Home sweet home, dude!

Do you hear those angels singing? This is my glorious, luxurious, heavenly new recliner! It just came a few days ago, and the only reason I haven’t shared my joy sooner is because I have been too, um, “busy,” reclining! It’s a Christmas gift from my parents. Technically it belongs to Jeff too, of course, but he gives his large, achy wife priority seating. What a great guy. We found this beauty for 50% off at Fred Meyer (it’s this giant everythingstore that I had never even been to before). A random lady walked by us when I was testing recliners elsewhere, and recommended Fred Meyer. Thank you, stranger!!

Now Jay has a little chair, I have a big chair, and Jeff has a couch. We’re like Goldilocks and three bears!

Here’s what our front room looks like now (we found that rug for $20 at Lowes!). Now it feels a lot homier in there—it was pretty bare before.

This is the view I have from my recliner. My talented sister made us that cool WHITE families are forever sign for Christmas. It’s a nice addition. [Just avert your eyes from the peanut butter jar full of Nerf balls and the bag of clothes for Goodwill on the fireplace]

Enough with the boring HOUSE pictures! Jay got a pair of sunglasses in his stocking this Christmas, and he is now quite the dude:

I love how he thinks he’s giving us the thumbs up with his pointer fingers! I also love how he travels—zero or 60, nothing in between…

…that’s definitely NOT how I get around these days! (3 weeks to go!)

I miss Fred Meyer!!! I grew up around them, and it's tragic that the east coast knows nothing about them...

That chair looks super comfy, and your living room is so cute! Did you make those curtains, or buy them? It all looks very homey :-)

I laughed when you said you had never heard of Fred Myer and that you described it as a super store. I grew up with Fred Myer (my mom owned a business attached to it) and I never thought of it as a superstore, but I guess it is!
I couldn't see the picture of Jay in his glasses, but I bet it is cute. Matthew loves his sunglasses and he calles them "dudes".
Enjoy your recliner! I bet that will come in handy once Rose is born as well.
