My Luxurious Haven

I am Sleep's #1 Fan! That doesn't necessarily mean that I get enough of it, but I love to sleep. I tried to warn Aaron before he married me that there would always be a fierce competition between him and my bed. He's still winning, but the bed is my second love affair. I love to crawl under that covers and feel the warmth gather in around me. It's such a comforting feeling.

I am the kind of dreamer who likes to sleep under a lot of heavy blankets, and my cute husband really doesn't like that since his temperature is consistently 10 degrees warmer than mine. While Aaron was in Germany he fell in love with their bedding, particularly the Federdecke: a large down and feather filled quilt that you put a simple cover over and that's what you sleep under. Compare that to my bedding culture of sheets, a light blanket, a quilt, and on most nights I would spread my Wooby (that's another post in and of itself) over just me. Aaron tried and tried to find a way to purchase me a Federdecke, because he was sure it would accommodate both of our bed time needs more efficiently. Then I started exploring the Great Swedish Novelty that is IKEA and found some interesting bedding options, and asked Aaron to take a look. I think he started jumping up and down when he realized they sell and authentic Federdecke and just call it a four seasons quilt. Now I will never go back! Each night I sleep under four inches of down and feathers! In fact I am writing this post from my luxurious heaven right now, and feel a sudden urge to close my eyes and spend a little time napping in the folds of my covers. Good Night, Sleep Well, Dream Better!

You know your wife loves her covers more than you when she steals them all every night! Seriously, though. The girl does love her bed. I can't lie, it's probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in.

TA DA! Now, at this very moment I would like anyone reading this to pick up you hands and give a round of applause! I don’t care if you do it in beat to your favorite song or if you only clap once so long as some kind of sound projecting from your hands...... Thank you thank, you very much! Well if you are wondering what that was all about I would like to let you know that this is my first visit to your blog Meg and Aaron and I do it all for you! May I just say that I think it is all so lovely and is by FAR the very best blog I have ever scene.

So when I saw that a picture of your bed on here I am going to be honest, I started laughing so hard that tears actually came to my eyes. Leave it to my sister to post a whole blog dedicated to her bed (FYI she hasn’t even bothered to mention her favorite sis) but then it accrued to me that the love for sleep kind runs in that family and I would probably do the same sort of thing if I had a blog. Well this is getting kind of Lengthy and the last time I checked this wasn’t called Baylee J's Blog (even though it is rather catchy):-) Well I have officially shown my support. Love you both
