in our new living room furniture. We're both glad tomorrow is Friday because we have a lot of fun things to do this weekend. I'll have all the photos of the new rooms once we get some final decorations in place. Check back for more updates.
