Garage Sale

Today Jerry and I had a garage sale. Last night around 10:30 we put up lots of signs around the neighborhood. Oh yes, we went all out! We even put an ad on Craig's list. We sold 2 dresser (one that Rowdy chewed up), one table, head board/ foot board, clothes, purses, vases, and the list goes on and on. I kind of started to panic a little when Jerry put $1 on my Nicole Miller paintings, but Jerry had to keep reminding me that either way it's going to go to Mission Arlington. I'm so glad we sold all that stuff. This was a good "marriage" experience for Jerry and I. Jerry and I took turns on freaking out about selling different things. It's funny where we had our attachments. I didn't want to sell any of my college room stuff and Jerry didn't want to sell random sorority and fraternity shirts. Hmmm, you could say we can't let go of that part of our lives. Overall, it was really fun experience. We made...drum roll please....$116. That's not bad, considering we were going to donate it all. So hooray for garage sales.

Oh yes, we did see some random things too. One couple pulled up in an Cadillac Escalade. Which I thought was incredibly ironic...but hey if you can save a buck...save a buck! We also met the neighborhood gossip. She filled us in on all the dirt in the neighborhood, including the crazy neighborhood watch lady. Yes, it's true, our friendly neighborhood watch lady has a camera on her porch... Weird.

We had a good time and today is actually our 2 week anniversary. Cheers!
