Happy Halloween

...too funny to pass by

True Story

So this afternoon my lovely husband decided to take me on a Sunday drive. It was amazing. The weather was lovely. We headed down towards Nappanee and drove up and down over a dozen different country roads. I loved every minute of it. That was until I saw it. We were heading back home when we noticed some furniture at a garage sale that looked interesting. We pulled over and headed straight for it. That's when I saw it. The dining table and chairs that I've always wanted. The full set, all eight pieces priced at less than half the price at Oak Express. Most of the chairs still had plastic on them. I could not believe it. Then my husband turned to me and said "Too bad there's no room in the budget this month, but now we know deals like this exist." Are you kidding me?!?! In one second I went from a total high to totally crushed. I couldn't believe that he wasn't going to let me us get this. I had been wanting this for YEARS and it was all right in front of me. After a while we got in the Jeep and headed home. I tried so hard to bulldawg my husband but he talked me down and kept us on track. We have a table that we can use for now. We have chairs. If we would have bought the set things would be so tight and we wouldn't have learned anything or grown at all. I love my husband ...and I've been a crabby girl all day long. We've had to put a lot of $$ into the jeep these past few weeks and then I come across this dining set... I'm still trying to figure out the lesson here.

God is good.

I had 13 inches taken off of my hair yesterday. It wasn't easy. I was so close to chickening out. I haven't had short hair in over 5 years. I'm so glad that I did it, my head is much lighter. Here's a before and an after [Carrie has a better after shot]. I'll post a better one soon.
