do not drop

Diane got new bedroom furniture last week. She's been wanting this furniture forever and she finally saved up enough moolah to purchase it. The two nightstands arrived first and a few days later the dresser and mirror were ready to pick up from Pier 1.
Since my car is big enough to fit a dresser in, I had the honor of picking it up. Once I got home, Jessie, Diane and I unloaded it from my car...
we had a little bit of a hard time
once inside, we decied it would be easier to get up the stairs if we took it out of the b0x

it was like opening a Christmas present
then we decided it would be eaiser to carry if we took the drawers out.
we quickly learned they didn't come out.

so we thought about just keeping it in the doorway
there was pretty much no way we were getting that baby up the stairs. so we did what any girls would do.
we called the boys that live down the street

we were like a pitcrew team putting wheels on a racecar

after getting everything in its proper place, we had cardboard and styrofoam all over the place. so we packed it all in my car in search of a dumpster

luckily there's more town homes being built in Diane's neighborhood which means there are dumpsers scattered here and there.
Jessie helped me empty my car.
i wonder if the construction workers noticed anything different about the dumpster the next morning?
Thanks to Scott and Travis, Diane has new furniture in her room and I have her old furniture in mine (which is fantastic since I was keeping my clothes in piles on the floor and under my bed)!

You forgot to mention that we had to call Scott and Travis not because Jake couldn't handle it...it was because he was out of town.

Also, we made brownies as a thank you for the guys. Scott, how'd that ice cream treat ya the next day?

Oh, and photos of my newly redecorated bedroom to come soon. And by soon I mean this calendar year.
