Patio furniture? I'm such an adult!

[starflow]

I went to Milford, MA today to pick up a small teak wood table, chairs and umbrella stand for our new place. It needs a little repair, but we're pretty happy with it. Coupled with our tall metal table, I think we're set for patio furniture. Now we need an umbrella

Fun! Are you storing it at your apartment until move-in day? You guys are way ahead of the game, buying furniture already!

I hate the patio furniture that I bought and really wish I had spent the money on more of an investment set and not some cheap crap from Home Depot.

Yeah, the table isn't that big and two of the four chairs fold up, so it's not a huge space eater. It'll do fine in the basement for a month, and we can use it for the party on June 15. I found it on Craigslist, and it needs a few repairs, but it should hold up fairly well.

We can't really buy much furniture right now, but once it gets closer we'll start going over exactly what's going to come with us. I think it's not gonna be much--the couches need to be replaced, and the bed. So it'll be like starting fresh!

Milford! That's practically my home town backyard!

You're ambitious to be buying more stuff to have to move. Can't wait to see the new place!

Well, there's a lot of stuff that won't be leaving here...at least, we won't be taking it out. I think we'll have a "yard sale" and let people move our furniture out for us when they buy it from us. This is my theory, anyway. We'll see what kind of mileage that gets when we get closer to the real date of moving.

I am very happy to be surprised by more regular updates on my friends page! So I decided to comment for some positive reinforcement. :D

Ha! I don't think my rather boring, staid life can compare to your awesome abroad world, but I'm happy to contribute to more posts on the friends page. House-buying is kinda crazy!
