settling.

Jake and I are in Washington and feeling pretty settled here already. We are done unpacking boxes and generally have everything put in it's place. Next thing to do is hang up pictures and put a slipcover on our 25 year old couches. It has been fun making this apartment our home. It was a bit hard to do that with the Raleigh apartment since there wasn't many of our things there and we wouldn't be living there much longer. It's been great to have familiar things and things that Jake and I have bought together.
We originally planned to wait on getting a tv but we got here and decided that we wanted one! After many trips to different stores, we decided on a 32" Visio from Costco. It's been great! Another big purchase was our dining table and chairs. We got a 5-piece set for $299 at this furniture discount store! Sweet deal. It has black legs on the table and chairs and the top of the table and seats of the chairs are a dark brown wood. Also, we bought a Dyson! We got the Dyson Slim and it is wonderful! I love it.
It has actually been great weather here. I guess we better enjoy it while it lasts..
Everyone come visit us!

I'm so glad you're letting those couches live on! Ah, they're nice. I'm sad you're doing slipcovers, though - you should just let their true "used to be white now is a nice beige" color shine!
We'll visit for sure - and we'll sleep on the couches!

Plan on a visit from the in-laws! We are excited to see your new place and also experience your new surroundings. I have never been up that way so I am really looking forward to coming.
