Score!

That is what I say to my major findings yesterday! As I drove home from taking the kids to school, I past a neighbor's house up the street that recently moved back into their home (they were in Hawaii for 2 years and rented out their house while they were away, life is rough eh?) and I noticed their nicely stacked pile of folded-up boxes.

I couldn't resist.

I did a u-ee, parked, and rang the door bell.

Then I rang the doorbell again. ('cause I'm just persistent that way)

And persistence pays off! They finally answered the door (I don't blame them, I never answer the door for only one ring!) and gave their consent for my taking away their boxes.

Score #1, a nice big load of moving boxes. Now, I'll need more before we move, but it's a nice start!

There are a few things I am wanting to get the girls for their room once we move. One thing is, I want to get them a bunk bed. I was holding off until we knew for sure what kind of house we'd get, whether the girls would have to share a room or not. Turns out they will be sharing for a while longer, so a bunk bed is a must since their room isn't on the large side. So, I've been scouring Craigslist for a inexpensive bunk bed. One popped up yesterday morning at a great price (including one mattress - I only needed one! how awesome is that??! God is so good!!). I jumped on the listing and secured it for pick up later that day.

Score #2, now the bunk bed sits in pieces in my garage waiting for yet another move before it gets assembled. Mae is very excited! It is one more thing for her to look forward to when we get the house.

I'm excited, too, at my scores for the day. I wonder what today holds???
