So this weekend Cory had some time off and we needed baby furniture. We were given a crib by someone in the ward, which was so generous and nice of them, but we didn't have any place to put baby's clothes and all the necessities for him. We also needed an organization method for our office/front room. We had previously looked at the furniture store here on post, but it was expensive and not what either one of us had in mind, so the solution? IKEA!
We're pretty much fans of IKEA, you in Utah will Love, Love, Love yours i
n Draper. You can get everything, and we mean everything there. Our closest IKEA is an hour an a half drive in Regensburg. We had planned that if the weather stayed nice, we were also going to go to the city center and enjoy some of the sites. We also used this as the first opportunity to take our new best friend TomTom out for a drive. Cory bought him while he was in MO for ANCOC. TomTom is a great navigator and told us exactly how to get to IKEA. He's such a great friend to have in the car. We haven't named him yet, mostly because we haven't found a name that fits. But when we do, we can yell at him when he takes us down crazy roads that are dirt or not paved (which he tried to do).

It was surprisingly good and there was no smoking, so we could eat our meal without wanting to gag. We found a great dresser that we might be able to double as a changing table when our bean is little. We also found a great rug for the floor for 12 euro. We got a few ideas for organizing our office too and we'll be planning another trip down there to pick the rest of it up later.
In other news, I was called to be the Primary Secretary, a welcome change from teaching 9 4-year olds. It will be a good calling to have when the baby comes.
