I'm a big kid now!
Dustin and I are having our families over here for Thanksgiving dinner! It'll be my first turkey! I'm so excited to have a place large enough to have people over, the condo was so freaking small it never would have worked.
Dustin and his dad put down the fake wood flooring in the basement last week. It looks great! Now we need to get some furniture, tv, (and a bar??) down there and make it a nice room!
Last night we rearranged our living room a bit and made it look less like a college dorm room. We hid our DVD shelves against the brown paneled wall (instead of against the white wall, on either side of the tv) and that made it look a ton nicer! We also got matching end tables from his Grandma that look surprisingly good! Oh, and we FINALLY hung our pictures and shelves up on the walls (instead of me randomly hanging things on whatever nails the last people left...)
Tonight we went rug shopping! We ended up getting two of them at Ollies, and one at KMart... Rugs are EXPENSIVE, so we had to go to the cheap places. :) We got a round one for the living room, a runner for the hallway and a huge one for under our bed (it slides all over the place and the supports in the middle keep falling down). We have all hardwood floors upstairs, so we needed some rugs. (And this is the REAL hardwood, not the fake stuff.)
I want to take a few weeks and hike some of the Appalachian Trail this summer. The halfway point is pretty close to here. That will give me something to do while Dustin marches corps again this summer.
That's it for now. I need to get a shower and then sleep! Last day of school tomorrow until next Tuesday, and I have a guest speaker coming in!! What could be better?? :)
