(no subject)
So I was late (very late) to work this morning because a certain loving husband (who shall remain nameless) forgot to reset the alarm for me. But I'm not bitter... At least I have really cool bosses who understand when these things happen.
So much has been going on lately. We finally moved back into our house last week after having to stay at Mom and Dad's for two weeks due to the mold and kitchen remodel. The kitchen looks just fabulous... it was a really nice experience getting to pick out all the colors and stuff, and I am really loving the way it turned out. The only sour note is that I am not exactly thrilled with the quality of craftsmanship from Barin, but since it's not my place and we aren't paying for it I don't really have much room to complain. In fact, I am just extremely grateful that Grandma let me pick everything out. That makes staying there longer or eventually buying the place much easier to handle.
We had to clean the whole house like crazy once the work was finished because there were mold spores and dust everywhere, and we organized and got rid of a lot of stuff in the process. Now our clutter is starting to creep back, and we can't let that happen. I am tired of living in a messy house. Not dirty, just messy. So I am going to work really hard when I get home today on cleaning up, and we are not turning on the TV the rest of the week. I don't think we have anything planned for this weekend since we are trying to save money, so I am going to try to take some free time to put the house back in working order. I just want to stop it before it gets out of hand. It is so much easier to enjoy relaxing in a clean home or even to have a good time going out knowing you aren't coming home to a mess.
We are going to be having people over as soon as I have a chance to call everyone and put everything together, I want to show off my spiffy new kitchen! I still have to get some curtains, I am tired of that window looking so bare. I also need to call Aunt Becky and see when she can help me recover the sofas. We steam-cleaned them on sunday and they look much better, but they still aren't the color/pattern I want. I'm not really into the whole southwestern style/New Mexico style they've got going on.
So last month I though I might be pregnant... don't really want to go into details but thankfully found out I'm not. It's not that we would be upset if we were, but we just want to wait a little bit longer. I know there will never be a perfect time, but we at least want to take care of some things financially first. I especially would like to be able to save enough money up so that I could take a couple of months off without it being an extreme hardship. I don't want to have to go back to work immediately. I am really grateful that I have a job where I could bring a baby with me though. That makes a big difference. If I though I would have to put our kid in daycare then I would rather not have them at all.
We are in the process of figuring out where we want to go for our Anniversary this year... Hopefully it's either going to be Maui or Whistler. Either one would be a blast. Whistler would be cheaper though. Plus we wanted to go there for our honeymoon but couldn't afford it, so it would be fun to go this year... otherwise I think we'll go next year.
I guess that's about it for now, there'a so much else to talk about but I'm too tired.
