I am so excited! I got a check this past week that was totally unexpected! After ensuring it was legit from payroll (I didn’t want my feelings hurt later), we went SHOPPING for our future kids (SN: We have found another sibling pair of three girls we are thinking hard over)!
Looking on the internet at various furniture stores, I found the cutest STACKABLE bunk beds I have ever seen!
Whereas they came in colors like espresso and cherry, we settled on the pine (even though I have a passion for cherry), because we knew that pine would be easier to match up in color as far as when it comes to matching and mixing other pieces.
For so long we have been agonizing over what exactly would a child sleep in! We didn’t want regular bunk beds, because they cannot come apart, and what if we adopt these two year old twins we saw? How would we accommodate them in a bunk bed of all things? How would we secure the child up top, didn’t wind up down below?
However, when I saw these bunk beds online, and saw that they are STACKABLE, our knew my prayers had been answered! With stackable, we are ready for ANYTHING! We can have two year olds, and just put those little rails on the sides of the bed as I saw in Wal-mart, and bing bang BOOM, we’re set, or if we adopt older kids, we can either have them tucked in bunk style, or twin style! YIPPEE!
Not only did we get the bunk beds this past week, but we also got the mattresses! Come to find out that Sam’s Club sells Serta mattresses for twin and bunk beds for only 99 dollars! This was such a sweet deal!
We commandeered my daddy’s pick-up truck, and moseyed on out to Wal-mart and Sam’s!
Then, as if we had not run around enough this week, we saw a fabu sale going on at Value City Furniture, were they had youth chest of drawers marked down for their Columbus Day Sale---of course we snatched up two!
I tell you! This has been a most amazing week! We have finished furnishing the bedroom for our future children!
Now, as I sit here typing, I giggle to myself as I listen to the grunts of my hubby and daddy upstairs putting together those massive bunk beds. LOL. This is too cute, and I think my excitement has suddenly come back! I mean hey! If Stella could get her groove back, and others are bringing back sexy, I figure I sure can bring back my excitement!
Continue to pray for us!
PS An additional word about our social worker: she has been Johnny on the Spot responding to our emails since our first adoption class began. I have gotten more information from her in these past few weeks, then I ever did leading up to the beginning of our certification classes. Life….seems suddenly good right now. To put this past week in the words of the immortal Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes…Life…is fine!
