After much consideration, it was decided that my husband and I would switch from a full size bed to a king size bed, just for the sheer luxury of having more room to stretch out and snooze. Around here, king size beds have become quite the norm for couples who prefer plenty of sleeping space and comfort during slumber. It was time to join the club. After our first day in our new bed, it was decided that a few more warm bodies in our big, new bed would be a great idea. Instead of pushing the cat off the bed every night or reprimanding the dog to return to his own bed, we opted to share. What we’ve realized is that our king size bed now has just as much precious space as our full size bed after the introduction of a 150 pound bull mastiff and a well-fed house cat. Looks like we did not upgrade after all.

My husband and I recently married, and have been talking about possibly trying to have a baby. My parents were never very happy about our marriage, and have skirted around the subject of grandchildren every time I brought it up. Because we moved far away, almost immediately upon marriage, we had not seen my family in quite some time. It was nice, there was no awkward moments, no family conflict.

In the fall, my family had planned a road trip in order to see my husband and I, who live on the east coast. The plan was to meet up half way, in order to spare the expense of driving across country. Upon meeting up, my father had informed me that he had purchased rooms for both my husband and I, as well as my family. While my mother, father, and boths sisters stayed in a room with a huge king size bed, we walked into our hotel room to find two double beds, their last ditch effort to make their point about us having children!
