Sofa, loveseat, ottoman and a marriage

Gary and I have been married for over ten years and have yet to purchase new living room furniture. He brought the couch he found when living in an apartment before we got married and when it wore out, his sister Laura gave us their couch and recliner because they were getting new ones. Well, it was time to make the plunge and get some furniture. The other set was worn, to say the least, and had out lived it's comfortable days. Once our tax return came in, the search began.

We knew we wanted leather, chocolate or slightly lighter shade of brown, sofa and love seat, and maybe a recline option. It was good that we decided this before we began looking. We started in Pocatello and sat on about every set that could meet at least one of our requirements but came up empty handed. Next we moved on to Idaho Falls and there fell in love with a set after looking at dozens more. We liked the set so much that we ordered one that was similar, wrote out the check and began the wait because it was going to take eight weeks to come in. A week later we got the call that they no longer made the love seat and we would have to start our search all over again. UGH!

Last weekend while we were in Utah for Jacob Moss' Eagle Court of Honor (CONGRATS JACOB!) we made a few more furniture stops before finding the set we liked. So, finally, we have a new living room set! WOOO HOOOO! Well, not exactly have - it's suppose to be delivered today. Here is the link to the sofa although the picture isn't the best and it looks WAY better in person :)

The best thing is, Gary and I made it through without a major break down in communication and I think we are both happy with the outcome. Maybe we can build a house together in the future!
If you can make it through furniture shopping, you should be able to make it through just about anything, right?
