Who would have thought that these chairs would be my most favorite! Most people love their comfortable recliner or their over sized lounge chair, but not me! I love my old, rustic chairs that I cut the middle out of so that I can plant them with my favorite flowers each season or use to house my Fall and Christmas Porch Decor. So, you might ask what is the big deal?
Well, here is my story !!
When we moved to Idaho Falls from Meridian back in April, we left our garage packed full with our "stuff" that needed stored. These 3 old chairs were just a few of the things left behind with all the intentions of someday returning for. When Heath got his job in Utah, I sent him and his brother to our house to gather all of our things and load them into the ABF trailer. (Bad, idea. Never send two men to gather and load your possessions!) Before they left, I gave Heath a list of things that he was to bring with him and then we had a pile of "junk" that needed to go to the D.I. Never the less, Heath took it upon himself to pick and choose what exactly he thought would fit in the trailer and left behind things that he deemed as unimportant! Well, of course my 3 favorite chairs (along with all of our baby goods) got left behind. When I realized that he didn't have my chairs I threw the biggest stink because I had specifically told him to bring the darn things! To top it off, a few days later I find out that our good friends ~ the Capell's and the Buhler's all got stuck dealing with our junk pile! Heath did not even take the things that he deemed as "junk" to the D.I. I was grateful to find out that my chairs had not been given away, but felt horrible that our good friends got stuck dealing with our mess. Anyways, Christian made a trip down to Utah for work and brought me my beloved chairs! I am so excited to have my porch accessory and still have 2 chairs to grow with!
(P.S. Each week I think of something else that is missing and am just sure that Heath decided that it was junk and left it behind! DON"T SEND YOUR HUSBAND TO DECIDE WHAT YOUR FAMILIES IMPORTANT POSSESSIONS ARE!! Hee Hee!)
THANK YOU to the Cappell Family and the Buhler Family!!
THANK YOU to the Cappell Family and the Buhler Family!!
Thanks to our awesome friends, whom I begged to save my precious chairs, Heath's "Bacon" has been saved and my "Favorite Chair" is home and back where it belongs on my porch. It has been decorated for Halloween and will soon be filled with tulip bulbs for awesome spring decor!
