So when we decided to move out here I was too stingy and scared to drive a u-haul out, so we put most of our stuff in storage and drove out whatever would fit in our blazer. I thought that it wouldn't be a big deal to live without couches or a bed for 9 months (I can hear some of you chuckling now), but after a few weeks I realized that 9 months of sitting on the floor was not going to be pleasant. So, Lori and I began the hunt for some cheap couches. That's when Joseph told me about freecycle...and my life will never be the same :)
Within hours I had 6 couches offered to me for free! All we had to do was pick them up and get them into the apt. I ended up with this lovely gem and a loveseat that is dusty rose colored! What this picture doesn't show you is Lori and I trying a million different angles before getting to this point, or the screams from me as the couch came sliding down at me, or the moment when we thought that the couch would have to remain in the stairwell forever :)

Yeah, Tosh and I just lived some of that excitement in getting the Lazy boy into the house. If Tosh hadn't been so determined, the chair would be back in Mr. Rinvelts Driveway. It's too bad you guys couldn't have taken Taki and Connie's old couch. (smirk) Oh, by the way, dad is still shunning the new chair as of this writing.
No, I don't think that anyone understands the time we spent. We wedged it against the railing and took off some of the wood as I slammed up against it. Then we had to unwedge it which was much harder than wedging it. Anyway, it was one of the best times I have had in a long time!
