Good Bye Dear Friends




We have had these sofas for 5 years now. They were hand me downs from my sister Carol who had them for many years before that. As you can see, it is definitely time to part with them. Tomorrow our new sofas arrive. I feel like a REAL adult. At age 33 I am finally buying my first set of couches.

We just gave away our flowered couch of 8 long years. We love our new couches (and our kids do too...) Congrats, and Merry Christmas!

So jealous! When the tax return fairy arrives next year, I'll be calling you for couch shopping advice. I can't wait to see yours! Congrats Amy. :)

Actually I might like those old couches of yours. You wouldn't have to worry about the kids ruining them. I love hand me downs, garage sale stuff because they are "fully depreciated".

We got a new couch last year for Christmas and someone threw up hot chocolate on it the next day - good thing it was an Ikea couch with slip covers!

You'll enjoy your new ones -just remember, pillows do a lot to keep it new and cover up stains if they happen

p.s. something really random, I met your friend Anita from high school track at a party here in SLC

Al- how did Anita from Troy, Michigan end up in SLC?

I have yet to buy my own set of couches. We are on hand-me-down set #3! I can't wait to see what you pick!

hey - I met her at a birthday party for one of my neighbors. She and her husband are Dr.s here but they are planning on moving to Ann Arbor, MI this summer. She has two little girls and is on Facebook if you want to get in touch.
