So grateful for my Sweet Husband

       I truly am so grateful for my sweet husband and all he does for me! He did the sweetest thing the other day that I just have to share, and don't ever want to forget! So since we have been married I have been searching for couches. One of our good friends was nice enough to let us borrow his couch until we found our own. I have looked on Craigslist almost every day for the last nine months-and have even went to a few garage sales seeing if I could find some. Am I picky and knew exactly what I was looking for? Yes! So one of my good friends Whitney Kenworthy inspired me:) I love her couches-and wanted some just like it. Why do I love them...because they are White! So I was looking for a really cheap couch set that had a good and normal shape so that I could get some nice white couch covers. Well...that doesn't exist. Either they are expensive and the right shape, or the wrong shape and cheap. I was about to give it a break for awhile when I went onto Craigslist and found a white sectional couch from Ikea. Exactly what I am looking for-except I don't have to do any work because it is already covered! I wanted it so bad and sadly couldn't stop thinking about it. I went home and showed Imari on craigslist to see what he thought, and if we could maybe possible get it. He said that would be fine but that he needed to check his account first too see how much of his grant he had left. He said he would check it tomorrow morning. Well I never heard from him and I was scared someone else would beat me too it. Finally he called and said he didn't have as much as he thought, and didn't know if we would be able to. So dumb but I almost started crying....I didn't know this at the time-but he was lying too me. He could tell how bad I wanted the couch so he went onto craigslist to find the lady's # who was selling it. He went and picked it up, and had it all put together and set up in our living room by the time I got home from work. I had no clue...I was in complete shock when I walked into my living room after work. I thought I was in the wrong Apartment. He had the couch put together, a sweet note sitting on the couch, candles lit, and the lights down low! I am so grateful for my husband! Such a great Surprise!
