New Stuff

We were very productive yesterday. Laura found a brand new sleigh bed on Craigslist for just $350. The seller lived just off the Carney exit from I-695, so it was literally a three minute drive to check it out and pick it up. The lady selling the bed was very nice and it was definitely brand new. It had never been set up and the rails were still the box! It sells on JC Penney's website for $499, so we got a great deal. It looks like this:We didn't take any pictures of it set up in the bedroom yet, but maybe later we will. Its especially nice if you consider that I've been sleeping on just a mattress and box-spring on the floor for over two years! I'd like to thank Brittany for helping me pick up the bed frame and also helping me set it up.

Laura also took advantage of some of the many Bed,Bath, & Beyond gift cards she received at her bridal shower by purchasing a much needed book shelf for our living room. Mackinzie helped me assemble it.

The next big purchase is gonna have to be a big flat-screen television for the bedroom now. With the new sleigh bed, we can only see the top 2/3rds of the television screen and accessing the remote sensor for the TiVo isn't an easy task. .... yep, a wall-mounted flat-screen tv would be a great wedding gift to receive..... -haha!
