Here are a few pics from the stuff we had going on first week with RUF. Mike and I are pretty exhausted and have felt pretty busy with having stuff most nights of the week and at least one day of the weekend. It has been fun to have the students back though and we are anticipating the rest of the semester. I really have not done very well at taking pictures so sorry I dont have more.

On a whim Saturday morning, Mike and I decided to go garage saleing (I dont know if thats a word, but I hope ur okay with it) and we found a beautiful table like one I had looked at earlier this year and almost bought. Since our current table is a loner from a family in the church, I have always been keeping my eyes open for a good deal. It took a while to decide but we finally decided to buy the table and we would just shop around for chairs to go with it. The table is in excellent condition and was refinished about 2-3 years ago. I am not quite sure if the woman knew what she was thinking as she gave it to us for 25 dollars and I have seen tables exactly like this selling for 225 and they werent in as good condition.

We found these chairs at an antique place in Versailles (a town over from Lexington) today. We liked them because we thought they did not look too dressy like some antique chairs can and they are really comfortable (they are also a good size-- older chairs tend to be smaller). I dont particularly care for the fabric on the chairs, but yet again another project for another year. I think this will be the last of our furniture buying since we spent the last of our Christmas money, but we both feel very satisfied with our furniture and how our place looks. Although the table looks a little out of place in a more white accented kitchen. Hope to talk to each of you soon!
