Let's get some Z's

You learn a lot when you get married.  One of the first things we learned was that our sacred sleeping space was now to be shared with another person...someone who definitely sleeps very differently than we do!  No one is at fault, we just have different sleeping habits!  I love sheets tucked in on all sides!  I literally fold the top sheet down about a foot, two feet max, and crawl in so that I'm cocooned in as I sleep and during the night, I don't move a muscle!  Kevin doesn't like sheets tucked in at all.  He feels trapped.  He would even be happy without a top sheet!  He moves around quite a bit during the night and because of his height, occasionally ends up sleeping diagonally on the bed!  Very different!

So, what are newlyweds to do, to maintain sleeping in the same bed (because I refuse to start our marriage sleeping in separate rooms)?  We're getting a new bed!  Thank goodness! We have a queen now, which is plenty of room for most people, but with a husband that's 6'4", there's not much room for me!  I think the biggest issue is that his feet hang off, so we need extra length!  And it doesn't hurt to just have more room in general!!

We've decided on a California King to give him the extra length!  Although it's about 4" less on the width, I think we'll still be thankful for the extra room!

I feel like we've been talking about a new bed for a LONG time and we finally went to High Point the day after Christmas and spent the entire day looking at furniture!  We arrived at Furnitureland South around 10am and didn't leave until about 5pm.  We saw A LOT of furniture and did a TON of walking!  We had a few ideas of what we liked and we were about to throw in the towel for the day when we ran into a consultant, to ask her the price on a few of the outlet items, and she encouraged us to go over to another building on a floor we had not yet visited.  And that's when we found the bed that we both just LOVED!

Furnitureland South...Awesome Building!

We have since ordered the bed and the mattress and the last few weekends have been spent removing Kevin's REALLY old bed from the guest bedroom, moving my newer queen bed into the guest bedroom, cleaning our master bedroom (I have a lot of clutter that I'm trying to eliminate!!  Our new bedroom needs to be an oasis!  Clean and no clutter!), and vacuuming everything so that when the bed arrives, the men can assemble it in a clean open room! 

In the guest bedroom, temporarily!

The mattress arrived Monday, so we're getting closer!  Just a few more weeks of us crammed in a queen bed in the guest bedroom and we'll be ready to enjoy the luxury of a HUGE bed in our master bedroom!!  I can't wait to get some z's!

New mattress...sorry there's no before picture and I can't guarantee you'll see the final product either! ;)
