My Rocking Chair

Brian and I went to Babies R Us at 4:30 A.M. to get in line on Black Friday. I was surprised that there was only one lady there waiting since the store opened at 5:00 A.M. Well, since there wasn't a long line my sweet husband waited in the cold for 1/2 hour while I got to sit in the warm car. Then I started feeling guilty because it was really, really cold so I found a Starbucks and bought him a warm cider.
When I returned the doors were about to open so I stood in line with Brian, by then there was a growing line. We asked the lady in front of us what she was waiting for and she told us she told us she was in line for the diaper and wipes deal. Come to find out, this crazy lady got there at 3:00 AM to wait 2 hours in the freezing cold! The diaper deal was decent 2 packs for $10.00 and the wipes was a jumbo box (400 some) for $5.00, but not a good enough deal to wait that long in the cold. Plus there was PLENTY......when Brian went back a few hours later there were still plenty of diapers and wipes left. We had a pretty good laugh about this the rest of the day.

We, however went early to wait in line for the glider we registered for, because it was 1/2 off. We are both glad we went early because they only had nine of the espresso color and there were 4 or 5 people waiting behind Brian to get the same one. I did take advantage of getting the diapers and wipes deal as well since I was there.

So I am very much in love with my rocking chair and so happy with it. I was like a little kid on Christmas. Here is a picture of Brian putting it together.
We thought we were getting one with a dark green cover but when we took it out we learned that it was actually brown. We came to the conclusion we would actually be happier with the brown because one day if we ever take it out of the nursery it matches every thing in our living room, which is where it is right now until we get the nursery cleaned out. Plus I am enjoying rocking it in it while we are watching tv or just hanging out. I love it! It is so comfy and beautiful. I can hardly wait to rock my little baby in my new rocking chair!
