shade of a lamp that i had that my son mangled.
i almost threw it out!

7. being thrifty and finding sales or making things ourselves.
it's so much more rewarding.

8. finally getting my husband his own vehicle.
God is so so good. He always knows what we need.
i no longer have to drive 30min. to take my husband
to work and back if i want the car. and i no longer have to be
stuck home without a vehicle! we won't be wasting gas!
and adding another car to our ins. and switching providers saved
us 2$ a month. and we were able to buy it outright
so no payments! it's just so so amazing i can't even describe!
thank you jesus!

hold me and wiggling his little hand behind me. so cute!
