Have a Seat.

Kent and I have been blessed with many things in our marriage. One thing in particular I feel we have been blessed with is furniture. Now it may not be the most beautiful, but we have spent very little money having to furnish our apartment. When I met Kent he had accumulated many couches, the desk our computer is sitting on, a bed, an entertainment center, end tables, a dryer and a washer. He had also bought a TV and DVD/VCR combo. After we were married we were blessed with even more. Money was contributed to a store in his hometown that was only short about $100 of the cost of a new mattress and box springs as well as frames. We were able to buy a nice table from our friends for $20. Kent's parents bought Braxton's crib. My sister gave us the bed frame Braxton sleeps on. I was able to buy me a piano the Christmas before Braxton was born that I would not be able to afford now. That doesn't account for each piece of furniture in our home, but we really have been blessed overwhelmingly with so much in order to furnish our home. I am very grateful for that!

I know what you mean! Brad and I haven't had to buy one piece of furniture for our house (except the crib and rocker in Izzy's room). We either had it before we got married or family was discarding their furniture or wanted us to have it. I would love a new couch and some end tables, but I'm just lucky we have something decent. Thanks for helping to remind me of that.
