New furniture yeay!

Thank heavens for pell grants and medicaid!......They allow poor people like us to reproduce and add our infallible genetics to society.  And!  Finally purchase a bedframe.  Yes, after two years of marriage, Nick and I decided it was time to stop sleeping on a mattress on the floor.  Our first experience was with RC Willey.  Now, don't get me wrong, they have proven wonderful in the past and have helped me establish credit.  But!  Unfortunately, the sleigh bed that looked dazzling on the showroom floor was kinda dim and defective halfway set up in our bedroom.  So, my dear husband promptly took it back, and I slumped into a depression.  Still, I was determined.  Sadly, once I get something in my head, nothing seems to satisfy me until that thing is taken care of.  So, relying on the advise of my brilliant boss Angie, I looked up Knight's furniture and saw they were having a clearance sale.  Nick was wise enough to call and ask them to stay open an extra fifteen minutes so we could go take a look after I got off work.  And I tell you that sale's man made his commission with us!  It took us a whole hour to decided, especially since Nick had to shake and test every bedframe's integrity that we checked out.  We ended up with a steal though, spending less than we did at RC Willey for a much prettier frame that I am completely satisfied with.  Rock on my husband, you have great taste!


Another thing my wonderful husband surprised me with was a glider rocking chair.  I'd always wanted one since I was a kid, and now with the impending addition to our family, he thought it would be the perfect time.  Again, we first looked at RC Willey.  Unfortunately, they wanted to charge us $500 for a chair and ottoman!  How rude!!  Not to mention, they didn't have anything in a suitable color.  So, we skipped next door to Babies R Us and found the perfect set for $200 less.  The color reminded me of baby barf at first, but then it dawned on my what a smart purchase that would be.  "Ok Nick, you have to try it out as well.  You're going to be sitting in it just as much as me!"  Gliders, what a marvelous invention.  I could sit in that chair all day!  Good thing too, because I bet I will be with my little Tristan.




Then my sister Becky did a bad thing and told us Kohl's was having a sale.  Ok, so it's not furniture, but still a brilliant use of baby grant money.  She told us we should go stock up on winter baby clothes.  It was a great idea, and Nick and I kinda ran wild with it.  Everything was just so darn cute!  And when we got to the register, and I was chewing my nails waiting for the final cost, I was shocked to see we actually saved more than we spent! Unbelievable, we would have spent over $400 dollars on Tristan clothes, but we only spent about $150.....man I love Kohl's!  Now I just can't wait to play dress up with my little baby doll.
