New computer! And rearranging furniture...

(This is my 5th post in 5 days - I know, I think it's a record - so if you've missed any, feel free to keep on scrolling :)

We got a new computer. A Christmas gift to ourselves - and what a gift it is! Wow, we love it. We feel like real grown-ups now because this is our first time owning a desktop computer. Yep, no more laptops baby. (Well, Jeremy has a work one, but whatever). With this new purchase, we decided to move our desk out into the family room. We never really used it before, except when we needed to print something, but obviously we needed to use it now. We wanted it out there so it would be more convenient and because we thought we should have it out in a more common room. So we did some rearranging!

Last Wednesday (the day after we got back from CA), I took down all the Christmas stuff so we could get going on our new set-up. We had a real tree in the living room (where my digital piano used to be, but I sold it a couple months ago) and I was going to wait for Jeremy to get home to take it out, but I decided what the heck, I can do it. So I took the tree outside, cleaned up all the needles and did part one of our rearranging. I moved our big oversized chair from our family room into our living room and I think it looks great in there! It makes it a little more cozy and now someone can sit in there and enjoy some music. :)

Before - with Christmas up (my digital piano used to be along that wall with the mirror; and by the way, I love the hanging advent calendar Jeremy's mom made for us - I should've taken a close up):

And now! I think it looks nice. Oh, and in the corner you can see the top of the music stand Jeremy got me for Christmas. Yea for a music stand!

When Jeremy got home Wednesday - after we set up the toddler bed - we moved the desk from our guest room out into the family room. I love it! I think it looks great and it's nice to have it right there. We set up our computer that night after Eli went to bed along with moving some pictures around in the family room and rehanging shelves in the living room. Then on Friday, Jeremy drilled some holes, spliced two internet cables together, and ran them under the house to hook up our internet. I sure love this guy. :) He saves us money all the time with his handy skills. So now we're up and running!

We love this new computer and I've actually already sold my laptop! I put it up on KSL (online classifieds in Salt Lake) on Saturday and had it sold for my asking price within an hour and a half. Suh-weet! (Maybe I should've asked more, eh?)

So we've been busy rearranging our house. Jeremy ended up having Thursday and Friday off of work last week. We felt silly driving back for him to work one day, but he really needed to work that day and he didn't know he'd have Thursday off until he got back. It was great though! We got so much done. Not only did we set up Eli's bed and rearrange a bunch of furniture, but we also went through Eli's closet and organized a bunch of clothes and toys into bins and finished getting unpacked and our house back to normal. We're now ready for the new year! Kind of anyway. There's still a lot to do, but it was nice to have so much time to get things done. Now it's back to reality and on to the next project!
