A nice long weekend

I took a 3 day weekend (was going to be 4 days but I really need to go in tomorrow and help with installing the Reclaimed Exhibit). Friday I went on a little shopping trip to Ikea - met Morgan & Corbin or lunch in the cafe, then we spent several hours in search of items to help organize out tiny house... skinny indoor bin for recycling-check, Grundtal Stainless shelves for kitchen-check, shower curtain and hooks for basement bathroom-check, pull out bins and extra clothes polls for our closet-check...oh and of course Swedish fish to snack on :)

Speaking of Swedish Fish...look at this hilarious image I found...



Friday night we went to dinner with Kevin's family to celebrate Jen (our sister inlaws) birthday. Amy & Matt and our new nephew Braxton were in town and we had a great dinner at Lebanese Taverna at Pentagon Row.

Saturday we made an attempt to hang our beautiful pendant lamp in the living room. We took down the ceiling fan and installed the pendant, but when we turned the breaker back on we heard a really loud POP! not sure what it was, but we took the light back off and now the fan part and pendant are all around the dining room and waiting on anelectrician. We did get the Grundtal shelves up, a mirror in the living room, futon that Morgan gave us for the basement, etc.

And now I am sitting on the couch enjoying having the windows open - the weather is just perfect! Our Magnolia tree is in full bloom with huge pink flowers - and I'm sad to think that they are only going to last a few weeks more, but we are enjoying Spring so far!
