AHHHH A NEW BED

You never really realize how bad your bed is until you get a new one. We decided this year with part of our tax return to get ourselves a new bed. Our old one was a queen and since Kim spends most nights with us in our bed we needed more room. A KING it was decided that we would get. A nice firm one with a pillow-top for comfort. I'm not kidding when I tell you that the two of us could sleep quite comfortable on the floor with just a foam pad to cushion us. So we went to Spokane 2 weekends ago to buy a new bed. Northwest Bedding.....the best prices because they are the factory. At least that's what they say. We did get a good price on a new mattress set and they included a free frame and free delivery. That delivery part was great since it's 80 miles from their store to my house.

They were supposed to deliver last week but with all the snow we've been getting they couldn't make it. The roads were just to bad to risk. So they finally got here with it on yesterday. They were really trying to hurry and get caught up on everything that they were behind on from last week so we had to set it up ourselves. That's OK I guess. Not like it's rocket science really.

So we get home from work and get to work on it. Finally get it all together and made. I splurged a bit this time with new bedding. I decided that I wasn't buying sheets based on their price this time. I went for thread count. 450 count. They are so soft.

Larry, of course, went to bed way before Kim and I. He quickly fell asleep himself. Then when Kim and I finally came to bed. We snuggled in. First think she said was "look momma we are squishing each other". I turned the TV off and in just minutes we were both asleep. She hasn't moved since. And if it wasn't for the alarm and having to go to work I wouldn't have gotten up myself.

We still need to get a new headboard but at this point it wasn't on the priority list. That can wait till I find the one that I love. Next on the list though is new pillows.
