I have been so anxious about our home lately. I feel like I want to touch up and remodel everything! Perhaps, it is because I'm pregnant and nesting. I am so excited about projects and making our home a little nicer. I constantly think of the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" and of their home. It was his wife, Mary's dream home, and she spent a good part of their time, money and efforts working to make it into a home for their family. I feel like that's me!
A little over a month ago, I decided that I wanted to paint the kid's room and the toy room. Scott and I went to Home Depot about a month ago, and we browsed through color selections. I picked a yellow and green color, and then I tucked away my color choices for a day when I had money to pay for paint. I figured I could pay for the paint with an extra pay check that we get in May.
This morning, I got the feeling like I should go to Home Depot.com. It was such a strange thought, but I couldn't put it aside. I pulled up the website and saw they were having a Summer Black Friday Sale. I casually browsed their paint selection. In their clearance section they had the exact brand, finish, and colors that I was looking for. They had only shades of green and yellow, and the gallons of paint were marked down from $35 to $14 each.
I gasped. I couldn't believe it! I texted Scott at work and asked what I should do. He wrote back as soon as he could, and he told me to do it. We saved $110 dollars total!
I am so grateful that Heavenly Father prompted me to get online. I am so grateful that he is aware of me--and especially our family's budget.
