Ode to Craigslist!

Ode to Craigslist, We love Craigslist! Craigslist is the best-est ever!

So, saving up signing bonuses, graduation gifts, birthday gifts and our returned deposits we have been shopping--on Craigslist!! For those of you who don't know about it, it's the best thing ever! It's not so hot in Utah, where the Church becomes it's own type-of Craigslist, but outside of Utah is awesome! It's a free online classifieds website where people post things they want to get rid of and where you can search for things you want! I would estimate that we have saved ourselves, if we had purchased everything new, probably 2000ish$ buying things off of Craigslist instead of from a store or dealer! Here's the run-down of some of our great finds!

Mike got money from his family for graduation for a piano--check out the beautiful one that we found! It's hardly been played and sounds so great in our big, bare, empty room! :)



Mike also got money for a BBQ from Katelyn and I for graduation. This grill runs 4-500+ bucks in the store--we got way more for our money then could get getting this grill through Craigslist. (And it came with the cool rotisserie attachment! There goes my grand birthday present plan! :)



Our truck is great!! It looks just like my Dad's truck--with the addition of power steering. The perfect beater truck that we wanted--and now we can start hauling stuff and helping others--we even told the EQP today in church that we've got a truck and are so willing to help and give back a bit of the help people have given us!


We got some great lawn equipment--a great mower and weed-eater! Yeah for doing yard work in the hot, hot, Texas sun!


And a great little filing cabinet--perfect for our scary and totally disorganized office!

We've also gotten a cheap lamp and an ugly looking pack-n-play...functional, but totally not worthy of a picture!

So--we'll end with our song once more...(sung to the tune of Ode to Joy!)
