My house feels more like a home now

I got a chance to get out of Houston this weekend and head home to Portland before going on my training trip to Albuquerque. It was really good to see Hayley, my mom and dad, and (of course) Bella. I flew in late Friday night, and stayed the whole weekend. So, like I've done every other time I have been home since going to Houston, what did I do this time? Spent a bunch of money. We kind of had a list of what we wanted to get for the house by the time I moved back home, so what did we do? We got it all this weekend.

So, I have a couple pictures of the new place:


This is the new bed. We got the bed frame and headboard on Saturday, and bought the bedspread and had the mattress delivered on Sunday. Boring for most, really exciting for me.


This is the living room. We have the new couch (didn't buy it this weekend), and then a new surround sound system and coffee table.

So the house feels more like a home now that we've filled it with stuff! Plus, now that we have a big TV, giant couch, and a nice surround sound system, this place is ready for a party! Don't tell Hayley, but there's going to be a lot of video games played and sports watched here when I get home.

It kind of sucks though, because I still have to wait 2 more months before I can move back and enjoy it! Until then, I'm stuck in Houston. At least there are a lot of good concerts and a few good friends.
