This weekend was fun.  Sarah and I went to New Jersey to visit my grandparents on Friday.  My grandfather had to be hospitalized the day before our wedding and wasn't able to attend, so we took him out to dinner and brought him some wedding cake and photos.

On Saturday, my parents and I took a trip to the IKEA in Elizabeth, New Jersey to find ourselves some furniture...  Well... some is somewhat of an understatement.  We ended up getting a really nice dining room table, a buffet, some bookshelves, and a really nice new desk for Sarah's office, and it all came out pretty cheap.  We meant to also get dining room chairs, but the ones we wanted were out of stock... to be delivered today.  What luck...  But Dan said he'd go back down today to see if he could get them.

We loaded up all of the stuff into his trailer and hauled it back to Rockaway.  Only about a third of what we got actually fit into my Civic (no big surprise there), but I'm making several other trips down in the next few weeks, so hopefully I'll be able to cart it all back up.

I keep forgetting how awesome IKEA is.  Ignoring their super-modern designs (or their designs that look like they came straight out of the 60s), their stuff looks pretty nice, and it's relatively cheap, especially considering the quality.  We spent a lot less than I would have expected, and got some really nice stuff.

Now to finish renovating so we can actually use the furniture.  And by "finish", I actually mean we have a lot of work to do still.
