thank god for craigslist

...we have been uber busy yet again this past week...the condo passed the inspection with flying colors for the most part...a couple minor things, and the only major thing is that the furnace and A/C are old...they work fine, though, so we'll leave them for now...if we have to replace them down the line, we'll do them at the same time and get a combo deal...it was nice to get another good look at the place...it was even better than we had originally thought!

...now we are busy looking at interior design books and perusing the furniture section of craigslist...we've seen some really great deals, and even picked up a large wooden storage bench in perfect condition for $50 a couple days ago! we plan on furnishing our entire place via craigslist, and i think we'll get some really cool stuff along the way...

...autumn weather hit chicago full force this week...cadence and i have been dealing with colds this past week and a half, and the snot-o-meter is pretty high around here...we were supposed to go applepicking with jenn and john and ada grey tomorrow, but due to the forecasted wet and cold, we'll be staying home trying to keep our noses clean...

...speaking of jenn and john and ada grey, our condo will be a mere 4 or 5 blocks from them, so cadence will get to play with ada more often! i think i still want to bring her to the fun-damentals playgroup in lincoln square every other week or so...it'll be a nice excuse to come down to what will soon be our 'old' neighborhood...
