13 (almost 14) years later...

We got a new bed! Like a band new bed.. not one handed down from our parents or from someone else.

We have been saying for a few years now that with part of our tax return money that we were going to buy a new bed, but every year we would pay off debt (not a bad thing). But this year we stuck to our plan and got ourselves a new bed. It's even a King! Because of the way it needs to go upstairs and that all of the new beds box springs do not compress.. well the King was the only way to get it upstairs (the base is two twins)

Well it was delivered and had sat on the truck over night... so needless to say it was frozen (it's memory foam) and the delivery guys left it to warm up and then came back to get it upstairs.

 Here it is with the new bedding that DH and the boys chose! It is amazing! It's probably one of the hardest shopping decisions we have ever made but we don't have soar backs anymore :)
