Unexpected Surprises

Yesterday a very sad and tearful Becky showed up at my door. She's buying her first house and as houses usually go, unexpected things happen. She was supposed to close last week, but there was a glitch. So today was supposed to be the "new" closing date. But....there was another glitch. Thus, a tearful Becky. I think most of us who have been through the house buying process can all say we sympathize with the tears and frustrations of Becky.

While Becky told Jarom and me the story and fretted over canceling the carpet cleaners and the U-Haul truck for the second time, the doorbell rang. And who do you suppose was at the door? Why the UPS man delivering a package for me AND Becky. He couldn't have picked a better day to bring goodies in the mail.

And what was in the package you ask. (Should there be a question mark at the end of that sentence? Hmmm...) New Fall coats!!! A few weeks ago Becky saw a sale for buy one get one free in the Chadwicks magazine. Plus the offer was available on sale prices. So we each picked a $190 jacket that had been marked down to $89. And we each ended up paying only $45 total. We were pretty proud of ourselves.

But we were even more proud of ourselves when we saw how awesome we looked in our new Fall wear.
