Table from Heaven

Here we were minding our own business....

Seriously, we were.  Let me prove it.

I had just asked Jon to have a chat with him in the living room--just us.  We sat down and starting talking.  (Nothing serious, just marriage and plans for the upcoming weeks.)  Suddenly the door bell rang and my parent's dog started barking.  I was still dealing with my headache (thanks to being anemic) and asked Jon to quickly find out who was at the door.

Who is at the door on a Sunday evening?

Jon went outside and came back in.  Weird.  He said there was some guys outside with a semi truck full of furniture at a decent price and he was going to go check it out.  Ellie was sleeping so I went ahead and put on my shoes and a jacket and went outside with him.  (We've been on the look out for furniture and other random update items for our future home.)

He wasn't kidding.  There was seriously a group of guys waiting around a truck.  One guy inside sitting on a nice leather chair with pictures of all the items inside the truck, trying to sell them.  We looked at them and liked something in particular but didn't know for sure if we wanted to act on it or not.  We both looked at each other and asked for the price to see if it was worth it or not.

They were asking for less than HALF of the original price.  Too good of an offer NOT to look into it some more.

They showed us a chair.  We both sat in it and liked what we saw.


The guy noticed we were not quite sold on it yet, so he gave us a better offer.

We couldn't refuse.

They brought everything inside and put it together!

comes with 6 chairs

Lately we've been wanting things for the house but wanted to stay within budget.  It was definitely a blessing to get a dining room table for such a decent, affordable price!  Exciting to think of all the people we will be able to fit around this table!!

    Now that's an interesting method of selling furniture!

    Ha! Yes! We were thinking twice about it, hoping it was legit! But our neighbor said they knew someone that bought stuff from them before, and he's very trustworthy! Heck, he helped my hubby change his flat tire in a rainstorm before we were married! And by the way, Hi Rachel. How did you find my blog? I've looked around at yours and lovin it! :)

I was raised by a strict purity culture, and my father is a narcissistic sex addict

  I would like to imagine life without hidden secrets or agendas.  If my desires could be brought to life my childhood would have been completely different.   ~~~~~ Until recently, I had never heard of the term "purity culture."  When I learned more about it, everything began to come clear to me.  The harsh feelings of betrayal stood out in my life countless times upon investing in space to process all the areas purity culture has entered into my way of thinking.  Purity culture is gender expectations based on a strict stereotype.  Men are expected to be strong, "masculine" leaders of the household, church, and society.  Women are expected to support them -- to be pretty, "feminine," sweet, supportive wives and mothers.  Before I go on into more detail, I can't help but notice things from that stereotype that has definite red flags.  Never once did it mention men are to be fathers, but it surely intended on making clear to state about women becoming su

Blog Party! :)

Image
Through Facebook I have found some more lovely blogs that I love to browse! :)  The ones with stories about their kiddos are fun and inspiring.  I also enjoy reading recipes and I'm thankful for those people out there showing me what to do in the kitchen!  I'm newly married (June 12, 2010) and figuring this all out.  I never enjoyed being in the kitchen that much growing up.  I was in charge of washing dishes, and looking at all those dishes being used........so I never spent a lot of time learning how to do things.  Now I regret it daily. But back to the Blog Party!  I'm a little late but now I'm healthy enough to answer the questions!! To start off, here's a little bit about myself.  I turn 23 on May 5th.  I share a birthday with my big sister and she will be thankful if I don't say how old she is turning (shh! we're seven years apart).  I posted not that long ago a list of 100 random things about me, so go read that if you're desperately wondering.

Bathroom Remodeling & stufffff

Image
Back in June 2013 when we bought the house we knew we were going to fix up the bathroom.  It didn't come with a shower, just a tub.  However we had to take down some tile to make that happen.  There wasn't the proper drywall surrounding the tub to prevent water damage.  Plus there was a window RIGHT in the middle of the exterior wall so we couldn't just easily put a shower in.  As time went on and washing paint brushes in that bathroom (who cares if we get paint in there?) Jon started to notice a leak.  So we stopped using that sink and figured there was more remodeling to do.  At that point we said....all or nothing. Issues in the bathroom/stuff that wasn't a big deal but wanted to change to make it our own: 1. No shower 2. Leaking sink faucet onto pipes. 3. Copper pipes (updated plumbing needed!) 4. Electrical updates desperately needed 5. Poor lighting (two can lights halfway down the wall only over sink is not well thought out) 6. Exterior Window 7. Vanity
