Antique Alley

We decided to have a garage sale during Antique Alley (aka the 25 mile yard sale that happens every September and April). We set up everything on the corner of the pasture since lots of traffic would be passing by. We have been gathering things for awhile and it felt good to get that pile of junk out of the house.

Coy contributed a few things to the garage sale. (2 shirts, a pair of Wranglers, and a big puffy A&M jacket from middle school) Several times during the garage sale, he put things in his pocket that he thought we should keep. He may be a candidate for those hoarding shows on TV. :)

Coy wasn't very excited about sitting at a garage sale all day, so he had an idea to make it worth his time. He called a friend whose family has a produce stand and offered to sell some of their extra produce. Coy can now add "watermelon peddler" to his resume'.

Plans

Now that we're married, the two questions everyone asks are "How's married life?" and "When are you going to have kids?" My answers are "We haven't killed each other yet!" and "In a few years". We're not in any hurry to start having kids and we have a list (Yes, I love making lists!) of things we want to do. Right now it's a 5 year plan, but we'll see how everything turns out! For the last two weeks in church, it seems like the sermon really has reminded us of our plans and how it is the best thing for us. Last week talked about how sometimes we just have to wait! It would be nice to have everything NOW, but that's not always possible. Yesterday, Russell talked about how you have to be content with what you have before you can receive more. Yes, I would love to have a brand new kitchen and a remodeled bathroom, but it works for now and I should not complain about what I have.
