today we bought a mattress. this is very exciting considering that the last 3 years we have been sleeping on a futon (yes, for real). mattresses are expensive (goodbye, $640). And for now we will be putting it on plywood and cynderblocks.

i want the malm bedroom set from ikea. not too expensive and has clean lines. We are planning to move in 6 months, though so i am waiting to purchase this until afer we move.
