It's the small things in life

I am writing this as our brand new (well new to us) dishwasher is running. For some reason this purchase in our married life made me very happy. I was so happy that I actually jumped in the air. Now I know that my mother and my grandmother would both say that they went years and years without a dishwasher and were fine. But I have had the luxury in my life of having one, so living without one for a time was torture. I know that this small investment in money will be a huge investment in the sanity of our small but homey apartment.
