Assembling The New Bed

Once Ian got home we were able to put the bed together. I am absolutely in love... (minus the nailheads). These are just camera phone pictures in bad lighting. When there is better light I will take some pictures with my regular camera. /swoon

The high profile box spring fit perfectly with the rails of the bed.

Somehow we managed to put the giant heavy pillow that is our mattress onto the box springs. Love it.

This is the end result. Yes, we are those people who have a million pillows on our bed. That's exactly what we wanted. Our favorite hotel in Seattle has a bed just like this one. King Size. Fluffy. A million pillows. The best part of the bed was being able to sit up and lean against the big pillows. They're not "decorative". We can lean against the white Euros. The king size blue pillows are the normal side sleeper pillows. The shams that match the duvet I will use to prop myself up at night as usual. Ian will probably push his aside. It is a giant comfy "grown up" bed. Finally.

Almost Perfect New Bed

I'm not going to let it spoil my special new bed day... But the headboard was slightly not what we ordered. I ordered it without "nailheads" and guess what it came with? It just doesn't go with the style I was going for. The nice thing is.. Pottery Barn is on top of it. They allowed us to keep the bed until the new headboard comes in.

Here are the stupid nailheads. Otherwise, it is perfect!!

It's Here!

This truck needs to be permanently parked in front of my house.

Insert New Bed Here

Today is the day! Our new bed from Pottery Barn will be delivered. The mattress was delivered yesterday and was so comfy even on the floor. I'm beyond excited. The pinched nerve in my neck is excited too.

Time Flies

I am currently at a work event that happens every September. I cannot believe how much has changed in a year. EB is no longer here. A creepy guy that followed certain women around is no longer here. My old Boss From Hell is no longer here. My big project was mentioned in a opening address presentation. Only bad part... we're staying at the same hotel that I got bitten by bed bugs at.

It's hard when you're in a situation that you think it will go on forever. I thought my Boss From Hell and EB would never leave my life. EB has moved to a different part of the company. The Boss From Hell transferred back to the US. In fact... he left almost a year ago today. It's amazing how time flies and life changes. Yay. The unfortunate part comes now... an 80's themed dinner. Shoot me.
