Last week I was told by my mom, who was told by my sister that she was going to be taking her double-recliner couch back within the next month. I hadn't expected her to need it so soon, since school doesn't start 'til the end of August. But the lease on her new apartment starts the first of June, and she and Dad want to start moving stuff in over the course of the summer (each time he goes on a fishing trip, in other words). So by them taking our main seating in the living room, we need to buy new stuff. And quick.
So on Tuesday Aaron and I headed to Rapid City because they have quite a few furniture stores. We went to the first one we found, hopped in, and were a little overwhelmed at ALL THE FURNITURE. I've never been furniture shopping in my life where I was the one making decisions. We wandered around for a bit, and a sales person asked us if he could help us with anything. We told him what we were looking for, and he pointed us in the direction we needed to go, and said he'd check on us in a few minutes.
A few minutes later he was back, like he said, and spent the next two hours with us, trying to find just the right thing that would fit into our perfectly square 16' x 16' living room. We found a love seat and chair with a matching ottoman, and a recliner that complimented the colors of the rest of the furniture. They're going to ship it to us on Tuesday, which means tomorrow (or any time before Tuesday, but tomorrow works best) we need to get the living room cleared of the current couches.
It was darn exciting. And not having to haul new furniture into our apartment is a plus! I'm glad we got the delivery option, and no interest for 3 years. I feel like I'm slowly growing up, but I sure don't feel like a grown up yet. I'll give it a few more years.
