just a-swingin...

So first off, thank you to all my family and friends who made my birthday so special! It was a great day! This is just a quick update, and I will post more on this later. And I have a lot of posts coming up about the house! Get excited! ;P

Me enjoying my new present from Bryant. :D

Who says you can't get anything for a buck any more?

Saturday I stopped by Re-Store after not having been there in several weeks. The last few trips I've came home empty handed. This was a different story though, after making it about half way down the first isle I saw this. A Herman Miller office chair. I wasn't too keen on the brown upholstery as I was walking up to it, but that immediately changed when I saw the price. $1. It actually had a bunch of $2 price tags on it along with the yellow $1 sale tag. Which I'm pretty sure means this has at least been there for a week. I guess it was just my lucky day, it even had a dime under the cushion which brought the total after tax to $0.96. It's no where near perfect shape, the rubber trim around the edges was off on one side. Lucy and I decided to go ahead and fix that tonight so I grabbed Lucy's hair dryer (to soften up the rubber) and hot glue gun. About ten minutes later the trim was back on.

Hope you guys like it!

small hands...smell like cabbage...

Last week there was a small carnival at the end of the street, so obviously Bryant and I decided to spend part of our Friday night "enjoying" the sights and smells. haha So here are a few photos from the fun night and oh so delicious funnel cake. Yum!

My favorite part of the night by far was while Bryant and I were standing in line to get a funnel cake, this little gem of a conversation happened.

Me: Do you need anything special to make funnel cakes?

Bryant: [In a very serious tone] Yes...carney hands.

Bwahahahahaha! I couldn't breathe, I was laughing so hard!

not lost in translation...

The Coppola family is no doubt an extremely talented family. I have always wanted to try Coppola wine and luckily we got a bottle of Sofia Riesling for a house warming gift from Bryant's family. Now normally I'm not a huge fan of Riesling, but this wine was delicious and we will definitely get it again!
