I got it at IKEA about 4 yrs ago and the fabric is now SHOT and splitting. ;-( I LOVE THIS COUCH and we just got a new second hand set but i am still having a hard time lettin go of my RED couch as it sits behind the new couch. lol.<BR/><BR/>You got good taste, wink wink, which means I must have some taste too. tee hee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736266.post-26238294923227666052007-06-13T01:46:00.000-07:002007-06-13T01:46:00.000-07:00Hi Jolene, I've been a military wife for 12 years...Hi Jolene,<BR/> I've been a military wife for 12 years which is why I love to read your blog, I feel close to anyone who is in the military or has family in the military. I do have to tell you though, for Chad and his command's safety you really should think about not writing where he is and when he leaves or any kind information of their scheduled movements. It's something they drill into us when our husbands deploy or go on missions. My husband is gone for the second time in two months and I pretty much only know when he leaves and he calls me as soon as he gets to the airport here, that's it. He can't tell me much of anything else, not on the phone or email, try telling an 11 year old and a 5 year old for the hundreth time that you don't know when daddy is comming home! All he can tell his mom and family is that he'll be gone and he'll hopefully be coming home soon. I also think that the military is cracking down on military members blogs because some have been putting too much information on the internet. I'm actually grateful for that because I would hate for someone in my husband's command to be blogging about their whereabouts, especially since he's in a dangerous country right now. So, please don't take this the wrong way, I'm just looking out for Chad too, because he can get in trouble if someone from his command sees their itinerary on the internet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736266.post-65719819416785624782007-06-12T19:12:00.000-07:002007-06-12T19:12:00.000-07:00That is one sweet boy, then again, they all look s...That is one sweet boy, then again, they all look sweet!

I think you earned that little gift that Mark bought ya!! I'm guessing it's a shelf... As for Chad, I saw a rubber duck at Fry's as I was talking with a friend I ran into and I immediately thought of Chad, and then walked over to the other side of the store and forgot!! I need to go back!!! I am so glad you get emails from him... how wonderful to have this connection with your son. You are a beautiful spirit, Jolene, and you and your family are blessed and protected by God... He's going to take very good care of you and Chad and your family!
