So a lot has gone down in the last few weeks. Actually scratch that. A lot has gone down in the year since I last posted. Time sure does fly. I really need to write a year in review….it will be good!
Sooo….I graduated nursing school last week, it happened, it really really happened. The past two years have been brutal and right up until graduation day I was waking up in the middle of the night from night horrors that I had done something to fail nursing school, something ridiculous, like wearing socks that didn’t cover my ankles. Hey, I wouldn’t have been surprised!
Anyhoo, Allen and I are moving out together in less than a month! Let me re-phrase that, the renters that are currently living in our soon to be home are moving out in less than a month so we can finally get in there and get to work. It’s going to be gross. But with our fingers crossed, donning our hazmat suits with sledge hammers in hand we are hoping to be in by mid-July.eek!
So I have a little eye candy to share this morning before I push play on my study videos and the full fledged state board studying commences. I can’t get a job until I pass state boards and get a nursing license so I’m going to jump on that!
Onto the real reason for this post. I called Allen on Monday and asked him if he would want to meet me at a local furniture store to look at potential living room furniture. I had stopped in this same store a few months back and there was a sofa there that caught my eye. So on his lunch break Allen met me and we browsed around, we were just looking! I showed him the sofa that I liked and he really liked it too. He laid on it and held the invisible remote while he watched his invisible 96” LCD TV, you know he really tried to get the feel of it.
It was comfy, it was our style. It would be perfect in our future living room and the price wasn’t horrible. We were just getting ready to head for the door when the salesman came by to give us his card and told us that the entire store was 20% off and the sale ended today. He also told us that 20% is the highest discount the store offers unless a piece goes on clearance. So that made us think. The sofa would be $100 off and the sofa and loveseat together would cost less than my mom paid for her sofa alone. We thought about it but didn’t want to make a fast decision that we may later regret. Allen went back to work and I looked around at a few more furniture stores in town and found nothing that was comparable. So Allen got off work and we did it! That sounded bad. We bought the sofa and the loveseat! And we are so excited to put them in our house that other people are still living in and we won’t get to lay eyes on it until June! Ahhhhh!
So behold.
Meet our new sofa and loveseat!
And I am really loving this rug. And I need to talk Allen into buying it.
Doesn’t this guy look good against those dark floors. Imagine it paired with the ivory sofa and loveseat, maybe a large ottoman or coffee table and some light grey on the walls with pops of color for the accent. In love.
I know I am going to be hoarding throw pillows so I can change them out whenever the mood strikes. And I just love throw pillows, so now I have and excuse to buy lots of them.
I can’t wait to see this living room come together. It looks really good in my head!
For the Credits:
The Sofa and Loveseat are from here, and comes in more colors. We got ivory.
And the rug I’m loving is from here. And it’s on sale, and did I mention that I want it? It comes it lots of different colors too.
I have successfully procrastinated long enough. I’m going to study while dreaming about our living room. And that rug.
