Our First Big Purchase

Over the weekend hubs and I made our first big purchase.  Yup, we've been married for over a year and the only "big purchase" we made together was plane tickets to Honduras.  Yes, I realize that that is a big purchase, but it's not really something tangible.

What did we buy?

A television. 

That might not be the exact one but they all seem to look the same to me.

My sister's TV had been broken but they have one in their bedroom so they were content to use that one.  There is also a TV in the basement, but on the day that my hubs decided we needed our own TV, my sister and the kiddos were all downstairs so there was no TV for him to watch (he's not comfortable watching TV in their room for obvious reasons).  So, the second I returned home from work he stated that he was buying a TV the next day.

And we did.

We looked like TV fools though.  I haven't ever bought a TV, as ridiculous as that sounds.  In collage we didn't have a TV in our dorm, when I got my apartment someone bought me one of those mini-TVs that had a VCR on the bottom.  I took that to grad school and used that there.  Then in Honduras, of course I didn't own a TV, and then when I moved back here my sister already had three TVs and I didn't need/want one for my bedroom. 

And boy have TVs changed since those mini-TV/VCRs.  I didn't even know what I was looking for - I had to ask the guy what LED and LCD and all that crap was.  So we wondered around for like an hour looking at the quality of TVs and the color and a bunch of other stuff we didn't understand and then we settled on one.  Since hubsters was paying for this our of his bank account (I could care less about having a TV), we ran to the bank, withdrew the cash, and then paid for it.

In cash.

Yeah, we're those people. 

And now we have a TV and the hubsters is happy.  Which makes me happy.

And we successfully bought something that was worth more than $10. 

We're almost adults!!!
