My Fabulous Finds

Posted by Kendra Tapie at 12:47 PM

I love making nothing into something.....
So Nick and I went to the Beltway garage sale last night for the sneek a peek night and bought some GREAT stuff!! We just bought new couches for our living room last weekend so we were on the look out for coffee tables that we could refinish. You can't see the coffee tables that well in the pictures but I will put updated refinished pictures soon. We had a lot of fun hunting :) Total cost, we paid $42 dollars for all our treasures!

Here are our fabulous finds!

Family Vaca

So, I've decided that I'm not so good at this blog thing although I really enjoy reading others :) I know that I have much to say and experiences to share, but while thinking about typing it all down makes it harder for some reason. I do have some really awesome stories though!

Anyway, this past Easter weekend, Nick, Donny, Kyle, Amy, and I went home to Carlsbad. We visited the famous Carlsbad Caverns while we were there too. It is so much fun to go to. Here is a picture of the inside. It is about 1,300 feet underground and about 150 miles long inside! CRAZY huh!!! I couldn't stop thinking about how big God is and how awesome He is that HE created all of this! If you are looking for a place to vacation..... you have to see the cave!

New Reading

This is the book I've been waiting two weeks for to come in the mail! Lately the Lord has given me dreams every night. Normally I'll have dreams and sometimes remember them but I'm now in a season where I'm getting dreams and the Lord is speaking to me through them. I heard about this book from a trusted friend and am just starting this one. It is so awesome how the Lord can use your hours of sleep to talk and tell you things! SO MUCH FUN!

Suggestions:

Ok so as I was cleaning my house I thought I could blog about this issue, since I am learning how to do this and want to be an overachiever by blogging twice in one day :) I have these two windows in my room and am trying to decide what to do with them. I would LOVE plantation shutters, but with the cost, that is not an option. It would be about $500 just for plantation shutters for these two. No!!! We are not going to do that. So, my second thought is to put Roman Bamboo Shades. What do you think?

So hello everyone! This is my first blog. I've had this account since November and haven't figured out how to use this! Because it is FREEZING outside and have nothing to do (Nick is at work today) I figured it would be a good time to finally figure this blog stuff out.
