Right after we moved in, Grant and I started unpacking boxes and making more and more of a mess. The mess can definitely get to you fast, so we were trying really hard to not be snappy, and just be happy and excited about our new place. Grant is a happy camper once his computer/internet are all working and ready for him to use at a moments notice. I am happy when my kitchen is done, and then I want everything else clean,but that is ok. So, my kitchen getting ready took longer than Grant’s computer that is for sure, but we finally have everything in the Dining Room, Living Room, and Kitchen ready and clean. We still have some papers to go through,but we can only do so much.

Grant and I don’t want to buy very much furniture unless we sell ours, or ours breaks and we have a real reason to be buying something new. Well, right before we moved Grant’s computer chair gave up its ghost. When Grant was packing our Penske Truck, we noticed that my computer chair was also broken. So, those were two things we needed. So, Grant and I of course know what we like,but we wanted to buy used. So, Craigslist pulled through again. We found the chairs that we really liked for pretty cheap.

Grant and I were able to get matching Chairs of the one shown above. Retail they are $280.00 each, and we got them for $100.00 each.

Here are some more views of them, we got them in Black leather though.

Here is the back view! We are so excited about them, they are comfortable, they look great, and we hope that they last a long time.

At the same craigslist posting, we also decided to get a coffee table, since we don’t have either. We got this one for $100.00 also which was cheaper than retail as well.

We like the style of this one, but I don’t think we will keep this one forever. For right now it works great! We like it,but it has some down sides like not seeing the glass and running into it with your shins.  Grant and I are already designing some new concepts, but those won’t come into fulfillment for a long time,but it is always nice to dream. Coming up soon are most pictures of our actual place!

Sorry for the long delay,but life has been crazy.  Grant flew out this Saturday to Searcy, Arkansas where our things are being stored in a storage unit. My cousin Simon picked Grant up from the airport, and he even helped him load the penske truck. It is so amazing to have such good friends who are willing to help us out on such short notice.

During this time, I was at our new apartment waiting for the U-verse guy to come and set up our service. He was very nice, early, and did everything just like we wanted. Then I went back to the Rivas’ house to get more stuff to bring into our apartment. Later that day Tanya and Wilson let me hang out with them, and I was staying at Shea and Anothy’s house so I wasn’t having to drive all the way back to Lakeway.

Grant left on Saturday to drive back to Austin, he made it Sunday morning at 8am, and he barley slept, and then he and I went out to breakfast at Dan’s.  Dan’s by the way has AMAZING breakfast tacos that are really inexpensive too.  Then we went to church met some cool people in the Westover 101 class, and after church had about 5 couples from the young married’s group help us move our stuff in. It would have taken us forever to do it by ourselves, and it was so awesome to have some help. Some of the girls even helped me unpack boxes, and  most of my kitchen is unpacked which made it almost useable.

Then Monday hit, Grant and I had to stay late at work, go back to Lakeway to get some last minute things, and then barely make it to our place around 10pm. We have been trying to unpack boxes, but there are so many random things that have to be done around the time when you move that we are very behind. We are hoping that we can get caught up this weekend, and make our apartment liveable.

It is amazing to have our own place already, even though we can’t do much with it yet,but our design ideas are already blooming, so hopefully we can get them finalized soon.

It is now 9:43am, and we have gotten Grant another flight! He is flying out tomorrow at 5:50am, lets hope this flight isn’t cancelled. He is flying from Austin to Houston to Little Rock, kinda dumb, but is seems that the bottle neck is Dallas.

It is 7am right now, and it has already been a long day! Grant got a call this morning at 4:07 telling us that his flight was canceled. So, we got a refund, and we are frantically trying to get him a flight either later today or tomorrow because we don’t want to loose the money that we put down on the Penske truck. So, lets hope that we can find him a good flight not through Southwest because they fly through Dallas, and that wasn’t working. We will give you more of an update later when we actually know what is going on.
