Mitch and I have talked about shopping for new couches or sectional {our current ones are wonderful, comfy and over sized for the space}. So for Friday night date night, we went browsing for couches. I don't know about you, but we were a bit surprised at how much couches cost!! {thank you mom and dad Dayley for your old couches! We love them!} We found a set that we liked but debated about the price tag. I know we wouldn't regret spending money for couches, because we really want a functioning living room. {Naked rooms arent our thing}. But that was a lot of money. So we decided to think about it for a bit and headed over to Ikea to browse TV stands. While there we decided we'd see if we could make our current couches work. Why not, right?! It would save us some big dollars! Once home, we brought the other couch upstairs and we quickly realized {I was right} they were a bit too big to fit. Hmm. It quickly turned into a mathematical challenge with couches. I was determined to find an arrangement that worked. After rearranging a few times we finally figured it out. SWEET !! Our bank account is thanking us today.
Next on the list was something to put our TV on. I refused to use the one in the family room. Mitch thinks its great... I really truly highly dislike it. I think it's beyond ugly. So I offered to let us use my cedar chest until we could figure out what we wanted. But the problem there was there wasn't a place to neatly tuck the DVR, DVD player, sound system and gaming systems. It was 9pm and we headed to Wally world to see of we could find a nice TV stand {preferably one we could tuck all the boxes mentioned above in}. 30 mins later we finally agreed on one {my preference of course ;) thanks baby} and headed home. Once we get out to our car, I stood with the cart waiting for Mitch to lay the seats down.
Mitch: {one, two....} Umm honey do you remember how to lay the middle seat down?!
Me: You forgot!?! Can I take a picture?? {I couldn't hold the laughter back.}
Mitch: it's like it's flipping me off. This is so frustrating.
Me: {more laughter}
He finally figured it out :) and we made it home. But we didn't stop there... We figured we'd put it together. Holy moly was that a brilliant idea. {not} 11 pm rolls around and Mitch decided he'd finish it off in the morning. It was way past my bed time and I was ready for bed back around 7pm. A quick shower, some snuggs and a kiss good night...
Best part... we managed to figure out half of our Christmas wish. Now for the decorating ;)
