Today I am going to the store and buying new furniture for my house. I want to buy a black coffee table, a new turquoise sofa, a plant, and a pillow. I think all of it will cost me $450. I like to buy a lot of my furniture from IKEA, which is a Swedish company.
Story
My parents met back in 1985 when they were in their 30s. They met in New York City. My mom was from Puerto Rico, and my dad grew up in a suburb outside of New York. My father was a doctor in the hospital when he met my mother. Although they were from different cultures (my mother Puerto Rican and my dad Chinese), they still fell in love and got married.
