Yard Sale Day 1 - Our friends Aaron and Kristin are about to leave Texas to go live overseas. They had a huge yard sale, and since we needed to make some room for baby, we decided to put some items in it as well. We got up early in the morning and Kevin helped get the big stuff out on the lawn. I spent almost all day out there helping with customers and organizing the tables to make them more presentable. I still had to work a few hours on Friday, so I had to go take care of that responsibility. Then after work Kevin helped get the big stuff back inside for the night. Then we went to McAlister's Deli for a date night. Whew! End Day 1.

Yard Sale Day 2 - Again, another early morning, only this time I stayed there until almost 4:00pm. This day I tried to spend less time on my feet since they were swelling. But I still had moments to get up and help customers and straighten. We had a dinner party for Aaron & Kristin at our house, so at 4:00pm I went home to clean a little and get dinner started. At 6:00pm guests started coming and we entertained (sort of - if you can call the Mizzou football game entertainment) until about 9:30pm. Kevin and I were so tired we could hardly move. End Day 2.

We got the spare room ready for the furniture. We cleaned the baseboards and mopped the entire floor. Then our friend Tim helped us, along with his truck, to move the baby furniture from Aaron & Kristin's to our house. Yay! We have our baby furniture. We can now check that off our list of things to do. Then afterward we went back to Aaron & Kristin's so Kevin could help them take apart their bed. Then we went home and did some cleaning since our apartment was a wreck after this long and tiring weekend.
From the yard sale we made about $110 from our stuff. Woohoo! That was really more then I thought we would make, so we're pretty excited. Maybe now we can get the glider rocker for the baby's room. Here's some pictures of our new furniture. We don't have it set up like we want yet since Kevin still needs the room to study. His desk is still in there for the rest of the semester, then over Christmas we will move that into the living room and put the furniture in place. So fun!
