Highlights of Our Week

 1. Michael replaced my kitchen faucet.
The old faucet was corroded pretty bad. We knew we wanted to replace it eventually but we wanted to wait as long as we could before shelling out the money for it. Within the last month or so it has become a need to replace it. The corrosion got so bad that it became very difficult to turn it on. I thought about taking a picture of the old faucet once Michael dismantled it, but it was NASTY looking and I didn't want to ever see it again. But I took a picture of my new pretty one! 

2. A freshly painted kitchen with a color I LOVE!

Thanks to our friends generosity we were able to go buy another gallon of paint and with what was left on the gift card Michael was able to get a new pack of paint brushes!
I know it is hard to really see the color in the pictures but it is a beautiful light yellow color! The color card called it 'Corn Silk'. Michael finished getting my Wallies (the fruit wall paper) up last night. He said my kitchen looks 'girly' now but I don't think he minds too much.

3. Josiah got a playground!

It's more like a playground mansion! lol This was a Christmas/birthday present from Nana and Granddaddy to Josiah and Tadpole. J has had a ball playing on it! Yesterday he had the tire swing spinning as fast as he could then he'd throw his arms up and scream "YA-HOOOOO!" It was so hilarious! We have a toddler swing that we'll attach when the need arises. :)

4. We had a successful yard sale!
We got started late on Friday with the yard sale and didn't have a sign up for the first 45 minutes or so but we still had people stopping by! The Lord is good to us! There was another house down the road having a yard sale at the same time and they had advertised in on Craig's List.
Friday was the best day for us but we still did a fair amount on Saturday. We gave everything that we were going to take to a thrift shop to our neighbor out back so she can try and sell it in her next yard sale. :) Michael was happy to get rid of it all!

5. I found shoes that don't hurt my feet!
Sami has been telling me that I needed to get a pair of Crocs. I finally broke down and bought a pair. That was the most I've ever paid for a pair of shoes since high school! But after two days of wearing them and the pain in my feet and legs were only minimal I am glad I decided to shell out the money for them. On Sunday, I found that Crocs.com was having a sale on certain styles. Michael told me to buy two more pair! :) They should be here by next week. With the sale and coupon code for free shipping, I got both pairs for $10 less than what I paid for the first pair! Thankfully I was able to find a pair that will be passable for Church shoes. :)

Thankful and Blessed,
Joy
