A couple weeks ago I saw an add on Freecycle asking for a double or single bed. I didn’t think much of it and didn’t even think about the spare bed that hasn’t been used for months.

Then last week I finally clicked on and discussed it with Tim. We don’t need such a big bed, we’ll give this one away and get a single bed for the spare bedroom.

So I offered it to this person not knowing that it was going to change my life!

She replied that it would be great if she could have our bed. I gave her my address and she replied again that she had JUST moved and was living just around the corner from me.

Well little did SHE know that she was in fact living directly across the road from me, in a house that friends of ours JUST moved out of. Tim and I watched as she moved in last weekend!

Anyway I got invited over to meet her and her family. She has four kids and was having a birthday party for one of her son’s today.

When I got there, I was so excited to find out that the birthday party was for her youngest son Couper…who just turned ONE!

How amazing is that?? Jaxon just turned one three weeks ago. I am pretty excited about this. A friend for me AND a friend for Jaxon! Not only does she have Couper who is one, but a daughter who is 2, another who is 3 and a five year old son!

Usually I would run a mile from someone who had four kids. I mean I struggle with ONE child and all of the kids I do know are little terrors. But her kids are so well behaved and nice!

This is a great day in my life.
