Today’s the Day…

….That our new bed gets delivered!

Last week, after months of looking, we finally decided on a mattress that we both agreed on. Its not that we have different tastes when it comes to the selection, its that we couldn’t find a good bed at a relatively good price that we both thought was comfortable, and would last awhile. We settled on a Stearns & Foster Plush king-size mattress.

After coming to the conclusion that we located the bed that we both loved, it was then time to find a place to buy it from. We ended up passing up an offer from MattressFirm and signed off on ours from…another MattressFirm, for a deep discount. Its truly amazing that the same company, in the same city, will give you two completely different prices on the same product.

For posterity’s sake, we ditched the air mattress last night and gave the old bed one more night of rest. It was my idea, partially for that reason, but mostly because I was tired of the cat attacking me sporadically throughout the night…every night. Alas, tonight’s the night our fortunes change. The new bed gets delivered, amazing sleep will commence, and we won’t have to deal with a crazy cat (whose normally sweet and cute til the darkness falls) disturbing our rest.

As far as everything else that’s happened this week, Wednesday was my grandma’s funeral. It was held at All Souls Catholic School in Sanford, and was very sad. I haven’t really had to deal with death in my lifetime directly. My grandpa passed away when I was young, so while I remember him, I don’t particularly remember his passing.

Luckily, everyone seemed to handle the proceedings very well, and once the ceremony had ended, everyone in attendance met back up for the reception. It was here where I got the chance to catch up with family I hadn’t seen in a long time, eat and introduce Kara to a lot more folks in my tree. Kara made my mom a card from her family, and she continues to prove that she’s one of the most thoughtful, caring people in the world.

Today I go back for my second day of work training. Yesterday was five hours of orientation videos, manuals and paperwork; I’m guessing today will be the start of my product orientation. So far the job seems like its going to be a lot of fun, and I can’t wait to hit the sales floor.

Oh, and one more thing….

We’re going to HoliWood Nights!!!

Kara booked our flights to Holiday World and Kings Island in early June a few nights ago. I can’t wait to finally get to ride my favorite coaster with her, ride new rides and camp with a whole bunch of friends. We’re both extremely excited about the trip, and it definitely can’t come soon enough.
