Appliances and love...hand in hand? You decide :)

I'm going to teach Beth how to can today.  She's eaten more than one whole jar of dilly beans.  It's so humid outside I've been trying to find things to do inside. Should be cooling off a bit by tomorrow, hopefully we'll have the ranger back...she really wants to cruise around.  We bought new appliances they will be here Tuesday so I have painting to get down before then...which first means I have to remove this god awful wallpaper.  I wish Kevin would have helped his ex-wife pick out wall paper...he had to know that his new wife would HATE dark green palm trees!  We went shopping for a well needed washer and dryer....I was over the top ecstatic that we were able to find the set we wanted at a local appliance shop...then he could have knocked me over with a feather when he asked the sales guy what kind of deal he'd give us if we bought a fridge, stove, avanti microwave (that bakes and cooks with light...it's like a second oven on top...yay!) and a dishwasher...all black and touchless stainless steel.   He pulled me close and said "Merry Christmas"  Hard to believe that the reason I love him isn't  because of these "wonderful I can't seem to stop  pinching myself" moments....I love him because of who he is and who he makes me wanna be...I love him because he's so good and kind and compassionate...because his head is on straight and he doesn't pity, he helps, because he honors his mother and father, because he's a good dad...I love him because he opens his life to God and follows where He leads...I love him because he's respectable, forgiving, happy and because faults and all he Genuinely loves me in a way I've never been love...and the washer and dryer being bright red certainly doesn't hurt :)
