Journal Entry

So last week we decided to finally do something about our mattress that definitely was not holding up to its end of the deal. Sagging in the middle, whether it was actually happening or subconsciously, we just couldn't stay away and always rolled towards each other. Some would say this is a positive thing when you're newly weds. However, imagine always sleeping scrunched with the person next to you. Not cuddled or relaxing, SCRUNCHED. So our solution - take the mattress back and say good bye to the strangely popular SUPER PILLOWTOP!

This is how our plan got a little muddled. We had to take our mattress back and get our refund before we could buy a new mattress. Well we looked and looked and looked. After a tough week at work and a night learning how to swing a golf club, my back could definitely tell when it was getting relief. We found a mattress Monday night that was SUPREME!! It actually made me feel relaxed. The only problem was that, of course, it was the last night of the sale. SO the challenge was, take the mattress back, get the refund and return to the original store to purchase the second mattress before they closed... Clever people will see the potential problem with this. Well it was raining and we needed a truck. So we hurried home, stripped the mattress, loaded it in Jacob's truck and returned it. THEN we called the gentleman who said he'd wait at the store after clossing for us to come pick up our new mattress.


Wouldn't you know, the lady accidentally switched the phone system off when they closed at 8. Meaning we couldn't get ahold of the salesman. So, yes we were without a mattress for the evening and thus we improvised.....

Alex made us a bed out of every blanket we could find and then some. It was like a nice little sleepover camp-out in the living room. I don't know if I'd call it fun at the time, but for sure a fun journal entry to always remember that AWESOME experience.
So what I've learned from Alex during all of this is, "if you can't do anything about it, there really isn't a reason to complain. So enjoy the ride, cause it'll all work out."

LOVE YOU HUNNIE

PS We did get our new mattress the next day, thanks again to Jacob and his AWESOME truck. And so far our mattress has definitely been all we could ask for, without all the fluff, it's just a plain old mattress! Now we sleep next to each other by choice :) We are sleeping fantastically. So I say to you all, sometimes fancy is not always better ;)
