Well, you may think we are crazy but this was a steal. The truck was coming from North Carolina with a load of furniture that was supposed to be sold in a store in Council Bluffs, IA. Upon arrival, the store was closed and they had to get rid of it to take freight back with them. So, the guys on the truck got a sales permit from the City of Omaha and literally rang doorbells and drove around neighborhoods, including ours, attempting to get rid of each piece. Let me tell you, this furniture was nice and pennies on the dollar. They had pictures to show us so we knew what was available and were willing to unbox most items to get a closer look.
Liz was a little unsure at first but I made her and Evan step into the truck to take a look. Liz liked the picture of one bedroom set and after some convincing by one of the guys, she allowed them to carry a night stand into our bedroom. We still could not believe this was happening, but to make a long story short, the entire new set was in our bedroom in less than an hour. The guys on the truck moved all of our old furniture to the basement and our new bedroom furniture was put together.
Crazy story, but see the pictures below. Our new mattress, not included in the hardware from the truck, is due to arrive this weekend. We cannot wait because our queen mattress has been on the king bed set up and Evan is unsure that it is a good long-term solution.
Evan is doing so much better and we have had a few good weeks. Last week he caught someone's cold but has rebounded nicely over the last couple of days. Thanks to everyone for being so supportive through emails and Facebook messages to check on Evan in late-September. Yes, it has been 30 days since somthing has been posted. Times flies when you are having fun.
