ain't no Couch Potato.

I had an incredible evening with Mr. Ford tonight. This morning he found a set of couches on KSL, a love seat and sofa for a great price. The couch hunt has been on for a while now as we were originally looking for a sectional but with the space in our new place we had to be a little flexible. Kevin drove up to Taylorsville to check them out and they looked great so he bought them. I picked up Grandma & Grandpa Goold's truck after work and waited at home for the Mr. to get home so we could pick our new couches!
While I waited, however I made a trip to the Post Office in hopes that my package would be there, IT WAS! 
I ordered my Nie Nie 2011 Calendar last week and have been anxiously waiting for it. For those who don't know what Nie Nie is please visit: http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/ Stephanie Nielson is one of my personal hero's. She is an incredible women with an inspirational story. I admire her very much. So I ordered the calendar that she put together and am so in love with it. 
When Kevin got off work we drove up to Taylorsville to pick up our couches! They are great. Perfect for what we are looking for. It took a little faith on Kevin's part to be patient with me as I helped him lift the two couches onto the truck. We (mostly me as it was my responsibility to gather tools for moving furniture) tied down the couches with the yarn type string we had. That lasted maybe 2 minutes down the 1-15 before I told Kevin the love seat was getting air! We pulled into a Shopko and got some real rope. Kevin then showed off his awesome Eagle Scout skills with some fancy knots that held the couches down. This time very securely.

We made it home where Carly helped us get both couches into the house. 
They look beautiful in our home. Our living room is almost complete! 
I can't wait to get some pictures put up on the walls and some colorful pillows for the couches! Having a home to decorate is so fun. I can feel the wifey/motherly/homemaker coming out in me! I love it <3 

Until Next time Bloggers.
