Feeling totally enriched

This past Thursday night was our ward's Relief Society Enrichment Night. The owner of Elite Time Management came and spoke to us about getting organized. After enrichment I felt, well, enriched! So Saturday I thought I would get our office organized. I started with the purchase of a filing cabinet (it's sad to admit in public like this that our previous filing cabinet was a draw from an old desk that didn't make one of our many moves). As I was organizing the office I decided that some rearranging was required to make the space more functional. As I was sliding our tall bookshelf across the floor the bottom half had had enough and crumpled under the pressure of moving, oh 5 feet! STUPID WALMART CRAP! Now what?!

I'll tell you what...IKEA! That's right Kevin and I had our first IKEA trip ever. All I can say is WHY has it taken me so long to go?! I mean come on, they keep my kids while I shop, plus the store is a.m.a.z.i.n.g. So we left out of there with one very cool bookshelf and a little stool for the kids bathroom. Very mature of us. The old us would have spent every last dollar we had in there :) Ok, maybe not every dollar, but we defiantly said no to a lot of things.

Without further ado, here is our new bookshelf:

I love it!

I just have to add that this amazing bookshelf replaced two very crappy ones and that makes me HAPPY!
