Adventure of the Retail Kind

At about 5:30pm last night, I looked at Nate and said, 'Do you want to go to Ikea and get this over with?'... Ikea closes at 9:00pm and it takes an hour and 45 minutes to get there so we already stretched ourselves pretty thin. We got there around 7:15 and started walking around. We found the dining room furniture. I showed Nate what I had picked out... He found a better table. We got to the bedroom section and I showed Nate what I picked out... He found something better... We couldn't find a desk so we are still looking for one of those... We found all the boxes and were in line to pay at 8:45pm!! Talk about power shopping!!

So we ended up with two of those huge carts full of boxes. Here's Nate with his cart full of boxes:


So, if we had thought this through and planned ahead, we would've brought a truck... But we didn't...

So we had to take a few boxes apart... and put the chairs in the car sans box... It worked out though. We bought a dining room table, 6 chairs, a cart thing that will act as a sidebar/platter thingy, a 6 drawer dresser, a 3 drawer dresser and two night stands! And it ALL fit in my vue!! That car rocks!!

The finished dining room table, 6 chairs and cart thing:


We still need to hang pictures and get a desk... but we are almost there!!!
