something i realized mid-post

well THAT was the most expensive date i've ever been on. after making a trip to the furniture store and purchasing a couch AND love-seat, david and i went out to eat. 2 reasons: 1. it's the 8th anniversary of our first date and 2. we have no food at the house. (yay for payday and grocery day tomorrow)

it's been about a month since we got rid of our couches, so it will be a nice change on saturday when they deliver our new furniture. it was the first time david and i have ever bought our couches. after we married, we moved and his parents bought us our couch. then we moved here and there were couches already here. so it's official, david and i are growing up to be adults. after the investment of our laptop a couple of months ago and now this, i feel that we can now graduate with honors from the school of big, important purchases..a diploma in grown-up-ism.

granted, we have always been, for the most part, responsible and valuable citizens. we pay our bills, don't stay up too late, avoid doing unethical and immoral things, raise our kids with manners, and above all, put GOD as the head of our lives, marriage, and family. we have recently disconnected our satellite TV in hopes of having more time together to spend as a family unit, we love to help others in need, and we eat our veggies (most of the time). so even though we may be late bloomers in relation to buying couches or computers, we've had our fair share of life thrown at us and i guess in the grand scheme of things, buying "stuff" doesn't make us any more adults than our age. because let's face it, i've witnessed some pretty childish people well advanced in their years.

so have a good night all, i'm signing off...

love, the adult who just bought her first couch :)
