Saturday we left @ 11:00am to go pick up Avery's dresser. It is a good 45 min. to a hour drive but we thought for sure we would be back by 1:00 or just a little after.
We got to USA baby and were told that the crib that goes with the dresser wouldn't be in until at least January maybe February which always means even later than that. That would have been nice to know back in August when I ordered it. So we could take the dresser and wait til who knows when for the crib or pick out a whole new set. We decided on plan B, we found another cute set.
They had the crib in stock at their store but the dresser wasn't in stock. It was, however, in stock at another location, which was another 30-45 drive. We figured might at well go pick it up because either way we would have to make a drive.
We had a little trouble finding the other store. We couldn't find the exit we were supposed to take so finally decided to call the store for better directions. It ended up we went 20 miles past the exit. So we backtracked and finally made it to our destination, picked up the dresser and headed for home.
By the time we got back home it was a little after 8:00pm. Tom missed going to the priesthood session of conference, and the day was pretty much over. What started out as a semi-quick trip turned out to be a whole day adventure.
The fun doesn't stop there. Sunday when we opened the dresser we found that the packaging material had imprinted on the top, all four corners and along the back. It is very noticeable. So yesterday I had to send an email along with some pictures of the damage to the owner. Now we are just waiting to see what they are going to about it. Yeah, the waiting game.
