New furniture arrived

At the beginning of the year, Andrew and I decided we could replace the loveseat in our family room.  In July of 2016, the lever to allow one of the seats to recline had broken, and it's the seat in which I usually sit!  It was also showing lots of age and had some rips and tears.  Andrew's parents had actually given us money for it last year, but at the time I couldn't find anything I liked, and then we found out we needed to replace his car so that was the end of that.  We weren't planning to do it this year either, but since my grandmother gave us more than expected and we didn't use it on rugs like we thought we might, we decided to get a new loveseat.  While we were shopping at our furniture store (we still go back to our old town...you can't beat the prices or the service), we found a chair that I absolutely loved.  I had been looking for a big chair to put in our living room to replace the blue rocking chair.  Blue had long been painted over in that room.  It was a discontinued chair, so it was marked way, way down, and the color would work!  We decided to add it to the order, and they were both delivered yesterday.  Everyone loves them both!  Of course we ended up having some major car repair expenses so it was an INCREDIBLY expensive weekend, but life goes on.
