A plea for old stuff.

Hey kids.  So this January, I'm moving into a house for the first time for college.  It's an ADORABLE house, complete with lofts in every room and paid utilities.  I'm really excited about it.  However, it doesn't come furnished for each tenant.  Fortunately, I'm buying my contract from a close friend who is willing to leave her bed frame and mattress behind for me to use. (Though I was secretly hoping I'd have to find my own bed, which would be a double, meaning I could finally take my memory foam mattress topper with me to school... bummer.)  Also, I do have a desk that I took with me last year and plan on moving to Cedar City again this year.

So basically I'm still left without a dresser, desk chair, and anything for me to sit on besides my bed.  I have this thing where I don't like to do anything (i.e. homework, reading, eating, watching movies, studying, internetting, blogging... oops.) on my bed but sleep, so I'd like to have some sore of loveseat/easy chair to put in my giant room in which to do my occasional chilling.  Also, I have my own loft in my room, so I think it'd be neat to furnish that a bit.

The point I'm trying to make is that if anyone who is coming to Mom & Dad's house for Christmas has any furniture they'd like to donate/sell to me, I'd be down with that.  Obviously I can still go to DI and find various things, but a) chairs of strangers make me nervous, and b) you all have great taste, and I'd love to be graced by the presence of your old stuff. :)

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, offers, funny jokes, double-sized beds lying around, or insults, give me a call or shoot me a text.  Unless it's the last one.  Then just keep that to yourself... *cough*Rachelle*cough*

Love you! I can't wait to see you all so so soon. :)

P.S. This all goes for decorative things too, such as drapes, mirrors, framed prints, etc.

Old Pics

Hi there.  Dad here.  I got a new scanner the other day, and the first project has been scanning a bunch of old black and white negatives I have.  It's been fun to see them and remember some of the places and people back then.  Thought I'd share a few of them with you.  If I have left one or more of you out, I apologize and may try again later when I get more scanned.

I thought it was cool that the mothers are in the background.

In the other pictures, he's smiling. 

Is he supposed to bend that way?

I guess that's enough for now.  Hope you enjoy them.  If you want to repost them to Facebook for a wider audience, that's ok with me.  Dad

Wishlist extension
