Friday evening I landed at CLT and Thiago picked me up from the airport. I was so excited to go back to the apartment. I couldn't wait to see it for longer than 5 minutes, see all of our stuff, Jane and Cleber. Also I was excited because we were going to have Chicken & Cream Cheese pizza. Homemade :) Thanks guys!
Walking into the apartment was a little over whelming. The guys did a lot, I mean just unloading the truck was a project. They put the boxes there they should go (downstairs and upstairs). After a Yummy dinner and a nice relaxing beer it was off to bed.
One thing about being on the road I kind of hate. I wake up so early (6:30/7) and am ready to go. Well Saturday I was finally ready to get up at 8am and me getting up caused a domino effect. I think by like 10:30 the living room was the way I liked it and I was already opening the kitchen boxes.I didn't realize we had so much stuff. Before we had items in Chicopee and all of our wedding items and other things at my parents house. We will make everything fit, it's just a challenge now but luckily we have some storage in the attic :)
Next thing I know it was time to head to the airport to bring Cleber. We got there and made sure he got through security with no problems. Then it was time to let our adventures begin. We had a list of things we HAD to get and a list of things we WANTED to get. After stopping at Jox In The Box for lunch (totally not on my list of places to eat now) we found the mall. Concord Mills has every store you can thing of and is HUGE. We bought a vacuum at Bed Bath and Beyond: the Shark Navigator Lift-Away. We lucked out... between gift cards and a 20% off coupon we saved $100. We have always looked at the Dyson Ball but we just couldn't afford that right now.
Along exploring the mall we bought other items we needed. We went into HomeGoods which I have never been in and I found something I really liked. I envisioned it as a storage for our towels (we have a work around currently but with this piece they will be totally hidden). It was on sale and a good buy but I didn't purchase it (I don't think Thiago loved it).
The photo below isn't the print (I should of taken a photo of it). The one at the store was more of a travel theme. Maybe in the near future I will see if it is there again.
Lets just say we dropped some money this weekend between things for the house and food, but everything we got is stuff we HAD to get so I am happy :)
Thiago is already talking about getting a little patio set for outside. We bought 1 hanging plant and a friend sent us a hummingbird feeder which I can't wait to use :)
I promise photo's will come soon. Next weekend I'll take some photos but they will still be a work in progress I am sure.
Sounds like you got so much done! Isn't Home Goods an AMAZING store?!!? They seriously have EVERYTHING you could need/want for a home. Is that the style trunk you want? I can start internet hunting if you want.
