The Best News I Have Heard in a Long Time

Wednesday, October 31, 2012

If you can remember a few weeks ago when my in-laws were in town, Hubby and I bought our first piece of furniture together as a married couple. Now I finally have a chance to show you our bed.


Let me just tell you how much I love this. I have been looking for quite some time now for an upholstered grey platform bed. But I have a hard time going to the store to purchase a bed that is over $1,000. I'd rather put the money towards a good quality mattress. 

Once I found this beauty from Cost Plus World Market I dragged Hubby to the store to look at it.

We both agreed that it was something we wanted and went to purchase it. Well, it was on back order.
I was heartbroken but they put our name on a rain check and said they would call when it was back in stock. Four weeks later, I thought maybe they forgot about us or that the 'rain check' was fake.

They said they still did not have the bed in stock that it would be around 6 more weeks.
We waited and waited. 

Hubby then tells me, while his parents are in town, "Oh, hey. World Plus called and said the bed was in." Hallelujah. That was the best thing I had heard in a while. I asked him when they called and he said, "I don't know. A few days ago? I was really busy!"

That is when my balloon deflated. I did not know if they were going to hold it for us or not. 
The next day we went in there and bought out beauty.


We pulled our Jeep around back to pickup our piece and... The box was too big!!

There just so happens to be a Lowes in the parking lot and we went to rent one of their trucks.
Come to find out, they don't rent out trucks any longer. So we bought some rope and whatever else Hubby said would hold that thing on the car, drove back over to pickup our bed and the 
employee says, "Why don't you just take it out of the box?" Wow, genius idea. 
Why had we not thought of it earlier?


Now we have our bed and we love it. All that is left is to purchase a low profile box 
spring because we can not get used to sleeping without one. 
We ended up putting the box spring back on for extra comfort.

We Are Michiganders

Tuesday, October 16, 2012

Hi friends! I feel like I have not spoke to any of you in such a long time.
Even though it has only been a week.

I thought it would be fun if I recapped my last week as just a brief post. And then in a few days I can elaborate more on a few particular items. This is how last week went while my in-laws were in town.

We spent one day in San Francisco. The weather was gloomy and cold but we are Michiganders!


Hubby and I have been dying to go to Alcatraz but just never made it out way there or the tickets were sold out. Since my in-laws were in town, it was a great excuse to buy tickets in advance. 
We were not disappointed one bit.


 We ate out a lot and had really fantastic food. 

Hubbies parents took us out to celebrate our anniversary and we were presented with this.

We found ourselves in Stockton one day and it is a ritual to stop by my favorite Sushi Bar.

We also did a little bit of shopping. Hubby and I have been waiting on this 
bed for over 3 months. It is our first furniture purchase as a married couple. 
Plus, his parents were nice enough to help us put it together.

How was your week?
