our new couch

funny story
when michael and i got married we bought a leather couch
off of craigslist for $100 dollars
we really liked that couch but sold it
before we moved to pullman
and we've missed it's wipe clean ways ever since
but the couch we really wanted was this one:
 it's the ikea ektorp leather couch
and extra funny that it would show up on craigslist yesterday
after we'd been couch shopping previously in the day
what we really want is a couch and matching love seat
and what do you know?
this couch has a matching love seat still being sold at ikea
and since this couch is in perfect condition
and cost $300 less than it's original price
plus we saved on tax and shipping
we're excited to add it's little sidekick to the mix
next time we go to seattle
preferably before we have eleanor or it won't fit in our van..

i know we've gone through a lot of couches in our marraige
like....6 or 7 if we're counting
but i'm pretty sure this is all we ever wanted
and it'll be sticking around for a while
i mean, at least until michael lets me spend $2000 on my dream sofa.. 
kidding.......

You guys must have a thrifting angel, looking over you! I never find awesome deals like this! And to have it be a couch you guys have been wanting... even better! :)
