christmas present

so, todd asked me what i wanted for christmas during november (i actually think it was on his birthday that he asked!).  i said i wanted a new bed for his house because the one he has is probably the most uncomfortable (and small!!) double bed in the world.  i was also thinking of diamond earrings (i don't recall if i said that aloud or not...).  


then, the first weekend in december, we went to sioux falls to eat lunch with jim, melin, & andy at the olive garden (yum!).  afterwards todd & i went to scheels and then stopped at the sd furniture mart in the same mall, just to "check things out."  long story short, an hour or so later, he had purchased a new bedroom set (dresser, sleigh bed, and nightstand) and mattress - king sized!!  


it was delivered on december 30th, but because of the blizzard-like weather, we had to go to the farm in case todd's dad needed help moving the snow for the cows and such.  (i'm such a farmer!)  anyway, january 2nd, we finally got back to yank and got the sheets washed and the whole bed put together.  (i got to choose the bedding!  teal & brown)  his mom came over to check things out, and the two of us put up the pictures i got for todd for christmas that matched the bedroom better than the kitchen (for which they were intended).  

one of the coolest things about the dresser is the light on the mirror.  there's a metal piece on the left side that we just have to touch and it turns on the light - 3 different levels of brightness!!  

all in all, i'm super happy with how it looks and am very excited to be able to sleep in the bed - can you believe neither one of us has yet?!  todd's waiting to get a new tv for the bedroom (the one that's in there cannot be seen over the foot of the bed - ha!), and i'm waiting til a night that i'm not busy in wag so i can go to yankton for the night!!  it's going to be so great!


that's all for now!
