Hip Hip Hooray

Today Matt and I bought some furniture for our new living room. So we spent a good long time on three different showrooms sitting on many different couches and loveseats. We finally agree on a sofa-chair set, we pick out end tables and a coffee table to match and low and behold, they only have the couch in the color we want. They might get in a chair or loveseat in that color sometime but they changed distributors and weren't sure when or if they would have it again. Aaww crap! So we go back to look at the same set in a different color. The salesman said he would give us a nice little discount and the loveseat instead of the chair if we bought it in the lighter color. I had my heart set on the "mocha" color. But, we ended up going with "honey." And now that I think about it, I am sure it will look quite nice. I am excited. Now we just have to find an area rug to fit in with all the new furniture.

While shopping for furniture, the tree guy called and said they would start work tomorrow. Yipee! I can't wait for that. It will be so nice to be able to do our own thing in the backyard. We have five trees and three bushes coming out. We are also having the maple tree pruned.

And to round out the house stuff, we are having our chimney cleaned tomorrow. It will be so much fun to be able to use the fireplace.

Man...being a homeowner is fun and very expensive!
