For some reason, I’m feeling a little sentimental about getting rid of our furniture. Well. I shouldn’t say for some reason. I know the reason. I’m a sentimental, mushy sap. This furniture was our first major purchase together. The very first thing. We actually bought it before our wedding because Bill was moving into our apartment and needed it. We bought it in January 1998 and got married in July.
Anyway…it’s 11 years old. And extremely loved on ~ by the two of us, two doggies, and two girlies! It’s definitely time for it to go, but I couldn’t help but think of all the “good times”…
Both the couch and chair are so comfy and deep … I graded countless papers … we watched countless movies and football games … it’s been in our apartment and both of our houses ... we snuggled both of our dogs … it was a very cozy spot for me when I was preggo and SO sick with both of our girls ... we snuggled and fed both of our babies … I folded TONS of laundry … we had family movie nights … it’s been jumped on by both kiddos … it’s been sat on by our friends and family at gatherings and birthday parties … it’s made sick girls and sick parents feel better … it’s been home to lots of giggling … and it’s been in the center of our family room – the heart of our home – for more then a decade.
And I cherish these memories.
Sentimental – yes. Sappy – yes. Dorky – probably. But I wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t all of those things.

We have loved putting our buns in that furniture and sad to see it go...
Okay, so I must be an even bigger sap b/c your memories of the couch... made me a little teary-eyed!
