1. We found someone to rent our apartment in Provo! YAY! I'm so happy about this because now we don't have to think about it. Our friends who are there now, move out at the end of this month and the new tenants move in starting July 1 and are signing a year contract. They said they'd probably stay until her husband was done with school though which is a little over 2 years. That would be nice!
2. We finished all of the floors (except the stairs) As you know from before, we did almost the whole floor except the hallway was struggling. Well we finished that completely today and what a relief that is! We also nailed all the baseboards back on and it looks great!

3. So Overstock has started a store for employees and friends and family, and they sell a lot of their items but for an amazing good deal! They have furniture, clothes, shoes, electronics, kitchenware, sheets, curtains, you name... It's part of their warehouse and they started doing this every other Saturday (today was their first). So while we were there we picked up a few things.
We got this beautiful accent chair ($45):
We got this new kitchen faucet (which Josh graciously installed, and we had a little accident as well because the water wasn't turned off all the way so water started spraying EVERYWHERE and Josh got soaked, lol) ($19):

And Josh also got a new book there for our trip ($3). We will definitely be going back!
4. Finally, my wonderful brother and sister in law gave Josh and me a house warming gift, which we put together and put in our family room. It matches our picture shelf thing that we have in the room too, so it's perfect! Thanks so much guys, we love it!!! It's a nice book/magazine holder. It goes so great in our place. And here are pictures of the before and afters of that:

Hey I found your blog through Facebook. Sorry that I never got back to you about your apartment. We decided to stay where we are, cause we don't plan on staying around too much longer, but thanks so much for the info! You are way too nice :) And, your floors are gorgeous! Those are the EXACT type of floors I want someday :) Yay for your new house!
