Ikea is about 35 minutes away from our house, so usually we go when we really want/need something for the house. First day was a purchase, second day was a return. And boy, our buttons were pushed on the second day!
The parking lot was a zoo, and Casey was being quite the agressive driver as he was not happy with the situation. Then once we headed inside, the line for returns was insane and there were hundreds of people milling around inside......... this was the point where Casey leaned over to me and says........
"Ikea must be Swedish for Ultimate Relationship Test"
I laughed inside, but also knew that he was somewhat right! So many couples, just like us, head into Ikea or any other home furnishing store to find belongings to make their home....well, homier and more like them and their personalities.
At times, Casey and I do not agree on style/fashion/interior design/art. So whenever we do it is a miracle and usually an immediate buy. There are other times where I will think it will look great and he has no idea--obviously I am a little more visual when it comes to things of the matter. Those times are harder to convince him, so sometimes we make the purchase and he is usually shown proof that hey, that really does look good! (Ask him about this and he will most likely tell you that it was his idea all along.)
Anywho, the trip turned out to be a success because we pulled together as a team, while he handled the return and I ran around the store trying to pick out the exchanged items. Teamwork all around. That's what it takes sometimes......especially at Ikea!
