Craig's List

We made our first purchase off Craigslist- an entertainment center!!! Thanks to Mom Fitz's little entertainment center, we were able to be patient and wait for the right piece to be listed.

We wanted a tall entertainment center that would allow us to have space up high to display things- places where little people can't get to. So I went to the Upstate SC Craigslist and typed in "entertainment center" in the search box. When that page came up, I subscribed to its RSS feed using my bloglines. My bloglines notified me every time a new listing for an entertainment center was made.

So we found one that we loved and it happened to live just 10 minutes away from us so we bought it.

Jonathan & I both said we feel like grown ups since our last entertainment center was so college dormish. But the best part is that we paid less than half of what we had saved up for this piece. So I'm trying to convince J to move the rest of the money from our entertainment center fund straight into our Hawaii 2009 fund. :)

LOVE Craigslist. I check it everyday...just to see if there is anything I can't live without. It's a great place to sell things, too.

It was awesome when we lived in Nashville...so many things for sale compared to here.

Nice entertainment center...very grown up!

You know I did used to check that Craigslist but I never found anything that I needed.

I think craigslist is great too. Anything we didn't inherit for Nathan's room we bough from craigslist, and his room doesn't look hand-me-down at all. very classy. in a baby way, of course.

We have Hawaii 2013 plans - ten year anniversary!

I know Beth- I mean you guys lived for what 4 years? If we could have been there before you left- we totally would have. But I will still gladly use the wealth of information that you have in your head from living there!
