Thank You Lord for Craig's List :)

We have been in the market for a while for a larger table. The table we have had since we got married was Dave's family's when Dave was growing up. It has been a good table. We have had many, many hours around it. The thing is, now that Anna is almost out of her high chair (she'll be 2 in March), we are outgrowing our table. So, we began a search on Craig's List for a larger table. We have looked on and off for months, but our search began more earnestly after Christmas. Isn't it neat how God provides just what we need, at just the right time?Two days ago, we found a beautiful table that seats 8 for $50! It is just great. We are very happy with our new table, (although it is so much larger than our other table that it felt like we were eating at a medieval table and that we should have goblets from which to drink.)     :)

You really can't get a feel for the size - it is MUCH bigger than our previous one! :)

Other Happenings in the Mateer household

Dave and I celebrated our 12th anniversary on January 2nd. What a blessing that was. My parents were here and we were able to go out for dessert and enjoy some time together.

The kids are doing well. They had a wonderful Christmas with both sets of grandparents and now are getting back into school.

We are thankful for so many things - twelve years of blessed marriage, five beautiful children and two sets of wonderful grandparents. We are even thankful for finding a beautiful table on Craig's list for a very reasonable price. God is so good to us. What are you thankful for today?
