New Computer, New Couches, New House! Oh My!

This post may seem like I am bragging, and I am really not intending for it to sound like that at all. One of the reasons I started this blog was in order to use it as sort of a journal. To chronicle for myself the goings on of my family so that in years to come I can look back and remember the things we can so easily forget. So if it feels to you like this is an inappropriate post in any way and you don't want to read it, I totally understand and will not be offended.

So, my husband is pretty amazing and got our taxes filed early, like a boss, resulting in the fact that we already have our refund in the bank. And it's a big refund. We are so very blessed by the Lord! Sean has also been thinking smartly about how to spend our refund. Purchasing a few things we need/want, setting some aside for our Disneyland trip next year, and also putting a large chunk away in our savings.

Two of the items we have purchased are, new couches and a new laptop. We had a MacBook Pro for a few years and it was great, but we had been wanting a MacBook Air ever since they came out several years ago. So, that is what we got! It is AMZING! The other purchase is new couches. We went to a locally owned furniture store yesterday (Garrisons) and picked out a sofa and love seat and had it customized to our taste and color scheme. They won't be ready for about 4 more weeks, but we are super excited. Also, we purchased a brand that is made in Oregon, which is really important to us, we try to buy as much local as we can.

And not that this has anything to do with our tax return, but we are also putting our house on the market next Monday (the 24th) and looking at buying a different house. Something bigger and more accommodating to our needs. The house we are currently in is wonderful and we love it; it has suited us well for the past two years. But our needs and desires in a home have changed and we are currently in a place financially that allows us to look for something different.

So, lots of exciting changes currently and on the horizon. And through it all we are seeking what the Lord would have for our lives. We don't want to do anything apart from following the wisdom and guidance He imparts to us.
