Saying Goodbye

Today we said goodbye to the couch we've had since we got married. This was the first piece of furniture that we bought together . . . it lasted for over 12 years . . . I think that's pretty good in the couch world. We donated it to the Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta . . . as they rolled it to their truck I wondered who would get to sit or sleep on our couch. I even got to sleep on it one last time last night because Emily woke me up coughing and I couldn't go back to sleep because Joe was snoring in my ear : ). So it was nice to get to sleep on there one more time. This couch was a very popular choice in the mid 90s. I know of 4 other people that had this same couch.
We also got our carpets cleaned today. I wanted to get that done now that little Miss Emily is crawling. She has a head cold right now. Her poor little eyes were so swollen today and she "oozed" from her nose all day. I gave her some tylenol tonight . . . I hope her cold goes away soon. She did crawl some more today . . . she looks so little crawling on the floor!
