Big Score

This year for consignment sale we did things a little differently. You see the last 2 consignment sales I have brought all the goodies home to show Brandon. I get so excited to show off all the great deals I had found, however; B doesn't share the same excitement. He doesn't like what I bought. Usually saying something like "it looks too worn" or "it looks like it's been washed a thousand times" So after hearing this one too many times I decided he was going with me. B really does like to shop so he wasn't uncomfortable going at all. Once we got there I noticed lots of men there shopping with their wives. So he wasn't alone.
We found so many great things. The one thing I noticed was Brandon's budget was way bigger than mine usually was. So of course we got some great stuff. I really like going with him so we may make this a twice a year tradition.
Here's the loot.
6 pairs of jeans
2 jackets
1 pair of pajamas
5 shirts
5 outfits
2 pairs of pants
1 sweatshirt
1 pair of boots
all for $161 This isn't his entire winter wardrobe. We still have a few more things to get to get him through "the not so cold" cold months.

God Gave Me You

I've been a walking heartache.
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be.
But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm goes through
And I need You
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you.
There's more here than what were seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You'll always be love's great martyr
I'll be the flattered fool
and I need you
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you
On my own I'm only
Half of what I could be
I can't do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I could baby, never undo
God gave me you, God gave me you, God gave me you.
I love you Brandon Hayes. You are my best friend and the best Daddy to Karter. Thank you for the last 5 years of marriage. Here's to 55 more.
