We are only one more work day away from the weekend. It is going to be so nice to be able to have 3 days off in a row. Its going to be a little bit of work this weekend but it should all be fun stuff since we will not be working on the living room floor. We might be moving some stuff around but it should be a nice break from having to be on my hands and knee's working on taking flooring out or putting it down. It will just be putting stuff away and that should not take more than about an hour. HAPPY WEEKEND!!!

This trip is going to cut into our plans of getting new Bedroom Furniture we had wanted to get a Modern Bedroom set so we could have a new mattress and get some pieces that all match. You know a really nice set of furniture as well as all the trimmings new sheets, mattress covers the works. But it looks like we are going to have to wait in order to make over our bedroom. I wonder if our styles will change and we will end up getting more of a Contemporary Bedroom set. The last bed we got was from Ikea and we don’t really like it much. We had to end up putting a memory foam mattress on the frame that we got and my fiancée is always complaining that she is not comfortable and soar when she wakes up. So I guess we will just have to save our pennies and dimes and get that nest egg up so we can get a new set of furniture that she likes as well as a new mattress so she can be comfortable.
