1st Anniversary

October 15, was our 1st wedding anniversary.
My husband's present to me was a second-hand china cabinet.



I fell in love with this cabinet at my favorite local thrift store -- I managed to pull myself away and pass it up the first week I saw it.  But when I saw it was still there the next week I knew I had to have it. The price of this cabinet was certainly right but getting it home would be a real kerfuffle. We have managed to fit a lot of strange things into Chris's car --an exercise bike? sure! 6 chairs? why not! a giant fluffy recliner? game on! This time though we were kind of stumped -- so the husband made some calls. Lucky for me, chris's younger brother owns a large truck and his family was only lives just over an hour away and were willing to assist. So they visited, we chatted, and my china cabinet made its way home. (He says this gets him major husband points, he's racking them up to redeem something -- I'm not sure what.) A pretty good story and exactly the present I wanted.
