Carpet is Glorious

The last few days have been pretty good at the Arredondo household. Saturday, we bought an AWESOME carpet remnant. Words can't express how excited I am about this remnant of carpet that we got from the warehouse of a carpet store across town. It obviously doesn't take much to get me excited, I know, but Peyton can finally get down on the floor and play! And she's loving it...crawling around (which by the way, she started doing this weekend), pulling up to a standing position... It's glorious!!! She's entertained for long stretches of time, and she doesn't have to be held the whole time! Marvelous! We have hardwood floors throughout the whole apartment, so the carpet was a must. And speaking of the carpet store, the man that sold us the carpet, Darrell, just lost his job a few weeks ago. This seems to be happening a lot lately...people getting laid off, or not getting any hours. It's kind of scary. We just need to trust God to keep providing for us. :)

The LORD is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made. The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. Psalm 145:17-20

On Memorial Day, Arnold and I celebrated with more day dates. Shoney's for breakfast, the mall, Magazine Street for coffee and leisure, and Frock Candy for a cute summer dress for me, and grilling out for supper. Thanks Arnold! He would have rather been at the movies, but I had a blast!

I will post a video of Peyton crawling on our new carpet tomorrow. Stay tuned....
