At the beginning of this year, Joe put me on a more thought out budget. One that included the fact that I no longer worked outside the home making money, as well as little junior. I am doing pretty well and I did add some pieces of furniture to the house in December/January that did cost, the most expensive being for the baby room.
Then two Saturdays ago, I spotted this beautiful couch at B & L Heller’s neighbors drive-way.
It was love at first sight and more so after sitting on it. There was a sign saying it was only $25. I was really excited about it and asked Joe if we could get it. He just asked one question, “Evie, how are you going to get it to our house?” I sadly realized even with all my nerdy skills, there was no way a love seat would fit in my very small Honda Civic. I was still hopeful the next day and left a phone message with the neighbors (M). To my delight, M called me back on Monday and asked if I still wanted the sofa. I said yes, but sadly had no way to pick it up. She told me it was okay, because her husband had loaded it up in his car, wanting to get rid of it that day! So, when Joe arrived home on Monday night, I had a new love seat delivered all for free!
