The couch that we ordered over 2 months ago was finally delivered yesterday.  When we moved into our house here, we picked out a couple of couches...  a less-expensive, fold-out sleeper for the upstairs living room, and a really nice, non-sleeper for the big downstairs room where we spend most of the time.  The sleeper arrived shortly after we ordered it, but the nice one was delayed multiple times.

We spent our first 7 years of marriage with really old couches that my parents had when I was growing up.  They were so old and broken down that we decided not to bother bringing them with us to Washington.  It's very nice to have a sweet couch (it's nice to have a couch at all).  We made sure to get one long enough that I can lay on it without my head or feet having to be on an armrest (something I rarely experience at 6' 2").  It also sits up nice and high so you don't have to feel like you're climbing out of a hole when you get up.  Becky's feet don't even touch the floor when she's sitting on it.
