Omaha trip

I went to Omaha over the weekend, and had a lot of fun. I wish I'd had more time to stay, but oh well. We went up to Grand Island on Saturday to look through my grandparents' house and see what we all wanted. We were given stickers to put our names on the stuff we wanted, and then we would each pick out our #1 item in case there was more than one person that wanted it. It's hard to explain, but anyway. I hadn't planned on taking anything more than I could fit in my carry-on, but I walked into a spare bedroom and saw a blue rocker/recliner. It hadn't been claimed yet, so I sat in it, and immediately decided I had to have it. I could see myself sitting on it, watching TV or playing around on my laptop or even sleeping in it--it's so comfortable.

So after realizing I would have furniture to take back with me, I figured I could pick out a few other large things if I wanted. I picked out a solid desk thingy with a matching mirror and a jewelry chest/cabinet. I also got a porcelain tea set, a miniature crock pot (which I've been wanting), a DVD/VCR player and some other stuff. I'm planning on renting an SUV or utility van or something the next time I go up there and picking everything up.

So, I signed my lease yesterday! Yay! I'm not looking forward to moving (again), but at least nearly all my stuff is still packed up and ready to go, so it shouldn't take too long. I'll be picking up my keys this Saturday. :)
