Our new addition!

Well, we did it...we finally upgraded to a new TV and entertainment system. We had a bet going with some friends of ours (the Hammers) that we would be the last to get a new TV...and we lost.
Our other entertainment center was old, and a little on the "could fall over at any time stage." And the TV, well let's not even go there. The only TV that Jason or I had ever owned was a gift from our parents in high school or a hand me down from a friend in Okinawa. That TV weighed I am not kidding about 250 pounds. It was a tank!
We looked for an entertainment center online and decided to take a trip to IKEA to get a decent priced one. Jason wasn't too thrilled about it, because that meant he had to not only brave the store, but put the darn thing together too. Luckily the day we were supposed to go to IKEA we found a deal on Ramstein Yard Sales (think Craigslist). I am very happy with it and had fun organizing and decorating it.
Our new TV is very nice and I'm happy with the new furniture set up in our living room. It feels much more open and homey to me. (Excuse the mess...and other stuff...still in decorate/reorganize mode.) ;-)
I am very thankful for it all!!

We won! Does that mean we win a prize?!?

We may still have the oldest, ginormous, big-box tV around, but we actually just made a huge move in our entertainment life.....we just signed up for basic cable. This is a big step for us. I'll let you know how it goes. :)
