yesterday, devin and i woke up bright and early (on a saturday?!) to drive up to salt lake and very grudgingly pick up our bedroom set. when we got there, i guess i was just expecting grown men? the 3 people that helped us were these little punk kids in skinny jeans and vans!!! bah. no wonder we've been having such a difficult time with this whole thing.
one of the kids goes "uh... i don't think all of this stuff is going to fit in your trailer"
and devin didn't hesitate to say "well, you better make it fit, or i'll be pissed!"
at that point, i went and sat in the car to text chloe about coming over, so i didn't hear the rest, but i'm sure Devin put them in their place, very appropriately, haha.
and what do you know, it DID fit. perfectly. we had taken his dad's big ford truck with a covered utility trailer, and we got our mattress, box spring, chest, dresser, 2 nightstands, headboard, footboard and rails in there! it was awesome.
we met sean and chloe at our apartment and chloe and i watched while sean and devin carried everything inside... we aren't much help with heavy stuff! haha the boys immediately got to work on setting up the bed, and chloe and i unwrapped everything else -- it was like christmas! our furniture is even prettier than i remember! it's all a really dark, almost cherry wood... it's beautiful.
and i had been worried that it wouldn't fit in the room, and it wouldn't look good -- but it all fits perfectly, and it looks just fine!!! i was sooo excited about it. then we went to lunch and ernie's, which is always good, and sean and chloe went to run some errands.
devin and i decided that while we still had the trailer, we would just pick up the couches, so we did. and unwrapping those was even more fun!
AND i even helped carry both pieces! i was pretty proud. they weren't very heavy though, and i did drop them more than once... but we got them in, unharmed! there are probably 10 pillows on the couch, and that was immediately an issue, but we made it work great, i think. the couch is SO comfortable. so once we had it set up, we sat on it. for about 10 minutes. and it would have been longer, but i was begging devin to come help me make the bed!
i was so excited to put the sheets and comforter on, and we somehow managed to match everything PERFECTLY. the yellow wall and yellow comforter aren't the same shade, but they are perfect together. the blue sheets are just the right shade. the lamps that are dark blue are exactly what i wanted, and it all compliments the dark wood perfectly. i can't even believe it! our room looks like something out of a magazine. it's so pretty. i can't wait to get our stuff moved in, and hang up the pictures we picked out, and finish decorating!
after that, we decided we'd go window shopping for a TV. devin already has a 42" plasma... which is awesome. and we're obviously putting that in the living room. but we wanted a smaller TV to put on our tall chest in our bedroom. after going to costco, best buy and rc willey... costco clearly had the best price. and devin bought it! haha that man... i just can't say no to him. he's so great. it was too good to pass up though, so i'm not complaining. now we just need to get a blu ray card for a our player, so we can have netflix on both TVs!
after that, i went home and got ready, and went to girls night. kylee, shelly, kaylee and i went to chili's (as usual) and ordered the same thing, like we always do. and then we laughed and talked loudly and were slightly obnoxious all night long. kaylee is probably one of the most hilarious people i know. she had us all laughing SO hard. i love them all! after chili's even though we were all stuffed, we went to kneader's for dessert, but mostly just to visit tracey. she's a girls night member, too, but had to work. we ate a couple bites of cheesecake, watched some crazy youtube videos, and i called it a night. the rest of them went and watched a movie, i believe, haha. they are the best friends i could ask for. i love them!
and as much as i do... it was still hard to not spend the night with devin. i just can't get enough of him, i guess haha
i also can't stop thinking about our house!!! now that we've brought in all the furniture, THAT place is more my home then where i am now. devin will move in the beginning of may, and i am jealous of him, but that's okay. because when i move in, it will be for real. i'm so excited!

costco is the best for TV's! what kind did you guys get? we have a vizio one that we go from there that is in our bedroom. it already has wifi on it or some sort of internet card so we can instantly watch netflix with out a blu ray card.. maybe you guys got one like that too? we didn't really know it could do that til we brought it home! (actually sean might have known.. but i didn't..haha. i was too distracted by the fact that he made it fall off our bed while he was taking it out of the box..)you should check! but whatever TV it is i am sure it's awesome and it will look so good in your room! i love your room! can't wait to see it all finished!
thanks for coming over last night! i hope you guys enjoyed the J Dawgs! thanks for bringing the drinks! we for sure need to have a poker night at your place soon! i want to come see your couch! anyway, hope you have a great day katie! :)
