Home Again, Home Again Giggity Gig

We got up at 6:30 this morning to get our rental van. It feels good to get back onto a more normal schedule. No more of this sleeping in 'til 10 that we were doing at my parents' place. Instead, we caught the bus all the way to North Van where we met Becca, picked up various furniture products (our friends seem to all be going through moves themselves at the moment and we've been lucky enuff to get a lot of cool stuff for free) and then bought our table. The History of Our New Dining Room Table: you would think for so simple a task as entering a store, picking out a table and then paying, there would not be a long back story. But there is! For as long as we've been together, Matt has had his eye on one particular table design: a bar-type table in solid wood with a medium finish. But every table we saw took an executive income and...no way. Then, upon arrival in the Land of Fresh Air and Freedom, we spot the very table my hubby has been eyeing...brand new for very, very cheap. So we got it. And it's a little thing, but bring home this table into our new apartment has been a treat for us. A 'marker' that we are indeed on the right path and the risks we took (and are taking) will be rewarded in big and small ways.
