Last night, we got home from church, greeted Daddy with our usual shower of sugars and snugs, and then we all ate a late dinner together. After putting the girls to bed, David and I listened to the last few minutes of Focus on the Family on the radio, and then we watched a little television. I noticed our bedroom door was pulled closed, but I guess I didn't think too much of it. It wasn't until we were going to bed, and I opened the door that I saw....
our new bed!
My precious husband has been 'sneaking' away on the weekends to buy wood, cut it, stain it, and create this beautiful new bed for our anniversary! I thought David had been getting 'called in to work' a lot lately, but he was really working on our bed at a friend's house. He also picked out this entire bedding set all by himself. I couldn't help but cry at this incredibly sweet surprise. (Later, I also laughed about all the 'stories' he has been telling me over the last few weeks so he could slip away to work on this secret project. One Sunday afternoon he told me he was going to get a haircut and four hours later he came home with no haircut. wink!)
The girls also love the new bed! They were very excited to come climb in with us! (And I cried all over again this morning... God is just so good to me. )
The Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
-Genesis 2:18*
* I am so incredibly thankful that God chose me to be David's wife!
Wow! It's so beautiful! What a wonderful husband you have! He has a pretty amazing wife, too, though;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift! That was a creative idea! I better not mention it to John for a while. Thanks for sharing your pictures of your new bed with us. He did a wonderful job!
