but a lot of NEW & EXCITING things have happened in the last week for matt and i. (well,
expensive things really.... but they are still fun!)




we got new furniture last week saturday and it got delivered on Wednesday. we had only gone to one store before we found this one (which i didn't expect at all!).


We found it at Turk Furniture while they were having moving sale.... so what we saw is what we got and what i saw was exactly what i had been looking for. Kinda modern, but functional. Matt's only request really when picking out the couches was that one part of it had to recline if he was going to have to get rid of his lazy boy.... so he got his request... actually 4 seats on it recline! Well, when we got it, we realized that it takes up a lot more space in the living room than we had thought, but once the christmas tree comes down, I think it will feel at least a little more spacious! We will be able to move the tv around hopefully and maybe Matt could make some bookshelves for me! =) But the next immediate (after Christmas) project is... PAINTING!
and, ANOTHER NEW thing that we bought was a new car! Yes, the Cadillac is gone. Sad to say. I did like the car, but it's just not fun to drive in the ice and snow. So, we said good-bye to the caddy and bought an "as close as you can get to a mini-van vehicle, but not a mini-van" FORD EDGE! It's a cross-over and it's pretty sweet! I enjoy driving it a lot!
* bye bye caddy =( *
hello "LIVING ON THE EDGE!" haha.... 2008 Ford Edge (used)
(sorry it is a stock image.... haven't taken a photo of it in real life yet)

We hope everyone's Christmas season is going well. Last weekend was a little bit busy, and this coming weekend will be even busier! We have b'day party on Friday night, Saturday night Derks Christmas Party, Sunday our immediate Hoekstra Christmas Party. It's just crazy!
