This weekend we went shopping for furniture. It's amazing how after a year in a house with a hodgepodge of belongings how you begin to covet the furniture of adults. We took the opportunity of a rainy Saturday (no long bike ride for Stefan and I) to drive to Ft. Collins to look for a bed frame, two nightstands, and to price a TV stand. We came home with a flat screen TV stand that swivels and a rekindled desire for a Wii. So much for the bed! Since our time in Nashville with Sam, we hadn't really stopped wanting one, though we convinced ourselves that we could do without one until after Christmas. A few weeks ago we went to the store to "price and check on Wii availability" and even though one was in stock, we refrained from purchasing. We were being good, responsible adults and saving the money so Eric could get his wisdom teeth pulled out next month. So on Saturday we thought it would be easy to find one-WRONG. Eric and I went to every store that carries the Wii with no luck. We were even tempted, for a brief moment, to drive to Denver to try to find one-but we soon came to our senses. We were very sad because our new TV stand had the perfect place for a Wii yet we were Wiiless.
Eric committed himself to walking to the game store across from his work everyday at lunch until we found one. So today, Monday, he trekked over and they had one! Yippeee a Wii!! Wii were SO happy!
We want everyone to know that there will be many evenings of Wii partying at our house now. We rearranged the basement to accommodate lots of people and of course, a lot of space for bowling, golfing, and soon to come, FIFA soccer. Here is Eric playing one of his favorite games, golf. He's actually pretty good and can beat me at computer sports.
We also had fun creating Mii's for our friends. Can you guess who these Mii's are? Please post and take your best guess.
