Our $8 entertainment center!

After getting Mark's Christmas present back to our apartment we realized that we would need a new entertainment center to fit it. Since we are living on a student budget we had to get creative...

This is our old entertainment center.


This is the entertainment center in the midst of modification. Right before this picture was taken we were starting to wonder what we were thinking since we had been using a hand saw. Then we borrowed an electric saw from a friend, and it saved us...well Mark actually. (Hint: It's best to use an electric saw outside or in a garage, not in the LIVING ROOM, due to the thick layer of saw dust that will surely cover everything in sight.)


And this is the finished product!

It looks like you guys had a great Christmas and you have a very ingenious husband to create something new out of something old. My boys were very afraid of Santa this year too, they also have a thing about facial hair.

Which part are you reading right now? The beginning is good but then it gets really boring I thought, but a lot of people actually liked the last book.
Yeah, Krystal moved out to OK, her husband graduated sooner and they are not getting ready to go to Law School!!
