Salt Lake City, Ikea...


A couple of weeks ago, we took a trip to Ikea in Salt Lake City, Utah!  I was especially excited because it’s not only a new State and city I’ve never visited, it was also my first trip to Ikea.  We had been saving for this trip so that we could get some furniture and household items.  Nat, Shan and the kids hauled a trailer for their things and we were able to fit everything in our own car!  We were so thankful to be able to stay at Shannon’s uncle and aunt’s home a couple of hours outside of Salt Lake.  They were very generous to allow all 7 of us to invade their space for a weekend! 

If you’ve never been to an Ikea, it’s an experience in itself.  It’s fun and stressful all at the same time!  Thankfully I was prepared for the day with nothing else on my mind, but as soon as we arrived and saw so many more things than we found on the website, it was really pointless to have a shopping list to begin with.  We basically went with a budget and got what we could within that.  

Overall, we had beautiful weather, safe traveling, and a fun time away from home.  We are extremely thankful that our home is coming together, and we are enjoying opening it up to friends that we love having over.
