adventures in garage sale-ing...

Wow. So it has been quite awhile since this thing has been updated. But life has been crazy! It's the end of the semester so that means EVERYTHING is due and I have been going CRAZYYYYY with all the driving and schoolwork I've had to do. But it's finally slowing down and now I can get back to work on the apartment and relax for a little bit before I start it this all over again in June.

Nate and I have been back to Columbia for the past two weekends, so this is the first full weekend we've really spent at our new home. The weekend before last was my cousin's wedding shower and sister in law's birthday. And then last weekend we had our friends' (ReNee and Josh) wedding. Nate was doing the music so spent the weekend at the rehearsal and then the wedding.

Here he is hard at work at the reception!

This past week was my last week at school with my kids, which was kind of sad. :( I'm definitely going to miss them! But it was a good week! We went to the zoo and had a lot of fun! It was exhausting but a great field trip! This past week was also the week our friends Stephanie and Ryan moved up here. We helped them paint their apartment Thursday and then move everything in today.

Nate and I also woke up early this morning to find some yard sales. And we actually had some success! Nate got a computer for FIVE DOLLARS. And it works great! And it's worth wayyyyy more than that! And he is super excited! And he got his mom a new microwave! And I got some candle holders, a really cute brand new pair of J. Crew khaki shorts, new tennis skirt, and Champion jacket.

Also...I have a few more pictures of the apartment now! We got some cute nesting tables from IKEA that make perfect endtables. So here are some befores and afters...

And there it is!

And here's the living room...

And two of our new tables!

And our makeshift china cabinet!

And our kitchen table!

We also planted lots of plants out on our balcony! We have tomatoes, basil, oregano and flowers. They're growing like crazy and very soon we'll be able to cook using our very on vegetables and herbs! Yummmmmmmm! :)

My soon to be flowers! :)

So that is all. It's not super interesting but it's our life! And we're loving every minute of our new adventures in our new home! :)
