Graduating from college furniture

After too long with our mattress on the floor and our mismatched bedding, Jason and I decided to bite the bullet and get a completely new bed. Sears had all of their mattress sets 50% off, so we went with a much better quality than our previous mattress we've had since we got married.

It was so much fun to spend money (even though it was really on a credit card) and to pick out what we wanted. Ezra and I went shopping for the bedding at JC Penney and got a really good deal on a comforter, bedspread, shams, bedskirt, new sheets, and four pillows. He even helped me make the bed and style it!

It's so much taller than our last bed (which was on the floor anyway) and we are enjoying a good night's sleep on it.

In our own backyard

We are blessed to have a new greenway that runs alongside of our neighborhood. Ezra, Haggis and I decided to go on a nature walk on the hottest day of summer the other week. We practically gave our poor dog heat stroke! Once we got to the shaded parts, it was quite pleasant.

Here's a blairwitch-like video my son took while we were taking a break.
