Of course, like most things in life, David and I learn as we go. We are new to the real world and having to actually buy furniture, cook, clean, blah, blah, blah. We purchased a mattress and box spring. Well, guess what? We own a platform bed. Platform beds do not use box springs. When the delivery men brought our mattress, the mattress was actually taller than the head board! It looked so goofy! After many phone calls to my mother and a few google searches, we found out that we have a platform bed. I didn't even know what that was. Apparently, they are big in Europe/Ikea. So now we have a super comfy, wonderful mattress on our bed and a box spring sitting in our other bedroom. Eventually we will get another mattress to put on the box spring. After we buy the million other things we would like to purchase now that David is working. But yay for us! No more air mattress! No more be woken up every ten minutes in the night to the sound of the mattress squeaking and creaking! David and I are such adults now.
On a different note, David started working full time at Zwick Construction. He loves his job and I love that he loves it! We went to Happy Sumo last friday to celebrate his first paycheck - in over eight months! So for now life is good. We are just working away and relaxing at night. I have actually started cooking a lot. I planned a bunch of meals and did a big shopping trip last week and have cooked four delicious meals. Shout out to Carlee - I made your penne rosa and loved it! It was amazing.
So that is what is going on in our lives. Now that the holidays and craziness are over I will try to give more updates. And more pictures. Pictures always make a blog post better. Sorry this one is lacking. Hope everyone's 2010 is going well!

Haha . . . that's funny. Don't worry; it won't be your last learning experience. I'm sorry to tell you it never seems to end, but eventually they don't come as frequently. We'll have to come by and see it sometime. Plus I need to give you pictures and get my ribbon box out of your way.
yay for being adults!!
i, for one, am a little disappointed that you got rid of the air mattress. bring it with you to new york so we can have sleepovers! all three of us! haha
hahaha that made me giggle but only because it is just such a thing that would have happened to me too. I miss you so much! And so does the mailroom:(
Scott slept on an air mattress for the first 6 months he lived here. It had a hole in it, so it slowly leaked out. Sometimes, rather than pumping it back up, he'd sleep on the couch. I strongly encouraged him to buy a nice mattress a few months before we got married so I never got to experience sleeping on an air mattress.
