Happy New Year!

Goodness but it just doesn't seem like 2009 should be over yet!  Since returning home from a wonderful Christmas time with our families, we have been working on how to make our home a more functional and comfortable space.  Mykhal and Kerrie have continued cleaning and decluttering their rooms....still not done but we have HUGE improvements.  Russ and I began looking for bunk beds so we will have room for new kiddos to sleep.  Found military surplus solid oak and steel bunks for $40 a set!!  we bought three.  Now Mykhal and Kerrie have new bed frames too.  Then we set about trying to figure out how we were going to sit everyone at the dinner table and knew we needed to have a way to get our second table in the house but we are far from ready to add on to the house yet so.....
The solution we came up with was the sectional sofa I've been wanting for the past 2 years.  We looked online and found a couple possibilities on ebay, but decided to see if we could find something locally.  Didn't think we would but wanted to try.  To our surprise we did find just exactly what I had pictured in my head in the right fabric, size, and with their "special new year's sale", the right price too!  We didn't get to pick it up yet since they don't have any in stock at the moment.  Works great for us to get it a little later in the month anyway.  Now we have time to build the shelves for the living room, wall mount the TV, and get some things re worked in the storage building to accommodate the extra things we are about to move out there.  Everything seems to be falling into place right now and we are busy bees making the most of this time of waiting.  So very glad we ended up having this time!!  God certainly does provide for even the smallest of our needs.....I am thankful we were able to see this provision and thus make the most of this time we have been given!
