a weekend of furnishing the home and grilling out

This weekend was pretty relaxing.  Jonathan and I spent Friday night in watching Grand Torino, which I LOVED.   Clint Eastwood still hasn't lost it after all these years lol.  

Saturday morning we woke up pretty early and found a yardsale on craigslist that sounded interesting.  We went and this girl was with her boyfriend.  She was moving in with him and so everything inside this rental house of hers was for sale.  I mean ALL of her belongings.   She had really nice taste too!  Pottery Barn, Pier 1, etc.   So,  immediately Jonathan and I found several things we thought would go well in our home.   We went to an atm and gathered enough money to buy 2 lamps, 2 side tables (beside couch), 2 ottomans, a tv stand, a kitchen storage counter (for microwave), and a wicker drawer unit for our bedside table/storage.  Not to mention some seasonal summer plates and more cooking utensils.   We really hit the jackpot of yardsales, which is unusual.

 By Saturday afternoon we met up with Lauren and her boyfriend and another couple at the Taste of Music City downtown.   We stayed for about an hour sampling food and beverages.  After that we went to a co-worker of mine's house and grilled out some brats and had beans and corn bread and a fire pit going.  It was a nice relaxing end to a nice Saturday.   

Sunday morning we woke up early again.  This is not on purpose; trust me.  We have some shades but not blinds and the sun comes right in our window by the bed.  So Sunday morning we decide is cleaning day!  We did clean a bit and also went by Ross and TJ Maxx.  We bought a big Marilyn Monroe picture to go next to our other black and whites in the living room.  Then we went to Goodwill and found a vaccuum for $17 and 2 beautiful matching paintings.  I couldn't believe our luck this weekend with our findings! 

After all our shopping we went to my parent's and my dad grilled out burgers, chicken, and hot dogs.  YUMMM.

 I came home on lunch today and since Jonathan has Mondays off he had put up all our pictures and the place is just feeling so much like home now.  The pest control guy is supposed to come today too.   Pretty happy about that!   I REALLY HATE ANTS NOW.  

Work is busy busy busy and I am looking forward to this baby coming like no other thing I have looked forward to!   It's even better than anticipating a vacation.  :)
