Our First Sale!

We Did It!

We are no longer craigslist virgins! We made our first sale tonight and it happened to be out big ticket item! We sold the weight machine!

Can't wait to see the rest of the stuff (futon, kitchen table/chairs, IKEA shelves, Target desk and a big movie banner). Tell all of your friends to check out our stuff on craigslist!

Catch up and Craigslist

It's been awhile again since I blogged so I figured I would do a quick picture catch up and then tell you about my latest obsession...craigslist.

Two weeks ago Clemson BEAT FSU! It was such a huge game here at Clemson and luckily we got to enjoy some southern tailgating before I had to go to work. Here are a few pictures from tailgating with the Rickett's family. Thanks for having us!!

This past Friday was the season opener for Clemson basketball. We won and got a special treat, we got to sit on the floor. Colin really enjoyed being so close and told me he wishes our season tickets were there! I agree!

Now about my new love...Craigslist! Colin and I cleaned out the garage this weekend and had a lot of old furniture to sell. So last night and tonight I have been working on posting a futon, kitchen table/chairs, desk, a movie banner, Ikea shelves and a huge weight machine on Craigslist. I've already had people asking about the shelves from Ikea and hope that I sell all of my items! Once we get it all sold and out of the garage we will actually be able to park our cars in the garage! Wish me luck!

It's almost Thanksgiving and my wonderful family is coming to visit. I can't wait to have our first Thanksgiving in our house with my parents and brother!

The Simple Things of Homeownership...

There are so many things that I am thankful for now that we are homeowners. I think the best things about owning a house are the most simple of things...

1. The mailbox. I love not having to go to the post office. Instead I can walk outside in my socks to put mail to be picked up and I can sit in my car to pull the mail out of the mailbox. Ohhh the joys of a mailbox.

2. A dining room. We have never had room for a dining room table before we moved into the house. We now have one and room for 6 people! We have yet to have a big dinner at our beautiful table (thanks Dad for making it!) but we are hosting Thanksgiving with my side of the family and can't wait for a full table during the holidays. Colin and I also eat dinner at our table most nights of the week. That means no TV just alone time together :0)

3. A yard. Never before would I have thought that I wanted a yard, until we moved. Because we have a yard we have been able to get a puppy, which was one of the best things ever. Bella is such a sweet dog and she loves to play fetch in the yard and we love to play fetch with her. (I do admit though, I love the yard but not the yard work)

4. The most important, I just love to know that this is OUR house and that all of our hard work has paid off and we can afford a little part of one of our life's dreams together.

Better finish making dinner before our shows start! Tonight is Dancing with the Stars and Castle!

Halloween, a Win and Great Friends!

We had a great weekend here in Clemson! First, it was Clemson's Homecoming weekend and so I went to Tigerama with Kate and Z. We had a great time and it's fun event to kick off the weekend. This year some of the football team preformed to Thriller but remained it Spiller. The crowd went nuts! I also hosted the Tiger Cub Birthday Party on Saturday morning before the game. All you need to know is that I had 250 lil kids and their parents attend the party, enough said!

Our good friends and Colin's old roommate Wes and Kate came to stay with us this weekend. Thanks for coming! We don't get to see the Sweeten's enough and every time we do, its always a blast. We tailgated with Wes's parents before the game and then stood in the pouring rain on the field to watch the Tigers run down the hill. Our Halloween night wasn't very eventful but it was fun. We handed out candy to the little kids in the neighborhood and then went out for some Mexican food.

Wes and Kate have a puppy named Bear that they brought with them. Bella and Bear are officially boyfriend and girlfriend. It was love at first sight and Bella has been looking for Bear all day long!

Today was just a lazy Sunday. After a busy weekend Colin and I napped with all the animals and ran to Target. I better get rested up for a busy week filled with board meetings and hopefully a Tiger win over FSU!
