Our new furniture arrived this week! Rusty and I set aside some of our "house" money for a new living room set. The furniture we had in the apartment was given to us by Rusty's father and worked great for two poor newlyweds. However, we were ready for a new set so that we could be comfortable and have enough seating for guests.
We went to three different stores and sat on countless couches, recliners and loveseats. American Signature Furniture won in the end and they delivered within a week. They also offered a warranty for a couple hundred dollars for any malfunctions OR stains for five years. With a new baby, we could definitely use protection from stains.
My parents' church (my home church) has a picnic at a nearby park every year, so Rusty and I decided to go (to eat and show off the baby of course). My dad loved showing everyone his grandson! One of my sisters and my brother decided to show up too!
One other notable happening this week, Rusty won Biggest Loser at his work. We've been talking about losing weight and getting more active and Rusty definitely took it to heart. He and some coworkers take a walk around the parking lot in the afternoon. He also completely cut out eating out. Rusty got into the habit of eating out in his last job, so now that he's taking his food we've literally saved HUNDREDS of dollars. It's a little insane. His company has ongoing Biggest Loser challenges, so he's already signed up for the next one and will hopefully be successful losing more weight!
