The second day Gma Nan was here I didn't have school so we headed out to do a few errands and shopping. She wanted to check out Nebraska Furniture Mart because it is one of the biggest furniture stores in the U.S. We went to the kids bedroom sets because I wanted to look at desks I had seen online. Roby and I agreed that getting Ethan a desk for his 10th birthday in February would be a great gift! (He's having a bit of a harder time concentrating at the kitchen table; he's getting more work as well as harder work.)
We looked at the desk I thought about getting, but seeing it in person changed my mind quickly! As we looked around I found one for a little more, but it was exactly what I had in mind. I got the product number so I could get it later, then headed over to the "clearance center" just to see what they had.
They had the desk I wanted sitting right there! And for 1/3 less! The only problem with it was that it has a few minor scratches on the top where someone had set something. Lets just say that I found the nearest person to help me and bought it right then!
When we brought it in the house, we were going to put it in the basement until his birthday...but after Roby reminded me about all the moisture down there we decided to give it to him in the morning. I think he's old enough to remember what a big present he got...even if it was a bit early. Maybe on his birthday he'll get a few organizational items to go along with it!

After all that...here is Ethan's 10th birthday present!!!
Natalie was very excited too! She got to see it before him so she could take a video of him with my small camera (but she didn't press the button all the way lol).

I really like the desk and cant wait to see how it looks in his room with him at it doing homework. How exciting! Does he already have a chair?
