My Life, As Told Between (Baby Cakes') Naps

Yay!!! After months and months of searching, we FINALLY bought a sofa this weekend! We’d been having a really hard time finding something both of us liked. I liked the aesthetics of a smaller, sleeker sofa and T wanted something comfortable and big enough to fit his (very tall!) frame. We’d started the search for the perfect sofa around December of last year and had been to every furniture store in the greater LA area at least once over the last several months. We were on the verge of giving up and likely buying something neither one of us would be happy with when we dropped by The Sofa Company this weekend and fell in love with – *trumpets blaring* – a sofa that was on SALE!

Unfortunately, the loveseat was not on sale and had to be special ordered, so it ended up costing us more than the sofa and we have to wait 5-7 weeks to get it delivered, but I’m thrilled our place is starting to come together. The sofa looks much better in person than in this picture. The fabric is microfiber and it’s a rich, warm tan with down-wrapped seats and pillows. I so want to buy one of these gorgeous decorative pillows for it, but I’m going to hold off since we need to make sure we can pay all of our bills this month first!

In other news, we also checked out a possible wedding location this weekend. It’s on a hill overlooking the ocean so the view’s beautiful. Overall, it had many elements we really liked, but it’s not quite perfect, it’s very expensive (although we haven’t found any place that isn’t!), and it’s booked up for Saturday evenings through October 2008.

Sigh. Wedding planning is really hard. We oscillate between wanting to do something (in which case, I already feel myself buying into the idea that it has to be perfect according to some undefined idea of perfect I have in my head) or not doing anything at all and saving ourselves a lot of time and money…
