couches galore!!

remember way back when i was stressin over a good sofa? that was like 5 months ago, and i finally picked one out today.

claire sofa

its the claire sofa in granite and its from macy's and it was on sale for $600 and it should be here in two weeks. i am so excited and very relieved. i was beginning to become sofa obsessed!

after the big purchase, will and i went to eat some lunch and decided after to stop at this thrift store/garage sale place/thingy on sprauge. we went there once early in the summer and found some cool old treasures. right when i walked in i saw the most perfect yellow sleeper sofa for only $40! 

it is in dang near perfect condition, for the exception of a few kitty claw marks on the arm and the dead body smell embedded in the cushions, but im sure i can shampoo the smell out. two couches in one day?! thats pretty awesome, i think. 

ALSO! on the same note as furniture, my awesome mom went to orcas island and visited some family a couple weeks ago and got me the cutest chair as a house warming gift!!!

arent those colors great? i couldnt have had picked out a better looking piece of furniture! 

she also gave me some of her plants, including her avocado tree that she started from a pit. if i kill this sucker, she will probably kill me! ha.

and that super cute window pane was given to me from my bff, keilah, as a house warming gift. my friends and family know me so well! :]

things seem to be coming along quite well. i wish i could say the same about the old house and getting it rented out. we plan on going over there tomorrow and doing the last bit of cleaning. keep your fingers crossed that it gets rented quickly and to some people who will love it. 

took this a few nights ago coming home from a long night of drinking. i love coming home to our new home!!  

living out of boxes.

well moving day came and went... we picked up the uhaul last friday night. packing was a bitch, to say the least. i dont know how two people can accumulate so much crap in 2 years, but we managed. 

with the help of a lot of great people the move ended up being relatively stress free. 

saturday morning at the old house. an intimidating sight.

messy, messy, messy.

all of saturday was spent moving. by 6pm i was pooped, the uhaul was returned and i was relaxing with a glass of wine in my backyard. it was great. by 10 i was a little buzzed and in bed ready for sleep.

more mess moving in.

chaos.

i woke up at midnight with the worst stomach ache and was sick with the flu all day sunday. it was the pits. i dont think i have ever had stomach pains that bad before. 

monday i woke up feeling much better and got some unpacking done. pretty much just the necessities, and then it was back to work on tuesday. 

every night i have tried to unpack just a little bit, but when you come home exhausted, its hard to find the motivation. 

i had today off from work and was eager to blog and show some of pics of the move and how things seem to be settling in. 

i thought for sure that this place would be a little bit more organized, but im really okay with it not. the last few months have been a whirlwind of emotions, anxiety and new beginnings and i am done with adding unnecessary stresses. it will come together eventually.
