Spontaneity -

This weekend was really quite fun. :) We woke up Saturday, and asked each other, "what do we want to do today?" This led us on a 45 minute scenic drive out to Winchester for a yummy breakfast at Cracker Barrel! From there, we decided to check out a furniture store.. and yet again, didn't see anything we liked. After that, Ryan drove us over to the SPCA, since he knew I'd love to get a "puppy fix" by visiting with all the cute pups. (though I really think that's just his cover... I think he wanted to go as much as I did.)

After we drove back home, we headed out to Belfort, which had a really nice end table we were thinking about getting. But once we were seriously looking at it, we didn't think it was really any smaller than the one we currently have... and the reason we wanted a new one was because the one we have now is so big! In any event, we walked around the store again, and actually fell in love with this beautiful leather chair that we hadn't seen before in our previous trips.

We left, and we both kept thinking about the chair. They had a very limited supply in stock, and once they sold out, we'd have to wait 4 to 5 months for another one to be shipped. So... after discussing it a bit more, we went back and bought it. :)

Since it was in stock, they loaded it up on Ryan's truck and we were able to bring it home! We moved the ripped, tattered recliner (thanks to Kylie) out of the apartment, and put the new, gorgeous chair in it's place. It looks perfect! I'll bring in pictures tomorrow. :)

So, we were dropping off the old recliner over at the dumpster within our apartment complex, when we saw a girl with her dog up on a second story balcony. "I think that's the Boxer," Ryan told me, referring to a Boxer puppy we had been seeing around in our apartment complex. Well, we wound up talking to this girl, Liz, and she and her fiancee invited us up to their apartment. We chatted for over an hour, and ended up making some new friends. :) We all exchanged numbers, and hope to hang out again sometime. Pretty good timing, too, since, really, the only couple we were friendly with in our complex.. well, they recently broke up, and the girl moved away. We know some of our other neighbors, but we really don't share much in common, so we've never really hung out before. So, that was really nice!

Yesterday was cloudy and rainy-looking, so it was definitely a nice day to relax after our busy Saturday. After church, we went over to my parents' house for dinner, and came home in time for America's Funniest Videos, and Extreme Home Makeover. Perfect cuddling opportunity! :)

Hope you all have a great Monday!
