confession

Micah and I set lofty goals for ourselves. All kinds of them...from weight loss to setting a schedule for Inu to organizational endeavors to savings accounts...goals help us keep our eyes on the prize...well, the kind of prize that doesn't involve Jesus. Though, what doesn't involve Jesus, really?

Anyway, I need to confess to you that we have decided to make our home livable...and part of this is enjoying living here. We got our furniture for the nursery at a great price from IKEA. We are super excited about how functional and useful it is. We have spent a great deal of time coming up with space saving ideas and purchases for the house. The most awesome thus far is a $10 pot lid wall holder. Normally we keep our pot lids under the stove. But since they are now on the wall, we got to empty one whole cupboard of bakeware and make room for some gadgets there were housed on the kitchen table.

So, here is the confession. We have decided to turn the 2nd bedroom into a den. (The 3rd bedroom is the nursery.) We're pretty excited about it. Eventually we will buy a "corner couch" for the room, but for now we have the loveseat. The glider we just got for almost $80 off will be in the den as well.

Part of turning the 10' x 11' room into a den was creating space for entertainment. We bought a big TV shelf with 18 13" x 13"boxes around the edges. It's what goes in the middle that I need to confess.

We bought a flat screen TV. And while not ashamed, it's a bit weird. We weren't super excited about the TV. It took us a week to plug it in. But it's flat, so it doesn't take up much space. Did you know that they don't even really make tube TVs anymore?

This is the first TV I have purchased. I had a 13 inch in college that my Dad traded me for a 24ish inch later. When Micah and I got married, we used his slightly larger TV.

This was doesn't take up much space and has a real pretty picture and colors.

So, there you go, we have a flat screen TV.

peace.
