NEW truck=GOOD luck

So a couple posts ago I told you guys about this truck that Andrew had bought. Well we ended up selling it and we made a profit of $2100 !! Way to go babe!! Anyways so we thought on what we should do with this money for a couple days. We wanted to put it in savings but we also haven't really bought anything yet our whole marriage. Andrew got a job drilling out in Taber and lets just say he is making good money...plus he banked so many hours at his last job that we still have lots of money coming in from there. Needless to say it is Christmas time and we decided that we would save all our money from now on but we were going to spend that $2100 on ANYTHING we wanted. We looked around our house and definitely both saw what we were so obviously missing....good seating. If you haven't been to our apartment then I will tell you that we have this wicked old love seat from my parents house that I put a slipcover on and bought matching pillows for...it meets a need but sure isn't very comfortable. My cousin Lacey also let us buy this huge sectional from her for $100 and it is wicked comfortable.....BUT our apartment is set up so bad that we could only fit the one side in....and lets just say that couch is a little awkward to sit on. So we went to Ashley furniture...found the most beautiful leather couches with reclining seats...and BOUGHT them! They are brown and the "love seat" if that is what you would call it...is two recliners with pop holders and remote holders in the middle. PLUS Ashley furniture sets up all their furniture so that you can take the frame off and put them into your place in different pieces. The whole time we were looking at this couch Andrew kept saying " this is our couch babe...this is our couch"...... he is so funny. They actually came to almost exactly what we got off the truck..just a little less AND they will probably get here a week or so before Christmas. My husband really wants a dirt bike/truck/quad/toy....but he was super supportive of buying something that we can both enjoy....and most of what we do together is watching movies so we felt it was somewhat a need. Anyways I should probably get back to my homework....I will be stuck in this library for the next 18 days....
