Mother's Day Gift

I really wanted a new camera, but I guess this is more needed. I finally have a complete bed! Let me break it down for you. When we got married, six years ago, my parents gave us a double pillow-top matress because they got a fancier one. (It is super comfy.) We just put it on the floor in our apartment. The next year, as we were moving into our other apartment, someone was moving out and didn't need their box spring, so we took it off their hands. And it wasn't until after we bought our house, two years ago, that we bought a frame for $30 and got our bed off of the floor. Now, we actually have a real bed set thanks to IKEA!!! I heart IKEA. We bought the comforter last year from there and added the pillows & stuff later. Now we just need that stimulus check to pay for the matching dresser since the one we are using us a free hand-me-down and doesn't match :)

I love your new set! I think you made the right decision to buy a new foot and head board. (even though I know how much you and I both want a new camera). p.s. I love IKEA too (even though I have never been there before!

I've been married 8 years and you are one step ahead of me! i still just have a bed frame, no cute headboard for me. :( Oh well I will live! Congrats on yours, it looks great! How did you get it from Ikea? Did it fit in your car to drive it from Salt Lake?

Hey! I hate that word verification thing! I always forget. I love your new bed and I love the comforter etc. I want to copy you! Ikea is the best! Cheap but it doesn't look cheap!
