We had to decide which room would become the nursery, the guest room or the craft room. The guest room lost. We've loved having that guest bed. It's been really convenient for having guests. We considered even getting a sofa bed for the craft room. Mom said she'd rather sleep on the air mattress, so that was even easier (and now you know who to blame when you come visit :-). We just needed to decide what to do with the bed.
It was L who turned me on to Craigslist. I've always been an ebay girl myself, but K and L were doing some spring cleaning (and getting ready for that cross country move, I still don't think they have regular internet yet and we miss them!) they ended up selling some things on craigslist. L always had great luck and even found some other neat things to purchase. It just started my thoughts thinking about craigslist. We listed our mattress/box spring set for $50. I thought that was kind of high really. I mean, we got it from a lady at B's mom's church when we got married 7 years ago. At that time it was about 17 years old, but it had only been used as a guest bed and was in great shape. I still think it's in pretty good shape, but $50 seemed like a lot for an almost 25 year old mattress set. We got three emails in the first hour. SO...the guest bed will be gone this weekend. B still thinks that I used false advertising because I said the mattress was firm, but I always thought it was firm. We apparently have different firm levels. Those of you who have slept on it can consider what you think. :-)
We hope that you don't avoid visiting because of the lack of a guest bed. The couches are pretty comfy too. Since dad is officially a senior citizen, we should probably let him use our bed when he comes. Ha!
I'm mostly excited because it means that we're going to have a nursery. Woohoo!
