Happy Bday to Justin

By reading the subject line I’m sure you can tell that today is a very special day…yep…it’s Tuesday 😉 hehe j/k honey. Today is Justin’s bday! He has caught up to me for now hehe. It was just too bad that he had to work today. I’m hoping to take him out for his birthday. That is, if the weather lets up some. He was getting close to figuring out where we were going so I had to change things up a bit. I hope we don’t get lost 😉

Happy Birthday Honey! Enjoy your last b-day as a “single” man hehehe hahaha

I love you!

almost done

Before I start describing yesterday I would like to take a second and thank CoolB for all the nice comments I’ve been getting. I asked Justin about you and he says you are pretty Cool…B 😉 Sorry, that was pretty corny, hehe. Anyway, thanks for reading my blog 🙂

Yesterday my dad came around 12:45pm in a Uhaul truck. It was a lot nicer than the original one we had when moving in (this one had brakes) haha. My dad took me to subway for lunch (unfortunately we didn’t get to see Jerry there hehe), I’ve got to stop with my corny comments.

Justin was able to rearrange his schedule at work to get off for the afternoon so we all worked together and got things loaded up in the Uhaul. Our realtor called and said that he would unlock the house we’ve been looking at so my dad could see it. He loved it! Unfortunately the owner only came down $2000 on the house so as of right now it isn’t looking good but we still have lots of hope and prayer.

By around 6ish Justin and I had gotten all the little stuff moved into his house and put in boxes to be stacked for awhile. And last night, for the last time, Justin brought me home. He helped me build a bed out of the couch cushions in my room. He tucked me in too 🙂

Tonight looks like a night for cleaning the apartment. Most everything is out of mine now except last minute necessities. I think tonight I’m going to go to Heather and Tabitha’s to sleep. I would stay just one more night in the apartment but Jennifer’s family is coming at 8am and I would really like to catch up on some sleep. We’ll see I guess…

Tonight is the dinner at Ruby Tuesdays with the church group. I hope it goes well. I know the food will be great hehe.

Please continue to pray for us as we try one more time for the house.

moving

Well ladies and gentlemen…the day has arrived! It is moving day for me, the first of two this Summer. My dad is expected to arrive at 1-ish this afternoon in a Uhaul to take my furniture, etc. back to Brevard until Justin and I can come up with somewhere to put it. The hope chest and entertainment center will go to Justin’s.

Last night Justin, Jennifer, and I spent a few hours cleaning out the kitchen and deciding who had what stuff. Now all of my stuff is at Justin’s and surprisingly it all fit in the cabinets.

I will be spending tonight and tomorrow at the apartment and then it will be “good-bye” to Woodland Ave. and off to stay with Heather and Tabitha. I just can’t wait to settle down…somewhere haha.

Have a great day!

keep praying

It looks like tomorrow morning Justin and I will meet with Kelly (our agent) to finish filling out some paperwork to make an offer on the house. Please please please say a prayer or two for us that this is where the two of us need to be. We are continuing to pray about it ourselves and know that God won’t lead us down the wrong path. I thank you for all of your support and encouragement. We will let you know as soon as we find something out.

Have a great Memorial Day!

graduation

Tonight is Stacey’s big night! She is graduating! While I’m sure she is very excited about heading to college soon I’m sure she has a few mixed feelings about leaving friends behind and the familiar school she has been in for 4 years. It makes me remember my high school graduation. It was happy and sad. I can’t believe in 5 short years things have changed so much. I am so happy for her and I know she will do well in college. I hope big brother can make it through the ceremony tonight. Don’t worry Justin she will be just fine.

Hope it doesn’t rain!

house huntin

sorry it’s been awhile since I’ve updated. With a little nudge from a friend I am finally getting a minute to sit down…or so I think…I started typing the first line 5 minutes ago. Things in the bookstore have been more than hectic lately with the start of Summer Session I. Professors have messed up orders and we have had to fix them. Students want everything at their fingertips now! Donnie won’t give us any Summer help like he has previous Summers. So, we went from 16 student workers down to 2. One can only work 830-10am (the slowest time) and the other can only work 12-2. So we have had to answer the phones, run back and forth to the front and do our own jobs along with ship an average of 100 packages a day.

Enough about that…what I”m really writing about is exciting…at least for Justin and I. We are looking for a new place to call home (after September 25th that is hehe). There is one house close to our friends’ Meagan and Brandon that really just needs some love and ….paint. it is covered by overgrown bushes and trees and really doesn’t look all that appealing on the outside. We were able to go see it earlier this week on the inside and wow…what a hidden treasure. Yes, it will need some wall paper taken down and some cleaning but it is huge and a little old but comes with a nice newer stove, microwave, and dishwasher. One of the first things I saw was the window seat in the living room. I’ve always wanted one. It really just felt like home walking in it. It has a big basement that will be Justin’s playpen and plenty of storage. We have tried to look at other houses and it seems like we’ve been to all of them. None of the others give us the feeling of “home”. Pray for us and please feel free to share your opinions and advice.
