Ken, I'm spending your money!!!

I started buying beds and things for the new house this past weekend. I started on Friday buying 1 queen size mattress along with two full mattress. I got a geat price on the mattresses (Sertas) and will be going back to that store in a couple weeks to buy a queen size mattress for the third bedroom. On Saturday Ken, his buddy Gary and I went to the Room Store. I bought 3 beautiful beds to go along with the mattresses. I also bought a stand for the TV, a corner shelf and a baker's rack. They had the TV stand there at the store, but Ken and Gary had to go to the warehouse to pick up the corner shelf and beds and then take them out to the house. It was an all day affair. I did not realize that spending Ken's money would be so tiring. :-) The baker's rack will be here in another week or so, but they are sending it to the store so we won't have to go back to the warehouse for it. I had a great sales person, so if you are looking for furniture (and you live in Houston) go to the Room Store in the Woodlands (not Rooms to Go) and ask for John. I still need to get the living room furniture and will be looking for that this weekend when they have all the 4th of July sales. Sunday my brother and his wife came to see the house for the first time. They live about 2 hours away, also in the country. I guess in our "old age" we just enjoy the slower country pace. :-) Ken and I gave them the tour and then put them to work. Hey, what else are relatives for? VBG Ken and Jimmy got the beds put together and Kathy and I made them up. Kathy and I made more than a few trips out to my van unloading bedding, pillows and two end tables. Ken and Jimmy also set up the TV stand, TV and the corner shelves. There is no way we could have gotten all that stuff done with just the two of us, so Thank you Jimmy and Kathy!!! By the way don't you want to come back out this weekend??? ;-) After we finished at the house, we took them over to Olive Garden and treated them to a great lunch. It really is a shame that Mom and Dad were not down for the weekend. Mom loves Olive Garden and so we thought about her with every mouthwatering bite we took! I know, I know, I am evil. Below, I have posted a few pictures of what we did on Sunday. Today I am back at work until the 30th and then I am on Vacation for a solid month. I cannot wait until Wednesday, I will be spending a lot of time packing and moving boxes to the new house. As I have said in previous posts, I can't wait unitl we are living there full time.


The new queen size bed with the new end tables. I still need to get two lamps for the tables and a mid size chest of drawers for clothes.

These are the two full size beds. I still need six pillows (4 for each bed) along with two end tables (I am not that fond of "nightstands"), and lamps.

This is Jimmy and his wife Kathy in the family room. Notice who has the drill. :-)
