A small "dream" realized

Okay, so this may seem a bit petty, but I have always had a little vision of enjoying a good set of rocking chairs on my very own front porch. Not just any rocking chairs. Oh no, not just any rocking chairs, but Cracker Barrel rocking chairs.

With the purchase of our new house last year, complete with a cozy front porch, we were halfway there. My in-laws gave Jake and I Cracker Barrel giftcards (enough for 1 chair) for Christmas, in order to help us fulfill my little dream. We had been waiting to purchase the chairs until we felt it would not be too much of a financial burden to foot the bill for the second chair, and finally did so last week after the news and blessing of a raise in salary for Jake at W.L. Gore.

With family in town for Caden's birthday, I put my brother in-law Derek, and father in-law Brian to work to assemble the chairs. THANK YOU TO YOU BOTH!!!

Here are some pics of my little joy...
