I'm sitting in my bedroom, where my new bed will be tomorrow morning. I'm so tired after working late, and then taking apart our old bed, and then packaging up our old mattress to send off to be recycled. I would put myself right to bed right now, except....well my bed is currently in pieces beside me.
Parting with our current bed is pretty bittersweet, if you go for that nostalgic stuff; we won our bed 13 years ago at Ikea during a crazy contest!
During the contest we had to stay in our pajamas all day and lie in a bed in the Ikea bedroom section. We spent the day participating in random events (Build a size table blindfolded! Put a duvet cover on as fast as you can! Quick,switch clothes with your partner under the covers!) and we came down to three finalists, where we won our mattress. It was an epic day, where I stood on a table in the cafeteria and sang my little heart out to try and win votes, Chris was told by a 6 year old girl that they had the same pajamas (he was wearing mine at this point), and it was such a great day of teamwork for Chris and I, who usually butt heads at every turn.
So, goodbye little mattress. You served us well. You will be missed.
Happy Tuesday!
