Happy Happy Happy!

"I'm making this for Mommy, so it has to be extra perfect."

I'm in my "mom chair" (Coincidently, the only chair in the house that my cat thinks that she has free reign to sharpen her claws on..)  when I overhear my husband say this to our children.

The smile that spreads across my face isn't controllable. I get the very best! How awesome is this?

Earlier that day I had casually asked if it was possible to make my desk more attractive, we're moving into a new house and I really want to try to spruce things up a bit!

I got my desk second hand (well, to be fair, it looks more like I got it fifth hand...), when I was accepted into Berean School of the Bible. I *needed* a desk. It was important to me. A symbol.

So I said to Josh "Do you think it's even possible to sand it down and add a little paint?" And his response was "Yes!"!

He asked me what color I would like, (Pistachio Green) and put on a face mask and got started!

I was in complete shock, and so, so grateful! I have to be honest though, while I didn't doubt my husbands abilities in the least, I doubted this desks potential. I had no idea it could be beautiful!

And what is extra special, is while the Hubbs was at the store, he found these stencils on clearance and grabbed one for my desk.

"With God, all things are possible"

Overhearing him confiding in the children about the extra love that he was putting into the desk is something I will never forget. Unfortunately for him, now that I know the work that he's capable of doing....well, let's just say he has a list. A kinda long one.

 

Yay for International Happiness Day! My desk makes me happy happy happy!
