Love=getting a couch out of a trash compactor for your wife!

Here is the story. A couple of months ago one of the legs fell off our couch and we have been holding it up with text books. We didn't want to buy a new couch b/c we are planning on getting all new stuff when we move and giving our old stuff away. Anyway, some friends of ours moved and wanted to get rid of a couch so we decided to get rid of ghetto 3 leg early and take theirs. So went through the whole ordeal of finding a friend with a truck.....going to test out our slip cover on their couch so it would match, taking the old couch down ALL the stairs, hauling it to the trash compactor, hauling the new couch up, moving it into the living room, moving all the furniture around b/c it was too big ect. ANYWAY.....after about 3 hours I realized that the couch was waaaay to big for our living room. SO I sprinted down to the trash compactor to see if our couch was still there and Lance and I literally drug out our old couch (luckily it wasn't on too gross of stuff). The second we got out there were like 5 ppl walking their dogs and it 100% looked like Lance & I were going into the trash dump and stealing furniture! SO EMBARRASSING! Then we had to drag it 1/4 mile back to our apt. I think we looked pretty sad (well me) b/c this guy stopped and helped us! Anyway....I have Lysoled the couch and washed my slip cover...but as I am sitting here typing this I am still very aware that our couch was in that sick place!!!

Lance sarcastically smiling at me once we finally had the old couch back from the dumpster! I kept telling him that we are going to definitely look back and laugh!

Sorry the couch didn't work out, we should have measured it first. But hey what a great story to tell your kids one day.
