Price Comparison

So not a whole lot to report about today which is okay with me.  We had a chill morning at the house getting a few things done and deciding what we would do for the day.

We first went to check out the local mall of Westfield.  Our mission- of course- was looking for more rain jackets...a few nibbles but still no bites.  We then went into price comparison mode for getting some kitchen necessities.  For those of you who dont know- we packed up our little Ford Focus with necessities and headed out west, therefore kitchen things did not make it into the car.  We looked at Walmart, IKEA, and Target.  Surprisingly- or not so surprising, Walmart won with the lowest prices (so those cheesy commercials are true).

Fun Fact for you- the IKEA in Renton, WA was the first IKEA ever in the USA- wow!  It was a huge and of course mind boggling layout all on one floor.  We picked up a few must haves like small colorful plastic bowls (great for ice cream), dish brush, small cooking utensils (my FAVORITE ones that I used all the time back home) and a shower curtain.  

After a day of running around we headed back home.  We were able to do a quick skype time with my family- seriously skype is amazing...i love the fact that I can see my family in their own time zone and talk with them live- so good.  We had dinner with Rebecca and ended up talking about taxidermy animals, the circus and NYC- it all flows together right? :)  Chris was suppose to be speaking at a conference this weekend, but didn't find out until he landed in Chicago that the conference was cancelled- bummer deal for him.

Tonight we watched OUR SHOW, Grey's Anatomy, for the first time in Seattle.  I am telling ya Bethany and Karen- come experience the real deal and get the Grey's tour :)  We shall chat about tonight's episode soon!

So as silly as it may sound- pray for wisdom in buying the necessities that we don't waste our money or our time and that we wouldn't be picky!  Also pray that we get more freebies than expected so that we don't have to buy as much!!!!

alright family and friends we love you and bid you sweet dreams and a good night sleep.
