Oh Happy Day! I got my very own chest freezer! I have been scouring craigslist for weeks now looking for a small-ish freezer. I just happened to look on Ebay on Thursday night, and I saw the beauty above. I snatched it up the next day for only $29.88. I was tickled pink.
Since we had to pick up the freezer ourselves, we borrowed my in-laws' van. Ben surprised me and made a date out of the occasion. Let me just say, I don't remember the last time Ben and I went on a date alone and to a restaurant where we sat down and ordered our food. I think it has been since before we moved to Ohio, so I guess about a year and a half. Ben's boss (a church member) graciously offered to watch Grace for us, and we had such a nice time.
Ben used to tell me many times, "Good things come to those who wait." It's not Bible, but it's a wise proverb. Waiting for things that you desire makes you appreciate them even more once you get them. That has been true for me in marriage, child-bearing, and many other areas.
I am very thankful for this little freezer because now I can stockpile meat, veggies, and hopefully try my hand at OAMC (Once a Month Cooking). I am also thankful for a wonderful husband, who understands the security of living within your means, but I am also thankful for the occasions when he spoils and surprises me!

Wow, what a great price! I hope to get a chest freezer someday...and I will surely appreciate it, because I expect I'll still be waiting a while (no space for now!)
Happy Thanksgiving!

That's great! My Christmas present this year is supposed to be a deep freeze! I can't wait to get it so I can start stockpiling freezer items. Stockpiling pantry items has saved me so much money already. I'm so excited for you!!!
