At last

Yesterday was such an exciting day for us, we finally got our TAXES. I know can you believe it after filing them in February we just now got them back. What had happened is because we bought a house this year for some reason it wouldn't let us file electronically so we had to mail it in. So we did that and then got a letter back after a good six weeks saying we also need to you send in Form whatever. We did that and waited patiently then after 35 days Sean calls and they tell him that it has gone to the errors department and that it sits in there for 40 days and after that we should get out money. Well it was a lot longer than that I am not sure how many times he called them, but I know it was a lot and it was very irritating because everyone had different answers for us about where our taxes were. Well the money is finally in our little pockets and are so excited because now we are going to do a little updating in our home.

We knew that once we got our tax money we wanted to get a semi formal dining table. The table we have is small and only has four chairs which is fine, but not when you have family or friends over for dinner. Also two chairs have broken legs and that table fits perfectly in our kitchen. So yesterday morning we get up and head to the "DUMP" with Sean's mom. For you who don't know what the "DUMP" is they sell furniture, but they are only open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So we find a table that we absolutely love, but it was a little over our price range, but we were definitely sold on it. This is why I love Kim I knew that she would help us think rationally about the purchase. She told us "now that you know what you want, take sometime and look around everywhere else and let it soak in." That is exactly what we did and Sean was not happy because those of you who know Sean knows that when he goes to a place to find a table he plans on buying a table. So then Sean heads to work and Kim, Lylah, and I go to a fabric store then to Havertys. I had never heard of it before but I am in love now. We look around and there it is our TABLE and it was in our price range and better quality than the other one. I call Sean and he comes back on his lunch break and he loves it also and so we bought it. I just love it and love that eight people can sit at one table together, although we only got six chairs for now. I feel like a grown up now, haha!!! I will post a picture of it when it gets here and gets assembled which should be in approx. a few hours....good day!!!

You will have to post a picture :)

Lucky for you guys that they actually had a table for you to take home!!! Josh and I bought a new bedroom set SEVEN WEEKS ago and still have NOT had it delivered!! They said it would take up to 8 weeks. I think its about time we make a phone call and see if we are EVER going to get it!! I understand what you mean, its fun and makes you feel more like a "grown up" when you have a house and get to furnish it too! How fun!!
