Jacob and I had been putting off buying a bed. It just wasn't something on our priority list since we'll be moving out of Rexburg someday and it'd just be another thing to pack up. But I had a change of heart once winter came and the air in our mattress was FREEZING! It seriously would not warm up. We put blankets under us and slept with a pile of blankets on top of us, but it just wasn't keeping us warm enough. So I had this itching feeling to check the schools bulletin board where all sorts of things are sold. (I've been trying to listen to those itching feelings ever since I missed a unit deadline for philosophy.) I found a bed for 150 first which I would have been okay with because I was that cold and desperate. But I kept going down the list and there it was. A queen size mattress with a wooden frame for 40 dollars. I called the person selling the bed right away because I did not want one more night freezing in bed. We picked it up the next day with the help of our friend Joe. The wooden frame was obviously home made and the mattress was used but it isn't gross at all. No weird stains, thankfully. Its still very firm and comfortable. Plus, we've found that we can store all sorts of things under the bed. We already put some suit cases under there and I plan on buying a bed skirt so we don't have to see them.
Here is our bed in all of its warm glory.
I realize one of the bed posts is crooked. We had to take those off and screw them back on when while they were being taken across town. We'll fix that sometime.
We've slept so well the last few nights with our new mattress and flannel sheets. I forgot how good it felt to sleep on a real mattress with flannel sheets. I am so thankful we have this new bed. I never thought I'd love a cheap bed so much.
