First Paycheck!

Jared came home with roses on Friday after finding his paycheck had been deposited into our account and said, "I know this is going to sound dumb, but the easiest money I've ever made was working for it!". So, it has been a bit of a celebration this weekend! What a huge blessing not only to have a job and the opportunity to live in Denmark, but a job that Jared really loves. We're really thankful for how God has provided for us here and that He really knows what's best for us. Anyway, here's a few ways we blew the wad (not really!)...

As I showed previously we got this awesome bike trailer out of the "Blue Newspaper" this week. A great deal and something that we'll get tons of use out of. Jared got this bicycle from his boss who had just purchased a new one. We have a bicycle for me to use for a while, but we'll have to get a new one for me eventually that is a bit bigger.

We also got a Stokke Tripp Trapp, which is the Scandinavian highchair. As you may have guessed from the color scheme, Jared picked this out when he was shopping by himself! I can't complain too much since these are Wheaton College's school colors! The Tripp Trapp is also convertible from a baby's high chair to a chair that an adult can comfortably use. This will definitely be coming back to the US with us... and not just because of the price tag!

As an aside... if anyone is itching to visit us, you really should check out tickets for January, February, or March. I've seen good deals on Orbitz, Expedia, and Travelocity for tickets well under $400 round-trip!!
