Day 130

Really tired tonight.  I have a bruise running from the back of my shoulder running all the way down my forearm.  It looks a little bit like horror movie makeup, so I guess I will be wearing only long sleeve shirts for a while longer. :-)  Well, on to today.

I spent most of the day with David today on a couch shopping adventure.  But before that, we had a couple of happy moment detours.  My dad called and told us to come visit him at work, and when we got there he gave us a very large late Christmas present.  David looked around the sales area and found another item that was on clearance that we added to our little collection.  We are going to go down in the morning and pick them both up.  That was detour #1.

On our way back from my dad's work, my friend who is pregnant texted me and wanted to know if we could join her and her mother for lunch at our local favorite Mexican restaurant.  We had a great time talking, and I found out she is going in tomorrow to have her baby.  I am super excited about that!  I can't wait to have a little girl in the neighborhood with all our little boys.  It is going to be so fun!

So after our fun times with friends and family, we finally started couch shopping.  After many long hours of searching and sitting, we discovered that unless we want to spend a boatload of money on a couch, there is not one out there for us.  We are saving up for a car and some bedroom furniture right now, but I inherited my grandmother's bed.  Not even the savings we got from having a free bed comes close to a couch budget, so I am just going to have to figure out how to make my couches work in my little space and maybe put our bed money toward our car that we need next year.  So even though we didn't find a couch, we had a lot of happy moments spending time together.

Later on tonight, we all snuggled down on our couches and watched Lady and the Tramp for a bit.  Connor does not have the attention span that Joel did at that age, but it was nice to snuggle while it lasted.  Off to bed now we go, and hoping for a more pain-free day tomorrow.
