Not long ago, some friends of ours asked if we had baby furniture yet.
We didn't, and they offered to give us their crib and changing table, since their youngest had outgrown them.
The only obstacle was that they live in Wichita Falls, and our vehicle isn't big enough to accommodate getting them from point A to point B.
We were finally able to temporarily obtain a large enough vehicle and coordinate our schedules to pick it up this last weekend!
We decided to meet halfway, in Decatur, for the transfer.
Dan and I got there a little bit early and decided to drive around a little bit and look for some antique shops. They had several downtown. Unfortunately, we got there late afternoon, so everything was about to close by the time we found them.
In the shop we did find, however, I found some good bargains! Mostly things to make crafts with, which will (hopefully) come in a later post!
We met our friends for the transfer, and while the men unloaded and loaded the furniture, the ladies had a nice little chat in the parking lot, despite the chilly wind! It was good to see them and connect face to face...not just on Facebook. LOL
They really blessed us with this furniture. It means so much more to us than words can say. I know I've said this before, but it bears repeating...we recognize that anything could change at anytime in this process, but when our friends stand with us in agreement, through words as well as deeds, that this thing is going to happen, it stirs my heart in such a way that I can't explain. It speaks LIFE and HOPE and fulfillment of PROMISE.
THANK YOU seems inadequate for how I feel.
Pics to come later for complete set up. For now, this is the furniture freshly unloaded in our home! YAY!!!! :)
Hey! I know those friends! :) can't wait to see everything all completed!!
