I thought I would try and sandwich in one of my slightly normal Sunday photograph posts between the wedding and the huge wave of Chicago Honeymoon posts that I'll start posting next. After having five amazing nights in Chicago it was back to reality in Detroit yet we've still managed to pack in some fun before the boy heads back to work tomorrow. Yesterday we went to see one of the boy's favourite musical acts - the Trans Siberian Orchestra. I will admit to knowing only a couple of their pieces but the whole act was mind blowing with huge pyrotechnics, strobe lighting, moving stages and a lot of head banging. The rest of the weekend has been spent constructing our goodies from Ikea [yes even America as Ikea]. We spent some of our wedding money getting our flat more homely - we brought a new TV stand come storage piece, a huge new bookcase and three chairs to go with our new kitchen/dining table [saved from our friends basement]. I have a love for putting together Ikea goodies anyway, but its rather fun doing it together. I guess it would be wrong not to mention Christmas seeing it's practically here - we booked our trip down to Pittsburgh to see some of Joe's family which is somewhat daunting for me seeing i've only met his Gran so far. This week I still have to finish off my Christmas shopping, wrap all of the husbands pressies and probably finish off the Ikea jigsaw of goodies!
How exciting buying things for your flat :) Can't wait until me and fiancé move into together and starting doing the same :)

I love IKEA!! Love the Chicago ornament, glad you two had a great time there!
ReplyDeleteLaurie - if you ever get chance to see them, they are well worth it. I mean even as a not really a big fan - there was songs I didn't know but it was so so good. Worth seeing for sure.
ReplyDeleteWe just have the bookcase left to construct with regards to the IKEA lark, making our flat really homely though.
Nadin - Chicago was amazing, I want to move there!
