The Fort is gone.
This morning, Jose, one of the maintenance guys that works for our building, came by to pick up our beloved couch and chair. We bought it from a sketchy knock-off furniture store in Torrance 10 years ago and was made after a set that I saw in a Pottery Barn catalog. It has been one of the most comfortable places for me to sleep and when I was preggo I slept on it every night. After a while, I called it The Fort since I spent so much time on it. When Kumquat was born, my mom slept on it for 6 weeks. I’ve also taken numerous photos of Kumquat and Koa on that couch. It has lots of sentimental value to me but it was time to get rid of it. It was starting to show its age and I was pretty embarrassed of its condition when people would come over to visit. This morning, I took one last photo of them.
Here is what our livingroom looks like now. It’s nice to have more space but it’s kinda sad too. We ordered a smaller leather sofa from Costco today and it should be delivered in a few weeks. Until then, we will enjoy the extra space and Koa and Kumquat will have a nice view from the window.

Monday, September 9, 2013@Ranee That’s so funny! We just gave it away because someone was so willing to take it away for us in a jiffy. Check out Costco. We ordered online and they threw in free shipping!!!
