For Jack's birthday we went to Idaho Falls (not as big as Columbia, but it does have a mall) for a movie and out to eat with his parents. We decided to kill some time at DI (Deseret Industries, the mother of all thrift stores) where we found a beautiful, wooden, STURDY entertainment center! It probably cost hundreds of dollars to it's previous owner. Then we went to Fred Meyer and found the most beautiful table (the 5-piece below, we still have to put together 2 of the chairs), well within our price range! And it's tall enough for Jack! Jack's birthday was wonderful and our house feels even more like a home!! We needed something to reward how hard we're both working and after rearranging all of our furniture again last night with the new addition, it's needless to say that this oughta last a while! I have class early, so I better get some rest, but I love you all and hope you're having a wonderful week!
PS - I know it looks like the 70's exploded on my kitchen floor, don't laugh! Okay, laugh, I laugh all the time. But I love our first house!!

Hate to break it to you, Erika, but you get the clutsy and OCD thing honest--sorry...it's the not-so-great things you get from your mom! Ha! Hey, I LOVE your table!!! It looks good and fits great there! Your grandmother will be thrilled when I show her the picture on your blog-she so wanted to find ya'll one when we were there. I hope class went well for you today and I hope you finally got warm yesterday. (Broke my heart to think about you being so cold so I didn't wear my fuzzy socks to bed!) I love you and miss you - we are still thinking of coming in April for General Conference. I'll keep you posted and I'll know next week which EFY Addi's going to attend. The one in Provo is bigger but I want her to visit the campus and spend time at BYU-Idaho ... we'll see. Love you and I'll talk to you tonight. Great table!!!
I so remember my first house and what really makes it a home is the love between two people. The rest is gravy! I still laugh at some of my early decorating attempts especially when trying to camoflauge floors, walls etc.!
Enjoy your new table may you have many happy meals together.
You're doing a great job! Laughing is part of it! I love the table and the FLOOR!
Your table is beautiful. Ya'll just stick together and keep laughing and you can't go wrong!
