like IKEA?

...then you'll love our apartment! Saturday Michael made the largest IKEA purchase in our family's history. Thankfully he still had the U-Haul from his cross-country trip to carry his loot home! In case you're interested, here are some of my favorite items:
Anna's bed
fun rug for the den
Amy's desk
Michael's been working so hard unloading, loading, and unloading that little trailer. I bet he's glad he had to turn it in today so I couldn't send him on any more "runs"! If you've ever been to the IKEA retail store, I feel like we're trying to furnish a "living in 1000 sq. ft." model they do in the store.

Michael's trek took him across 11 states during his 3-day trip (Wed - Fri). He braved rain, I-40 construction delays, and the New Jersey turnpike along the way. Like he said on Wednesday night, "It's me and the big rigs out here." Except for the CB radio, of course.

Monday the rental furniture arrives, and Thursday Anna and I arrive. We are anxious to be there with Michael and get settled into our new "home"!
