TV

My husband likes big and fancy televisions. Since we got married we have been using my TV, which is a fine size and quality, and a TV that has followed him since undergrad that is gigantic and heavy. Today we decided it was time to upgrade our viewing standards.

We headed off to Target to take advantage of their buy a TV and get a $50 gift card special.

Our intentions, or should I say my intentions, were to purchase a 50in Vizio. Did we purchase that? Nope! My husband talked me into a 55in instead. I think he always had that in mind…

Anyways, we finally got this beast of a TV into our apartment and discovered that it won’t fit on the TV stand we previously owned. Awesome.

I decided that we were not going to set up this expensive machine and let it sit on the floor where it may tip or get knocked into, so we set off on the adventure of buying a new stand.

Let me tell you, the market for TV stands that hold a 55+ inch is WIDE OPEN! No one carries them. They stop at like, 47 inches. So we got to spend our day going in and out of stores. It was a nightmare! It took us 6 stores to even find one that would work!

Thankfully it was going to be functional enough for our space so we grabbed it up.

It was the LAST ONE!

So now we are home and I am sitting in the living room typing this post as my husband assembles the stand. It was a crazy day, but this evening when we are watching this gorgeous TV, it will be well worth the struggle.
