Simple.Gifts.

Recently I have learned that it's only the simple things that really matter. I hope that as you share this journey with me you will be inspired to believe the same...blessings!

Way cheaper than a yard sale...

Look at those guns!!!  Sorry ladies, he's taken!!
Today I bamboozled my husband into doing one of those things he would have NEVER EVER done if he weren't married to me.  Well, maybe he would have, but, I'm highly doubtful!  Anyhow, today we hit the JACKPOT of deals!  We scored a RadioFlyer Wagon, the kind with the built in seats and the door that opens and close, two matching lawn chairs (with the bags), a soccer ball for Ezra, a huge tote that will serve as a great toy box, and a great table for Ezra's new playroom.  The best part....it was all FREE!!!  How?  It can all be summed up in one little phrase, "one man's trash is another man's treasure".  Had the phrase said "one woman" I might have considered being the one who actually dug in the trash to get everything out, but, well, that's the way the phrase goes! Apparently a family moved out of our complex today and just didn't want to bother with packing everything, so, they just trashed it!  Lucky for me!
JACKPOT!!! He was happy on the inside...(i think)!
Actually he was probably saying,
"why did I let her talk me into this?"


To clear up an confusions no one was actually IN the dumpster...everything was just sitting right on top hoping, begging, calling for me to come rescue it and give it a new home! Now, I don't see a trash digging career in my future and I'm absolutely certain that my husband isn't seeing one in his, but hey, you only live once...right!!!  At least one day we can look back and say to our kids, "remember that wagon you loved so much..."

It was great day!  And yes, after this activity Curtis had a shower and I washed my hands!  Currently, everything is in storage until we move!

I have such a great hubby!!!!  He's so good to me and will do anything for his boy!  Even dig in the dumpster!  In addition, I must say, "thank you Jesus, for the little moments in life that bring about such great JOY!
Digging for treasure!!
