A beautiful, and very functional new bed for us

If David had gone through another deployment, this would have been our next purchase.  The bedroom set we had was passed to us from Amy and Tom, and while it meet our needs it was a few (15 maybe) years old.  And it was starting to look it!  David and I don't have a big bedroom so we decided to find a bed that would include storage as well.  We managed to find a gorgeous piece at Haverty's and with two new pieces we were able to remove all other furniture from our bedroom.  David told me that he never thought he'd have a bed like this, which made it completely worthwhile.  It was delivered and set up this past Saturday, and I can't stop looking at it!  Our bedroom looks bigger.  It's got these awesome omni-directional lights on the headboard for reading, and small night lights under each pier.  There's tons of storage space, to include built in jewelry compartments.  And I swear, our mattress is more comfortable on the platform bed.  I opted for pictures from the website so that you could see the whole bed in one picture.

The bed 

We also got the chest you see in this picture.  So these are the 

only two items in our bedroom now.

Hannah's new bed

Oh my gosh, between work and school and Contact, and then a nasty stomach bug, I feel so behind!  Things are moving along here in the Cernock household.  Hannah is potty trained, woohoo!  And we start the addition on our house in just a couple of weeks.  I can't believe how fast things are moving.  I'm so excited to see the house as it progresses.  In preparation, David and I have been organizing and going through all our stuff.  We spent all day last Thursday in the garage and I have to say that it looks great.  It's all organized and clean and functional.  David's very pleased with it.  We put up a fence in the backyard for my garden area.  We also bought a couple things for Hannah.  We bought her a Tinkerbell canopy bed, an art desk and an outdoor playhouse.   Here's some pictures of her new stuff.

9 Pines, all gone

I can't tell you how great it is.  On average, David and I could pull 20 to 25 bags of pine straw from the backyard.  We had a total of 13 pines, now we have two.  Our yard looks so much bigger, and better.  We've got a guy coming out to help prep the soil for sod.  We've got a patch picked out for my garden.  Ahh, it's just so much better.
