Wahoo for the weekend!!!

Thank goodness for Friday! With Alex being gone this week and just getting back yesterday, I am more than ready to embrace this weekend with outstretched arms! The weather is gorgeous and I think it's supposed to remain this way for the next couple of days. I see many visits to the park in our future.

One thing we hope to accomplish this weekend is to purchase a new bed. Let me give you some background information that led us to making this decision. We are currently sleeping on a "full" bed with a mattress that I've had since high school. The headboard is a hand-me-down from Alex's little brother, Ben, that he so thoughtfully spray painted black. The frame to our bed is probably over twenty years old and is to the point now where I don't think I would even consider it a frame. Alex and I both knew about this situation when we got married and being the love birds that we were, we happily embraced the opportunity we saw in having to sleep so close to one another. Now, however, we toss and turn all night long desperately trying to get comfortable. The sheets get tangled at our feet, the comforter falls to one side, elbows are flailing, feet are kicking, and just when we start to think it can't possibly get any worse, a sound that I can only describe as a "BOOOOONNGGGGG" loudly trumpets from underneath our bed. I have no idea what is making that sound but at this point, it's enough for me to spend whatever amount of money it takes to give us a good night's rest. We are on a mission and neither one of us is ready to back down until we find the perfect bed. Enough is enough.

In other news, we also hope to get our backyard summer-ready. I love our backyard and deck and since during the summer we eat almost every meal outside, it's definitely time to get the weeds pulled and the plants and flowers planted. I just finished washing all of the windows and doors, inside and out, and so now all that needs tending to is the yard. Hopefully the weather cooperates.

Alex and I are still going back and forth on replacing the flooring in our house. We want to do hardwood throughout the downstairs and then replace the carpet upstairs, but since our moving date has been pushed back about a year, we are wondering if we should wait on doing these upgrades until we're a little closer to moving. I personally think we should do it now because I think new flooring will make living here for another year more enjoyable. I love our house as it is but pretty hardwood and plush carpet would make me love it even more! :)

I hope everyone has a relaxing and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend!!!
