A long awaited purchase


So one thing that Bonnie and I have always wanted is a coat rack. We would look everywhere for them back in Como, but they were always way too expensive or just totally out there tacky. Every time I would go to a garage sale or thrift store and look for books I would always keep my eyes open but always to no avail.

So since Bonnie and I actually had a weekend off this past Saturday and Sunday we decided to spend part of Sunday at our local Homeplus (target-like) and actually take our time walking through the whole store and checking out the goods. This is actually pretty important to do. Since we can't read we really have to look closely at pics and stuff to decipher what we might be getting.
Well long story short as we were wandering through the home section the clouds parted and a light shown down from heaven upon the holy grail of our marriage thus far. There is was. A coat rack made of wood priced at 23,000 won (about $20) that didn't look tacky. We decided we must snatch it up. Now it sits in our front entryway eagerly awaiting the winter.
The other two pics were some sweet finds at a furniture thrift store across the street from our apt. We had always seen this place with little relics sitting on the sidewalk from our window but never had the time to venture down. We found the time and now we have a new love seat and a second tiny night stand for our bedroom. Yippee! That's all I've got.
Cheers to my first fantasy football victory of the season this past weekend. My team needs some improvement. Pray for them.
