Creature Comforts

We are soon getting our tax return. With it we will be getting two recliners. Yay!!! Can't wait for the comfort. It should be a really good purchase for us. Sitting on the couch has become quite a painful endeavor. Dan has his back problems and I have my all over pain. We've been casually shopping for recliners for about a year now. We had hoped that last year would have afforded us the opportunity to buy. But this year it has become a priority. We have been back and forth between styles and fabrics never quite feeling as though we had found the chair for us. We had tentatively decided that the Calvin in leather was a good choice. It is a great price for a leather recliner. But for some reason when we went back to La Z Boy we still wanted to "try out" some more chairs. We split up and wandered the store. Bethany came with me and Bradley went with Dan--advisors--very important job. I sat in the Calvin again but something just wasn't clicking, so I moved on to try some others. Finally I ended up in a chair known as the Clarkston. It was heaven. I felt as if I could fall asleep right there in the store. Unfortunately we had decided to go leather and this chair came standard in fabric. Upgrading was going to be quite expensive. So, I wandered to go and find Dan and let him know that I had found the recliner that I wanted. Surprise! He was sitting in the exact same recliner at the back of the store. We had each separately picked the same chair. We were considering forking over some major cash to get them in leather--you know as a good investment but it turns out that the fabric that our chair comes in is a microfiber and of a very high quality (and ultra super soft as well). Yay!!! We saved some cash and got a great chair. However, it takes 6-8 weeks to get them ordered. And so the waiting begins...
