New Header

I need to change my blogs header...I'm going to add that to the list of things I need to get done this week. FYI.

So, since I have a little down time....ha ha who am I kidding I have 4 kids, do I really have down time? Let me rephrase. Since the two younger spawns are sleeping and I'm too lazy to do the dishes and laundry and cleaning I should be doing, I decided to blog about my table. Now I could blog about the crazy reunion that happened this weekend, but I'm actually waiting on a few more pics from other family members. (Sounds like a good excuse at least).

SO MY TABLE!!

Let me preface: I have always wanted a square table. I have saved for one, but I'm so stinkin picky that I never found "the one". I like the ones I looked at, but I always found a problem. The color wasn't right, or the legs were to skinny. Silly stuff. I'm one of those people that if I'm going to spend cash flow, I'm getting what I want. The quest for the perfect table has gone on since December.

Fast Forward to June. Our sweet friends the Randalls decided to pack up and move to Kansas City, Missouri. They didn't want to move too many items, so they had a killer yard sale. I drove by and saw this beauty.

Being the lazy, just had a baby person that I am, I called Janet and asked her how much for the table. She told me $25. ARE YOU KIDDING ME - twenty-five-buck-a-roos?! SOLD. After Aaron got off of work we went to the Home Depot and got some stain and sealant. Aaron also saw this as a prime opportunity to purchase a sander..go figure.

Long story short, after some sanding, staining, and TLC, we now have this beauty:

Our only problem is that our sweet friends moved before we could have them over for dinner, that and our chairs are too tall, so we are on the hunt for new chairs. Otherwise, this has to be our big steal of the year!! HURRAY!!
