i can't wait until tomorrow night. that's when josh gets home. :-)
people at the airport sunday probably thought he was going to be gone for months based on how hard i was crying.. when in reality he was only going to be gone for 2 days. but we haven't been apart overnight in almost 2 years. this is my last night alone. i can't wait until tomorrow!
i've been working hard to get the house nice for him. cleaning here and there. but mostly getting a bunch of stuff hung up and the living room and kitchen decorated. i usually count on him to hang stuff up for me, but he's so busy with both his jobs and having to travel and all.. i wanted him to be able to come home to a clean house with not much to do.
OMG i love our kitchen. i think of every reason i can to be in there. it is sooo beautiful. it's turning out so much better than i even imagined. i've got my black shelves up with my beautiful plates and mugs on them. i bought a really cool vintage looking clock for the kitchen. and i bought a chocolate brown table cloth with a chocolate brown scarf for the window to match. i haven't decided on table decor.. i'm still trying stuff out.
we put up really pretty sconces on either side of the laundry room with candles. and i put up a jar candle holder that is really neat looking and a memory board up. omg it's so cute. there's still so much i need to get. and once we get the ceramic tile behind the countertops it will be AMAZING. with the dark tan walls and the way it's decorated, our kitchen looks so fancy. (as fancy as it can being that we don't live in a mansion)
but now we've got my pretty mirror hung up in the living room and i hung one of the black shelves. (screwed up the wall for the other one and josh will have to fix it lol) and i got the Longaberger wrought iron shelf put up. that looks really pretty.
i'm just so excited b/c finally, after a year, our house is starting to come together. it doesn't take much.. just the effort. now if we could just find the hinges, i could finish the cabinets. and then all we would need is closet doors (lol @ still not having them) and our house will be pretty much done! (inside)
outside there's still so much to do. we need to pressure wash it again. and we're taking our shutters down and cleaning and painting them. plus we'll have to paint our front door to match. (which hopefully we'll be buying a new one) and our back door needs replaced.
this year i have so much i'm looking for at garage sales. i want to find an old piece of furniture that i can use for a vanity in my room. and a really cool old vintage chair to use at it. and i'd like to find a chest or something to use for my magazines, pictures, blankets etc in the bedroom. plus i'm still not done painting and stenciling our bedroom furniture.
i love to find old, vintage stuff at garage sales and make it look beautiful. i didn't start until late last summer, so i should be really successful this year. hopefully i'll have enough time off work to do it.
that promotion should be up for grabs in about a week or so. they found my outages, so i'm good to go. hopefully my boss wants me for the spot. we'll see i guess. it will be nice having the extra hours and possible pay increase.
tomorrow i'm going to go see my grandma. i need to clean in the morning b/c when i get back it's time to go to the airport.
OMG 2 weeks till our 2 YEAR anniversary. i think my favourite thing is when someone called it a *shotgun wedding*... i'll never forget that. people are so quick to judge. but josh and i are still as much in love today as we were 2 1/2 years ago. nothing has changed. things have only gotten better. i can't wait for our future together.
and now i can't wait for it to be in our house because we're making it so beatiful!
i suppose i should sleep. the quicker tomorrow comes the better!
