Chester Drawers

The only dresser that we had for the first year and a half of our married lives

was a small 6 drawer dresser that my parents

got me for Christmas from Ikea.

 I filled it with just my clothes, so Dave was using

plastic containers to hold his things.

My parents had an old beat up dresser that had been

sitting in the carport for years. They were going to throw it away

so Dave and I saved it. We took it to my grandpa's

workshop to fix it up. This was while I stilled worked

at Gelato and I worked nights. So while I was working

Dave would head over to grandma and grandpa's to

work on his new dresser.

 He sanded,

 stained,

 fixed,

 and renewed the whole thing.

 I was so proud of him. Isn't it beautiful?

(ps growing i always called my dressers "chester drawers". It meant chest of drawers.)
