Service scores!

Here is the beautiful bench that I scored from volunteering to serve a sister in the ward (Laurel Macquarrie). I just didn't realize when she meant cleaning out her house she was meaning all of her stuff too . I showed up with a broom and rags and everyone that was there was claiming what they could grab. By the time all her 30 plants and other fun and cool furniture was claimed my good fortune finally kicked in and I happened to come across this unnoticed bench because it was luckily behind the front door! I asked the sister if this bench was available and she said "Oh yeah,please take it."I was so grateful and excited that I felt I was bringing home a trophy from a victory of beating the odds of all who were there to help clean out her home. It's a game of claim or be lame.just kidding.haha I really enjoy collecting second hand-me-downs and prefer them to new stuff. Because it's either cheap or free 99!!haha My home is literally decorated of the scores from others homes and this is my catch for the week. It is always wonderful to be in the Service of the Lord because he is always in the service of you. Service scores!!

P.s Thankyou to my Husband for coming with me this day and being the only man there. What a great sport! Also Thanks to Rosie McDaniel for watching our girls.It was so weird to not have them with us but it was great for Dustin and I to have that time to serve.
