So excited!

I remember back in high school I had gotten a new pair of cute ballet flats.  They were purple with a fun bow on the top.  I was so excited about them that I kept showing my friends and telling them how happy I was to have new shoes.  One of the guys said, "Geez, you're not hard to please, are you?"  Hee hee!  I always get excited about little things. It's a thing about me.  My primary love language (have you read that book?  I HIGHLY recommend it!) is gifts.  I love to give people gifts, and receive them.  It's how I show love and feel loved best.  It sounds selfish, but if you read the book, you see that it mostly means that I feel loved because someone took the time to think about what I might like, and I show love by doing the same thing.  Anyway...it's true.  It isn't hard to please me.  Someone can give me a sticker or a flower or make plans with me for something and it makes my day.  So, I have been feeling badly about our house for quite some time.  It just feels old and run down and knowing that we don't have the money to fix it up makes me feel icky.  Today Steve stayed home from work and he and I went to Home Depot.  We looked at and priced out what we would need to redo the downstairs bathroom...completely gut it and start fresh!  Even though we didn't buy anything, we picked out a new sink, toilet, mirror, faucet and flooring.  Only lighting and paint left to choose. I don't know when we will get it started/finished, but just knowing it is coming has made me so happy!  It's nice to see a light at the end of the tunnel!
