Wedding Fun

We have been on Orcas for the weekend attending my brother Aaron's wedding to Brandi. It was a quick trip but we all had a great time. The ceremony was short and beautiful. Simple and to the point. The party was fantastic. I am so endlessly happy for my brother and his new bride and I wish them all of the love and happiness in the world.
I also wished I had remembered to take my camera out of the car...but lots of other people took pictures and so I will have to beg on them to get me some copies...
On our way home we stopped at IKEA and bought a new bed as our old one officially bit the dust last week...and for doing it's duty for something like 8 years I'd say I'm honestly surprised we didn't get dumped onto the floor sooner. IKEA is like it's own little country...and I can't wait to go back...think I'll be saving up my home shopping needs for trips to IKEA from now on.
Needless to say I hope to be back to blogging soon, once I get all of our stuff unpacked and our new bed assembled (that is scheduled to arrive tomorrow)...that reminds me, I need to call Suzuki about getting a roof rack...

Sweet Sleep

I am looking forward to getting a decent nights sleep again soon. Brian finally decided he was ready to get a new mattress - Ok he was tired of hearing me complain about ours...he says there is nothing wrong with it...I disagree since I there are two rather large divots where we sleep that can be seen just by looking at it (and this is with 3inches of mattress topper and a made bed). He also doesn't seem to notice the ridge in the center of the bed between our two divots. There is also the 'uphill side' which is the edge of the mattress since those springs are reinforced they did not wear down like the center ones...I HATE sleeping on a slope of any kind. Now keep in mind I have not been actively whining or complaining...he asks me how I slept, I say not well, he asks why and I tell him it's the mattress. If he doesn't ask why, I don't tell him. But anyway I am very happy that come Friday night I won't be sleeping in a huge divot. I am also very happy that since it was on sale and we decided not to have it delivered (for 50 bucks! really? most places deliver free of charge when you spend that kind of money) and we only bought the mattress, not the set, it only cost us 200 bucks out of pocket with many thanks to Brian's mom and step dad as they gifted us with some Visa gift cards for Christmas.
