More Shopping

Slowly but surely our apartment is starting to look more like a comfy home. The only thing we are feeling is a lack of chairs. There is no place to sit down except on the floor or our bed so that item is moving towards the top of the priority list! Today we took account of how many gift cards we had and how much store credit we had at Bed Bath and Beyond and then we headed out with our list of items. Top on the list was a vacuum cleaner because our apartment is mostly carpet and second was to find the microwave that we received for our wedding and then returned to save on moving space. We found both items at Bed Bath and Beyond and went to the check out lane where a very nice lady behind us gave us one of her 20% off coupons so we saved $30 on the vacuum cleaner! We also still have lots of store credit and gift cards to the store even after those purchases so that will help as we slowly discover items we would like to have.

Our next stop was Target to get lighting for the living room and a humidifier because air conditioning dries out your throat as much as wood heat does. Hopefully that will help Eric to sleep better because his allergies have not sub-sided in this state even though we were hoping they would. Finally we stopped at Goodwill again to see if any new furniture had come in and sure enough, we found a nice computer desk for $50 and now it is nicely situated in our bedroom after taking it apart to get it through the door.

Praises: We are starting to have a comfy getaway spot we can call a home. We found some furniture that is both nice and was cheap.

Prayers: Prayer that we will be able to continue resting up and getting settled so we can relax before our next respite. We will be leading worship together on Wednesday, prayers that it would go smoothly, we could enjoy leading together and God would be glorified.
