Sharon and I have now begun what people refer to as nesting. We have begun filling our new little home with “stuff”. The very “stuff” we lost over 3 years ago. And what better and economical way to do it than to by buying “gently-used” stuff. After all it is a way or recycling instead of filling land fills more.

It has been a really nice way of spending quality time together for the family. We got into the routine of me waking up every saturday morning early and mapping out our attack route for the sales, usually in East Hill of Pensacola, sometimes Gulf Breeze. We then head out in search of treasures with the puggles coming along for the ride because after we are finished searching for stuff we go to the dog park to let them run around and get energy out so we can go out to the beach without worrying that they will get into something.

In the course of our bargain hunting, we have gotten a crib, rug, lamps, books, coolers, chairs, vases, glasses, curtains, and best of all for me…tools!

I have gotten the best deals on a sander, a saw, a weed eater, hedge clippers and more. Thanks to these tools my yard is looking great and I have been able to build some nice furniture. But we are not done yet, I am sure there are lots of stuff out there we need, just dont know it yet :)
