New purchases

With part of our tax return this year we decided to replace the dishwasher and get new furniture for our main living room.  The dishwasher we had came with the house and wasn't working real great any longer.  I have no idea how old it was but we were ready for a new one.  One Saturday afternoon Jeremy and I made a trip up to DSM, a little date if you will, and did some shopping.  We went to Homemakers first to find a new couch.  We looked around for a while and then found some we like with the help of a salesman there.  We picked out a couch, a chair and a half, and an ottoman.  Next was Costco and then Lowes to look at dishwashers.  We debated on a few of the different models and ended up going with the one that I like the looks of from the outside.  The dishwasher was delivered the next Thursday and the furniture came yesterday.  Our furniture that was in the living room has been moved down to the basement family room.  So far I am happy with the dishwasher and the new furniture it starting to look more at home too.
