Furniture Shopping

Being that it is Memorial Day Weekend, we decided to truly celebrate...so we hit up the FURNITURE SALES! We went to John V. Schultz (not sure if he is related to Arthur F. Schultz, the other furniture store in Erie?) for their huge home sale, to just "look around." That store is seriously overwhelming, we started off trying out the couches, but after awhile our abs were sore from all the sitting and standing so much haha- never thought that would happen! We then moved on to the dining sets, and then when we were really tired we checked out the mattresses....at the end of the 5 HOUR expedition we ended up with a new:

- Couch

- Oversized chair

- Ottoman

- Kitchen table- pub style

- Six chairs

- Buffet table

- Queen Mattress

- Boxspring

We are very anxious to move out to Belleville, IL (a city east of St. Louis), especially now that we have all this awesome furniture!! The hardest part of the situation will be moving away from our families:( However we hope that it allows us to grow closer and begin some new traditions of our own.

The rest of the weekend will include going to Buffalo, NY to visit with Julie, then her and Dave are running the HALF MARATHON Sunday morning! GOOD LUCK:)

OUR NEW PLACE!!

A Wedding to Remember

So...the year and a half of planning turned out one of the best party weekends we have ever been a part of. The weekend started on Friday with a day at the spa for the ladies and a day on the links for the guys. The dress rehersal was sort of an uncontrolled gaggle in which the priest kept assuming we all knew what we were going to do, and when. I don't really think anyone really knew what would happen for the wedding day. Dinner and drinks afterward were amazing with a lovely slide show put on by Tina's sister Steph. The Chief decided that it was open mic night, and took it upon himself to provide the comic relief, luckily it didn't last too long. Melissa tried to make all of us cry....thanks a lot! Saturday started early with the girls doing makeup and hair while the guys got together for a little golf scramble. The wedding went off without a hitch on a beautiful May day. The wedding party looked amazing. Pics were even better. It was so meaningful to have our best friends and relatives there to support us. The saber arch was awesome, and Tina has the butt bruise to prove it. Now for the best part ---> the PARTY. If you didn't like Michael Jackson before, I think you probably have a whole new respect for him now. Kevin Bereda was quoted as saying, "If you didn't have fun at that party, it was your own damn fault." We want to thank everyone there and those who were in spirit for making our day unforgettable. More blogs to come.
