may 3: my bed

Definitely on the Top 10 list when it comes to my favorite things.

My husband promised me a new mattress before baby #2 was born. (Side note: Our first one came from Vince, who frequented the coffee shop Warren used to manage. Vince knew a guy, and if we would only meet him at his creepy warehouse, he would set us up. True story.) We went shopping, did the whole Princess and the Pea thing, but it was impossible to compare mattresses/prices. Ever-researching husband didn't want to settle and end up with something that would feel like lumpy oatmeal (or grits if you're from the south), and I just wanted him to choose something, now. But the man does not make hasty (or many bad) decisions, and found this company: Bed in a Box

Yep. Bed in a Box. Sounds cozy, doesn't it!?! But he decided if we went with this company, we could get top quality for our buck.(He even called some of the businesses located around Bed in a Box to make sure it was legitimate. And one business owner said he had one of the mattresses, and was very pleased.) And did we EVER. A memory foam mattress that is as comfortable today as when we bought it. I sing his praises almost every night, and that mattress came two days before Adeline was born. Five years ago. It was one of those things the Lord still uses to help me trust my husband. Because every single night I benefit from his research and good judgment. And I am in love with my mattress. And him, but we both highly esteem the mattress.
