It's about time

It's been a while since the last blog. A few new things have happened since then. We decided to go ahead and buy a new bed with mattress and boxsprings and all. I had tried to get a headboard at Craigs list, but to no avail. So we went to Sears and after some time looking and trying out different mattresses, we finally decided on the right one. We figured on getting the new mattress for us, and the new bed for company, putting our mattress on the new bed. So, we wanted a queen size mattress and box springs, but a full size bed for the spare room, since that's the size of our current bed. We told the salesman what we wanted and found out 20 minutes later that they didn't carry the bed we wanted in a full size, even though the tag on the bed said it did. After some frustrating deliberation, we decided on buying the mattress and boxspring anyway since it was on sale 50% off.

On our way home we saw a Furniture Fair store, so we decided to stop in and see what we could find. They were actually have a big sale at the time and we were able to find a bed similar to the one at Sears. So, we went ahead and bought it. The interesting part is after a couple of days I started thinking about the queen size box spring, and wondering if it would fit up the stairs to our bedroom. Well, after talking to Katie I decided to call Sears and try to change our order to a split box spring. The salesman thought I was overreacting, and assured me it would fit up the stairs. Needless to say when it arrived the delivery men tried with all their might and, as I (and Katie) thought it wouldn't go. So, our only recourse was to call Sears and have them put in an order for split box spring and when they deliver them, they will take back the original one they delivered last week.

So far, not a great experience, I will let you know how it all goes and when everything is set, I will include some pics of the house as we have it now.

In the mean time, I am including a few new pictures of Casey. I am also including a picture of the front of the house with the new yellow ribbon on the light post. I had one when Matt went to Iraq the last time, but I never thought I was going to have to put one out again. He is out of the country at this time, and we don't know when he will exactly be in Iraq, but it goes without saying we are praying for his safe travel and for the time he is serving there.
