Getting Settled

We have been back in Vegas for two weeks. And what a crazy two weeks it has been!

When we got here we had a mattress, two folding chairs, a memory foam pad, a highchair and a pack n' play. And a few random kitchen things. Not much to live on. We started off looking on craigslist for furniture. Turns out that is a lot of work. We wasted so much time! In the end, we did get a bed for Adelyn and that's it. We found a nice furniture place (after going to two separate ones that ended up to be being out of business). We ended up with a couch and rug for the living room, dining room table and chairs for the dining room (duh) and a mattress. And just in time!

Friday night we had our first event at our house. We ended up having about 30 or so people over. It was a busy day of shopping and food prep. First guests started arriving around 9 pm. We had a great time and it was fun to see the different social groups collide.

Saturday Mickey came to town for a few days. And on Sunday Rick joined us.

It is so nice to have some furniture. It was getting challenging to eat every meal on the floor. And I'm sure Rick and Mickey appreciated a mattress versus sleeping on the hardwood floors. We are still on the look out for a few more pieces, but we've actually been enjoying the minimalist lifestyle we have started.

I've actually enjoyed this small apartment here because it's so much easier to keep clean.

Some day I'll get to Vegas, and I'll see your place...some day.
