Furniture and Family

My mom graciously gave us some money recently for some new furniture. We had a budget and did very well keeping all that we needed within that budget. We ended up getting a queen sleeper sofa, a loveseat (both with custom fabric), a coffee table, two end tables, and four throw pillows (also custom fabric). We're pretty proud of ourselves because we really did shop around and we ended up finding the best deal at the place that has the best quality! Yay! I will post some pictures when we receive our furniture. We purchased it on Memorial Day and we're supposed to get in 35 days or less, so we're hoping for less since my mom is coming to visit soon and she's going to need a place to sleep. :) We'd like to let her enjoy our purchase that she so graciously helped us get! Thanks again Mom! We really appreciate it!

What's nice about holiday time (I mean, summer holiday time, i.e. Memorial Day/4th of July/Labor Day) is that we get to spend time with family...and I get paid for it! FINALLY! The important part really is getting to spend time all together. Osceola (where Adam grew up...about 15 minutes away from us) has a Memorial Day parade every year, which is tradition for Adam's family to attend. We all got to go together, Adam's grandparents, parents, his brother, Geoff, and his girlfriend, and Adam, Noah, and I. We all loved it, especially Noah. We thought he might be scared by the firetrucks and sirens, but he just pointed and looked awed. It bodes well for future years which I'm sure will be full of parades, maybe even some he might be in someday!
