Furniture "shopping"!

[hellojamie]

So this was my last weekend with my SO before he helps me move to Orlando. I'll be there at least until January. Anyway we were getting ready to head out for the day, and he says, "I have a question for you, and you can say no if you don't want to."

I always get butterflies because he only says, "I have a question for you" if it's a serious thing that only I can answer. Otherwise he just asks. So I said go ahead, ask. And then he asked if I would mind going furniture shopping for our future apartment. The one we'll have together when I get back from Florida. (I made him clarify this, to make sure, lol.)

I kind of wanted to freak out and scream and jump around, but I didn't. It was very fun and romantic, we both agreed on the perfect sofa and loveseat, were hounded by at least three salespeople, and just got to wander and discuss our future plans. We've discussed moving in together before, so it's nothing new. But talking about this sort of stuff is usually brought up by me, so I was kind of shocked when it was his idea to look for stuff for our future place.

Just wanted to share the excitement! I can't wait to have a place together and not have to worry about driving back and forth.

Well, I'm tossing every piece of furniture I have except my bed and another few pieces when I move. Something about "unsafe", "recall" and "got from the dumpster". Don't judge me, these types are cheapest D:<! We already agreed next visit that I need for look for furniture, see a doctor, and go to Planned Parenthood since they won't transfer my Nevada birth control prescription to California. That last one is the most stupid, it's the same organization ;_;!

aaaw that is really exciting! My SO has already started talking about our wondrous adventures in ikea when I get back and move in with him- the last time we went for pillows and spent $200 in there? I think decorating is an exciting prospect for any couple, I know I can't wait!

Thats fantastic. Last night I sent kevin to get 2 curtain rods and 2 curtains. He spend $120 dollars UGH! He's not a bargain shopper like I am

That is so sweet he was thoughtful enough to include you in those plans. I think us ladies sometimes have a better taste in those kinds of things anyways
