Simple Pleasures....

Yup, since I'm a simple girl, it takes very little to make me happy. Junby still marvels at my apparent delight in opening letters with a letter opener (there's just something about the sound of paper giving way under constant pressure and it opens in a straight line), or even placing stamps on envelopes (I did warn you, mababaw lang talaga ako :P ). Anyway, last Saturday, we finally received the first wave of furniture we had invested in!

Yup, our little home is starting to become more of a home than a large warehouse :P. We finally got the headboard, my dresser and Junby's dresser and our futon. Pictures? Nah, next time na, when everything is in place. The long weekend was actually very productive for Junby and myself. He somehow got inspired by the expected arrival of our furniture, he started to put together the second of two DVD cases we had ordered via Overstock.com. These were largely for his considerable DVD collection. With the arrival of the futon, he also put together the dining room set I had purchased a month ago from Ikea. It was quite a deal -- a table with four chairs for $199.00.

Since we had the futon already, we could now use the throws from Overstock and the three large pillows from Ikea. It was a tight squeeze though since we had already assembled Junby's chair but we managed. It just motivates me to start working on the other stuff to make space for what is truly essential. Now I am looking forward to the prospect of putting more order onto our closet since I have the dressers for some specific stuff. That's basically what made me happy over the weekend: the arrival of some of our furniture, the fact that I can now start putting some order into things and most importantly, my husband did all these things without me having to ask him twice :) Isn't he sweet indeed? I told him before, I hate nagging and I'm just thankful he's helping me not get into that rut. Also there is such a thing as the virtue of patience which I am slowly....oh so slowly growing in (or so I hope :P ).
