Ask and Ye Shall Receive

We asked for a new mattress. We focused on getting a new mattress. Not just any mattress. A good mattress-a Tempurpedic mattress. We thought about it every night, we thought about it every morning. We started focusing on it around January. It's now June-but sometimes the Universe has it's own timetable. That's ok! If you look at the picture you will see Bekah sitting on our brand new Tempurpedic Deluxe King size bed! Right out of the plastic and box! We have never had a brand new bed right out of the box since we've been married! Best of all, we didn't pay for it, it just came to us! You can't tell me the law of attraction doesn't work! How you ask did we get a brand new $2500 bed without paying a dime? By asking the Universe for one! It came about in a way that I never would have schemed up. It's kind of a long story so get comfortable. It all started when one of my mom's closest friends, Denise-her mom died. Denise inherited a jeep. She did not want the jeep-she tried to get rid of the jeep-no one would take the jeep. One day she casually mentioned the jeep to my mother, and my mother said Chad loves junk-he would like the jeep. So we drove out past Bend one weekend to pick up this very beat up jeep. WooHoo I thought, lucky us-we now have this jeep in our parking lot. So there it sat, nothing happened for a couple months. Then Chad says-"let's simplify". I say, "Great! Let's start by selling the jeep!" To my surprise he was thinking the same thing. So we put the jeep on Craigs List (a great little place!). We don't get any calls on it. We decide to try one more time, and if we don't get any calls on it this time, we will keep the jeep. The next day we get a call from a guy interested in the jeep, but here's the catch-he doesn't have any money to buy it-would we be willing to trade for a mattress? Chad asks him what he is talking about while thinking, this guy is looney if he thinks he's getting my fishing jeep for his used mattress. The man then proceeds to tell Chad that he works for Tempurpedic and will give us whatever size we want brand new, not only the mattress, but the frame and box springs too. What?!?!?! Chad is shocked and amazed at this point and tells the man that he needs to come look at the jeep before he makes that kind of offer, thinking this guy must be kidding. The guy comes, is tickled pink about the jeep and tells Chad that the bed will be here Friday, and that he will come back and pick up the jeep at the end of the month. We were still a little skeptical, especially after we sold our bed last night and slept on Bekah's floor-hoping against hope that this wasn't some very mean practical joke-but the bed came right on time, and let me tell you, it is like lying in butter!(My mom hates that I said that, she thinks that is gross, but it is the yummiest butter soft bed ever!) Woohoo for the Universe and the Law of Attraction baby! I just want to say 3 things Universe! Thank you, Thank you and oh yeah, Thank YOU!
PS. If it can happen for us, it can happen for you! What do you REALLY want? (Besides a Red Bull, Jason!)
