Yay for tax returns! Ours was WAAAAAAAY late this year thanks to the wonderful workings of A: the state govt and B: the clarity of the county govt. Long story short, we couldn't file our taxes until we had a SSN for Maelee, which we couldn't get without her birth cert, which we were told would be mailed to us 2-3 months after the finalization hearing in January. 4 months later I did some calling that finally {nixing the part that makes me want to curse here} got things taken care of and we finally were able to file our taxes and thus receive our return. It's nice in a way, because ours came so much later in the year so we still have it to cushion ourselves for the summer. But anyhoo... we paid off Clint's truck {yay!!} and bought a new TV and entertainment center. Yeehaw!! We are pretty stoked, and any of you who know my husband can understand why I'm so excited. LOL He's so good about only spending money of practical purchases that it took a lot of sweet talking {and finally his friend Brian talking} to convince him that this could be justified as a "practical purchase". {I'm just lucky he plays Halo and realized just how small and blurry our old TV really was! Thank you Bungee!!}
So here's the before...
...and here's the after! We're actually going to mount the TV on the wall, we just haven't gotten that far yet. Isn't it pretty?
It's amazing how much it opens up the room, too. Plus it's nice to have all our movies out of sight. SO much less clutter! I'll post a pic when we've got it completely finished... I know you're all waiting on the edge of your seats, huh? :O)

LOVE the entertainment center! And isn't it amazing how nice these wonderful new T.V.'s are!? I'm so sad that we had to take back our's, I miss our's. I'm assuming that your talking about my Brian being the one who helped talk Clint into it, he's good at talking people into things like T.V.'s and XBox's and stuff :) And congrat's on paying your truck off, I'm sure that's such a nice big weight off your shoulder's!
Yay!!! I love new, fun stuff! We are actually getting new couches and it was my husband's idea! What?! Ours are really pretty, but not as comfortable as he would like. I love when stuff like that happens! Oh, and I can't believe your post about being sick, that's crazy! Hope you all feel better and stay better!
Yeah for tax returns! It's a beautiful t.v. and that is so awesome that you paid off his truck-that is always a huge relief!
Hey, I don't even have to come over to see it, how convienent is that?! Looks great! And hip horray for no car payments!
So fun! If you guys need help with the mounting call Phil because he did home theaters for 8 years before he went back to school for Marriage Family Therapy.
