Out with the Old and In with the New

When Ben and I got married we furnished our house for 60 dollars.  Yes that is right 60 dollars.  Most things were give to us, thus most of our furniture is mismatched, but VERY comfy.  One day when we aren't moving so much we will spend the money on furniture but for now we will continue using the mismatched furniture until we aren't poor college students.

Say hello to our small t.v. that was given to us from Ben's sister.

Isn't she a beaut?   She has served us well for the past almost three years and would have continued to work for us until she broke (because yes we are that cheap).

Well now I would like to introduce to to this beautiful thing

This is our new 54 inch flat screen t.v. that Ben WON this summer!  How did he win it?  Well every end of the summer Platinum (the company Ben works for) has a competition to win the t.v. that they use during the summer.  This summer Ben sold the most sales in the last 2 and a half weeks and he won this ginormous t.v.

When we found out that we won the t.v. we both had to laugh because we would NEVER buy a t.v. like this for ourselves unless it was given to us or we won it. 

The fun part was trying to get it to fit into our little Honda and bring it home from OKC.  Thankfully this past summer I packed super light and Ben is amazing at packing so we had the whole back seat open.  We put this t.v. right behind my seat and packed everything else behind it.  It was a tight squeeze but it made it home with us. 

Since then we have thoroughly enjoyed our very large t.v. and would like to thank Platinum for giving us something that we would NEVER buy for ourselves.
