We are ridiculous people...

So...Tyler and I have made this realization many times since we've been married, but events of yesterday made it obviously clear, we are ridiculous people. Here's what happened, but first I have to give a little background info. When we got married and moved into our apartment my parents gave us a loveseat that they weren't using anymore. My mom had it in the Music Room in their house when she taught piano so her students had a place to sit and wait. Well she hasn't taught piano at since I graduated from high school. Anyway we have this loveseat...which is fine if you're just sitting doing nothing. It is not well equipped for laying down, cuddling, haveing people over, etc. We've delt with it for the 9 months (almost) that we've been married because it was free and we were too poor to get something new. Well...we got our tax return back have some extra money so we went couch shopping. We weren't really looking for anything too fancy or big, just bigger than a love seat. We went to Downeast because I knew that had furniture and we found one we liked but it was a lighter color and we were a little worried about it getting dirty. So we went across the street to the Fisher Outlet. Then we found it...the perfect couch. We went home really fast and measured to make sure it would fit...and...it does!!! Barely...there's a chase on one end (it's kind of like a sectional but not...) and there's about a foot and a half gap between it and the TV stand. It's going to take up our entire living room (thus making us ridiculous people) but we both loved it so much that we couldn't say no to it. It's so much better than what we have now and it was such a good deal (Fisher's having their President's Day Sale) that we said "Why not?" plus we're hoping to move somewhere closer to campus over the summer and maybe wherever we go might have a bigger living room. We decided our apt is oddly shaped...it's very narrow. Anyway, we've been telling each other "We bought a new couch!" ever since we got home last night. We're both very excited about it. Fisher couldn't deliver it until Saturday so we don't quite have it yet but I will for sure post some pictures of our exciting new purchase so you can see just how awesome it is!
