Spend It Like We Got It

I'm sure you all remember the whiny wecan'treallyaffordawedding post last week? Well a week or so before C proposed, he took me on a shopping spree of sorts. You see, I'd been begging for chairs to match our dining room table since...well since I bought the dining room table back in 2008 (it was a steal at PB Outlet okay? I learned my lesson-don't purchase a table sans chairs). I know, right?! Anyway the day started out with us going to look at chairs. 


Okay, so I'm not a good window shopper. I know this. Somehow C managed to finagle 4 chairs in his smallish car. And yes, he strapped them in. He'll be such a good daddy some day. ;)

Ahem.


And then I couldn't stand looking at our dinky TV stand one more minute. Truthfully, I'd been begging for something, anything! to get rid of that thing. 



If I were pregnant, I would have called this nesting. But I'm not so I didn't. I just called it, 'Ashley's Spoiled Rotten Weekend 2012'.

So I had to get something. Pronto. Off to Ikea we went.


Once again, C made large boxes fit into his smallish car, and I nearly had to take a taxi home because there wasn't any room for me in the back seat!

The next day...



Yep, I just had him slap that bad boy up in the middle of the wall and I didn't move another piece of furniture. A month later, and it's still like this. I need to do something with those shelves...I did get more wicker baskets to fill out the bottom of the entertainment center though. Progress, people.

Oh, but the cherry on top?

He then took me to buy this...



OMG I'm so rotten.

For the record, we'd been using a 6 ft tree for the last 5+ years. I'd gotten my $20 worth, mmk? I'd been begging for a 7 1/2 foot tree for a couple of years now. We just recently moved into a place where we had enough space for a tree that large to make sense. 

Or so I thought. 

This thing is a beast. The height? Perfect. The girth? OMG we had to rearrange half of the house. It's so...ROUND. I still love it though. Even if we did have to buy over 500 more lights to put on it and if we have to sit in the dining room to watch the TV that's in the living room.

Ha.

So yeah. I'm spoiled. And by spoiled I mean grateful and thankful. C is too good to me. That wedding? I know if I really want it, I can have it, but I just really need to think about it some more. And if one more person asks me on a Monday morning, 'Didya get married this weekend?' I will lose my shit.

Thankful

I love this picture that I snuck a few days back...


Yes, that's C and my grandma watching a soap opera. So cute.

I'm SO thankful for these two.
