A new couch!



So we have been on the lookout for a new couch. Since moving into our new home we have not had one. We have been using the floor and Sam's great log benches. Both have been good but not as good as sitting on a soft, comfy couch and snuggling in. I know you all know what I mean. So our dilema was that we can't really afford what we want right now but we don't really want to spend money on something other than what we want. Confusing!! Well, our dilema was solved while Sam was at work telling about our sad condition. And it just so happened that one of the ladies at work had bought a new couch and had to get rid of her old one because she couldn't get it downstairs and just didn't have room for it. She said we could just have it. Great we thought. She also said it was a great couch in great condition but that she was sick of the pattern. Well, we thought we would give it a try. So Sam and Ashtyn jumped in Grandpa's truck and drove over to get this new couch. The suspense was killing me the entire time they were gone. What was this new couch going to look like. What was her description of good condition, and what was the pattern? How bad was it going to be? Was he going to drive in and then drive straight to Goodwill and we would still be on the hunt for a new couch?

Finally after what seemed like hours they backed into the driveway. Not bad.....it looked like it was in great condition. But it was a floral pattern. Really not at all what I would ever buy but really not too bad. So we brought it in and sat on it and scoped it out. It is a really nice couch in great condition. And as Sam's family says, "It is a couch that you sit on, not in." So check it out. We now have a couch that won our dilema. We didn't have to pay any money to a couch that we didn't want. It will be great for now, and we all love it. Especially the girls. We now have a soft, comfy place to cuddle!! Yipee!

Hey what a deal. It doesn't look like Sam would have picked it out...but hey! for the price (free!) and comfort and a place to be...you did dang good. And for sure, your little girls look adorable on it. A little blessing I would say...
