Christa 's Diary Entries

February 14, 2003

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Nothing real special planned in this house. Don did get my some very beautiful flowers, and the vase is just as gorgous. Then took me out to dinner. Nothing fancy, but just us going out was good. We also went looking at SUV's. I am really hoping that there is nothing major wrong with the Grand Am, but we are searching the SUV's just in case. Kind of a plan B if you will. I would LOVE to have a SUV, but we just paid off the car, and I would really like to enjoy no payments for a while. We also found out today that in 2 years we will be able to get our own home again. Oh GLORY! I would love that! And so would the kids.

A NEW BED
~~~~~~~~~~~
Not only do the boys have a new bed but we are moving into a bigger townhome. Finally 3 bedrooms! The boys will still share a room, but that third room will come in handy for a office/sewing room. The boys just got brand new bunk beds! Oh they are so thrilled! Well Austin is anyway. Noah I think is still to young to appreciate it. They are solid oak, and I only paid $120 for them. WHAT A DEAL! Now I have been searching for matteresses for them. Yeah, and that is about as fun and shoveling dirt! I was told that a twin matteress cost as low as 60 but we would need what they call a "bunkie" this is a piece of silly plywood, that they want to charge me 40 bucks for! I DON'T THINK SO! Don could cut one for each bed cheaper than one silly bunkie! And that is exactly what we are doing. Boy those stores will try to get money out of you any way they can! I even asked around on how think of plywood, found my anwsers and this weekend we are making OUR OWN bunkies. So :-P to those stores! But the boys won't get to sleep on the new beds till we move in a couple weeks. But it will be exciting to have a new room, with a new bed, bedding, dressers, and such. A whole new room! We are doing it in maroon and blue. Something simple that they won't out grow for a long time. With the age ranges of the boys it is easier this way. We are going to get some toss pillows for them with the shapes of sports balls. That is what Austin wanted. Cause I refused to do a spiderman, pokemon, etc room. He would out grow that in no time. They are reversable comforters so one bed will be blue and the other maroon. I think it will be neat.

CAN YA KEEP A SECRET?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ha ha! Tomorrow we are taking the boys to the Incredible Pizza Place! It is a place kind of like Chuckie Cheese but MUCH better, and bigger. I have heard nothing but great reviews on this place! Austin has been wanting to go, so this is his fun thing to do with the tax refund.

Christa & Austin
