Hand me down!!!!

Of course when you are a newlyweds you will take any furniture you can get. However, we got VERY lucky with our "hand-me-downs" We got a coffee table and end tables that were like new! We got book shelves, a computer desk, three dressers, a bed and headboard, an entire living room set, and a very nice dining room table. We have been very grateful for everything! If you were to look at the items in our house you would have no idea they were hand me downs! Recently we got a new hand me down from my Grandpa it was an AWESOME queen size bed with head board and nightstand. I love it, and it is SO comfortable! We got an amazing deal on that one! Even though we LOVE our Hand me downs, there are times for upgrades. Pictured here is my adorable husband on one of our hand me downs. This was actually our first hand me down! My Grandpa gave us this couch that we put a slip cover on before we got married. It has lasted 3 years and has worked out great! It is cute, but like I said we could use an upgrade.

What is a better upgrade, than another hand me down? As you can see my adorable husband can enjoy this one much more! This is the exact couch I would have picked out in the store. Lucky for me, my sisters house became a store! She got a couch from my grandpa so we bought hers! A thank you goes out to My Grandpa B, Christian's parent's, and My Grandma Bradford for thier Christmas Gifts. This couch is from them! It is a microfiber couch in the perfect tan color to match our living room and both ends recline as Christian is portraying. I have been wanting a new couch for awhile and we bought this one for half as much as the ones we were looking at and it is WAY better quality! I LOVE it! Jamie and Jon delivered it today and I couldn't have been more excited about it! Thanks again guys! You Rock! Your couch is home again!

So, on top of having an excellent day from getting our couch, we got to spend time with Jamie, Jon, Morgan, and Owen. Jon and Christian moved our old couch downstairs, and our new Awesome one inside. After they were done we all went to lunch at Panda Express! It was great to see them again and spend a little bit of time with them! Later that day I went to the Rod Works clearance center. My plan for the rest of my birthday money is to decorate our bedroom! I'm quite excited! I might even paint it! So, I bought a couple of things that you won't be able to see until I have completed my room. So, in a future blog you will see the final product! Get excited!!! I am!

After Rod Works I went to a Girl's dinner!!! I LOVE days off! Meghann, Christina, and I met up at the new Olive Garden in American Fork for a Girl's night! I LOVE girl's nights! and I LOVE Olive Garden! Christina worked with us during the Holidays, but doesn't anymore and we missed her so we decided we HAD to meet up. It was so great to catch up with her! We had a great time! However we were all stuffed by the time we were done!

So, Listen up girls! We decided we are definitely having a girl's night once a month. The third Wednesday of every month we will be getting together! We will go to dinner, movies, go to each other's houses, make cards, watch chick flicks, whatever we wanna do! and EVERY GIRL is invited! We will be moving them around from Salt Lake, Bountiful, Springville, Eagle Mountain, Riverton, wherever! The next one will be February 19th so I hope you can all make it! I will give you more details when it gets closer. Even if you have never come to a girl's night before, come join! Even if you only know one or two of the girls, come join! What better way to meet more friends! I'm pretty excited about this! Great idea Meghann!!!

See you girl's soon!!!
