the dresser becomes a Ford.

I am so excited to be blogging tonight about the newest member of the Kevin & Kyla Ford family. 
.Our Dresser.
Its so beautiful and matches our bed frame PERFECTLY. Honestly, it's like the two were built from the same tree and separated at birth! Its incredible! 
 So the story began today when Kevin sent me a google chat to check out a dresser he found on KSL. I checked it out and said that I really liked it :)
Apparently I missed the beginning of the message that said If I really liked it to go check it out and if I liked it once I saw it to buy it. I missed that part completely! 
So this evening when Kevin came over for dinner he asked me if I had looked at the link and I said yes I had and that I really liked the dresser. He asked if I went and looked at it. (This is where we misunderstood each other). A little frustrated about my reading skills(the lack thereof), we felt sad that we may have missed a great deal on the dresser we wanted.
Luckily though, the women selling the dresser texted us back when we sent her a text and she said it hadn't been sold but she said she had lots of people interested. We told her we'd be over with CASH and would take it tonight if we liked it.
Now, with both the apartment and the dining room table, I feel immediately in love and had to try not to show it in front of the sellers in case it didn't work out, you know: poker face!
Well, same thing tonight with the dresser! As soon as I saw it and knew it was the PERFECT match (same color cherry wood) to the bed frame I literally almost screamed: "we'll take it". 
Of course I kept my cool, nodded and smiled at Kevin and said, "I like it, I think it matches well". 

We got it loaded into the back of the car and brought it home :) 
Luckily Kyle and Carly were still awake, so Kyle helped Kevin move the dresser into the bedroom (its pretty heavy).
Its so great in the room. It looks amazing and gives us the extra space (which we NEED). 
I feel so  lucky that Kevin spoils me  and finds all these great deals on KSL to make our little house a home. It's all so lovely and really completes the feel of "our first home".

Tonight was great. The bedroom is almost complete. Maybe a few pictures and a clock to hang and it will be done! 
Kevin being silly.



We are so excited.. Can't You tell?

PS. I think this night turned out so great because I made Chicken Roll-ups for dinner. A Ford Family recipe that I have loved making because it tastes so yummy. I love having my own kitchen and being able to cook dinner for Kevin and I. So fun.
Goodnight Readers.
