So another late night resulted in another 12:30 rising. Eventually we called Brian and made plans to meet at IKEA. We all ended up getting stuck in traffic and ironically enough arrived within minutes of each other. Forgetting that it was a holiday weekend, we got stuck in all that traffic. A trip that should have taken and hour or so ended up being two and a half hours. And that was with taking Route 1 up to Fredericksburg. Oh well.

We had a few hours to catch up with Brian and hear a little about his weekend. I'm really proud of you for continuing with the running like you have been. That takes real dedication and determination. :)

Jeff and I got lucky and found several items we had been looking for. Ever since my parents took the bedroom furniture that was in our guest room I've been wanting to furnish it with pieces that would be useful for my crafting supplies. Of course what we ended up with was not the original plan, but I think it'll work. We found a new table for our dining room and moved the old one upstairs for me to use. I also picked up a large bookcase for books and baskets to hold craft supplies. We, or I guess I should say, I, found some other accessory items like lights and picture frames that just some how ended up in the cart. Imagine that! So once again, Jeff's truck was very handy. It was just long enough for the bookcase to fit!

Oh, and did I mention we went and ordered the sofa and chair we had seen a few months ago? Well, we did. Unfortunately, it won't be available until October. Supposedly it's assembled in Italy, hence the shipping delay. And ironically, it's the same furniture that Maggie and Quentin also purchased. Out of all the sofas in Richmond, who would have guessed we'd pick the same one? In the same color? Weird..

I'm so excited about finally be able to work on the house like we've been wanting to. But, as Jeff mentioned tonight, we better stop buying things like furniture if we expect to pay for a wedding soon. Hmm...furniture, wedding, furniture, wedding...I just don't know ;)
