The Dream and then....

About a week ago I had a dream that we went to the Home Expo and entered a contest and won new bedroom furniture. The next day I got complimentary tickets in a e-mail. So I told Wes that we should go and just walk around. Because we didn't have to pay to get in. We went on Saturday and entered for the grand prize which was bedroom furniture. Then we left and came home. Sunday was just anouther ordinary day. We went to church and came home. Karla came over for dinner and to play games. While we were playing the phone rang. After finally finding the phone I answered. A lady asked if I was Jessica and I said yes. Then she told me she was from the home show and that they drew my name for the grand prize. I stood in the kitchen and said, "No way! Are you serious?" She assured me that this was real and I had won and that I needed to come pick it up. But I couldn't hear anything she said because Wes said, " Did we win? We won?! No way!" After all screaming and lots of smiles and disbelief I had to leave the room and get a hold of myself so I could talk to this lady. Since it was Sunday I couldn't go and get the furniture that night. That wouldn't be right. So she said that I could come and get it Monday before noon. So Wes moved all his patients ahead one hour so we would have time to get it. Thankfully my parents let us have their truck and my grandparents also drove up with theirs. It took us about 30 minutes to figure out how to take the bed apart. But finally we had everything loaded and ready to go. Part of me still thinks that I am in a dream. It doesn't seem real to me. I had a dream that this happened and then it really did. Some people might say that we are "lucky." But Wes and I know that we are "blessed." So enjoy the pictures and come back for more soon. The room is not finished yet. We do get a Interior Designer who will come to our house for a consultation and also a new paint job. :)


This bed is actually a King. It is so big! Wes doesn't have to tell me to move over anymore. Our bed before this was just on the ground but this one isn't. It feels so different! Oh and yes we got all the bedding, tons of decorations, a rug and other neat stuff. Of course it all won't fit in our room so we will just have to find a home for it somewhere else.It is actually a canopy bed but we can't fit the top part on because our ceilings are too low. Is this my room? I feel like I'm in a dream and that I need someone to pinch me to wake me up.

Wow. . . I can't believe it either. The bed is beautiful and BIG. Enjoy all the "blessings" that you get and all I want to say is KEEP DREAMING. . . How do dreams come true if you don't.

OK, you two are the luckiest dogs I've ever known, and probably ever seen. No one wins more free stuff than you do!!! Nobody! If I wasn't so happy for you guys getting some sweet deals I would probably say something like, "this makes me sick!"
Love ya and good luck with the new bedroom.
PS any word on coming to Raleigh?

What a beautiful place to dream. Fit for a King, his Queen and a little Princess named Sophie Rose. It even came with interior decorating lessons....Sounds perfect!
hugs, Aunt Vanee'
P.S. Maybe you should enter a contest to win a truck...
