    I will be posting pics soon. I saw the sale listing on thursday, had my husband (World's BEST) call that night and had it home by saturday night. I just have to say I really do have THE World's BEST Husband. If brownie points were dollars he could almost pay off the national deficit. He has been working 12 hr days since December but got the chance to take off early on friday so after being up since 4:30am he got off at 3:30pm and we were headed to Stone Mountain Georgia by 4:15pm from Illinois. He drove until 11pm then we stopped for the night. He just doesn't like to let me drive and I offered several times. Anyway, we finished the last two hours of the trip the next morning and were on our way back by just after noon Saturday. I think I have just lost EVERY argument we may have for the rest of our lives! He has this to pull out every time and I don't think I can trump this.
