Splurge Buy!

I don't recommend this on a regular basis, but it was fun! After church today, we went out to eat at a little Mexican restaurant in downtown with our friends P & L and baby A. They told us about a furniture store that was going out of business, so we dropped by on our way home. Then, we bought a couch and a loveseat! Totally unexpected, but we just couldn't pass it up! Our many friends will agree with us in saying that our lovely flowered couch that I bought 13 years ago has seen its better days. Our family members who have had to sleep on the old couch are probably singing songs of praise right now. Now, when you visit us, you will be sitting on this lovely deep brown microfiber (fabric that is kid-proof and pet proof!) couch with recliners at both ends and we also have the matching loveseat with two recliners. Four people can recline at one time! How fun is that? Superman and Princess think it is cool! Princess also asked why I was trying to get rid of all the flowers in the house, and Superman actually cried because I was getting rid of more flowers which he insists that he loves, but they will both get over it. The best news is that we were able to write a check for the amount of the couch, and it is out-and-out ours. We got rid of all credit cards more than three years ago and have only used credit to purchase the car since then. It is quite freeing to not be tied down to anybody, or to owe a ton of money. We just don't buy things that we don't have the money for. Sounds simple and easy, but it isn't. However, it is worth it! Anyhow, if you need some furniture at a great price, visit the store downtown that is going out of business. You can't miss their huge yellow signs. And, come by and see us soon to try out the new couches!
