A crazy awesome week

Paul and I worked the EXACT same schedules this week and it was so so awesome. I was able to trade my saturday shift for a thursday shift meaning I worked Monday- Thursday all 10 hour shifts and was a bit tired afterward, but that gave me Friday and Saturday with my love, we both work Sunday, and then we both have Monday off together! My momma comes monday and tuesday and we are painting the downstairs bathroom, shopping and hanging out! Then I work wed-friday and then my best friend from middle school and the maid of honor in my wedding is coming over saturday through monday! I am one spoiled girl!

Yesterday Paul and I had to drive to Tacoma to get his car fixed. Paul knows of this awesome shop that does great work and only charges 40 an hr, so since we already had the parts, we drove there to have them put in. So nice. (Even though I was originally grumpy and didn't want to go). Ps, that yellow car is sweet, and Paul loves it.

Yesterday Paul and I planted seeds as starts for our garden! We still have some yard work before we can plant them outside, but we may do some of that one Monday or hmm next saturday or something. Not something I am necessarily looking forward to if you have seen the shape the garden and side area of our yard. Lots of trimming back and weeding.

Paul bought me daffodils and put them in a vase for me by my kitchen window! I love looking at them, sooooo pretty! And when we went to the nursery yesterday Paul let me pick out a plant for the kitchen table, it makes me so happy to see life in the house.

Yesterday we set up all the kitten stuff in our excitement to see our little kittens! Oh my gosh I can't wait. It's like getting ready for a baby, except way less supplies and much more sleeping throughout the night. :) The awesome part is you can't see the litter box from the laundry room door. We were going to get one with a lid, but those were huge and wouldnt have fit there, so instead I think I am going to have my father in law help me make a table to go over in that corner so I will have more space and I wont have to see the litter box when I am in the laundry room.

And here are the kitties Paul and I want. This lady has foster kittens and we have already contacted her and get to meet the kitties next saturday. They will be fixed by the time we get two of them, (we want the Tortie and the Orange Tabby in the picture below.

And here are all the kittens together, there are six total. She takes the best pictures of them! Annnnd the best part is she says she didn't even pose them for the sleeping picture, she says:

"And nope, I didn't pose them. They were enticed by a sunbeam that was hitting the edge of the bed. They started off wrestling in it and when I came back to check on them later, they had all drifted off in a row.

In one stroke, I pet them all. This set off a chain-reaction of purrs which made the loveliest Medley melody. They stirred and stretched then assumed their positions and drifted off again."

Today I woke up and made Paul an omelette for breakfast (because on his birthday he gets up at 5:45 am and doesn't have time for a special breakfast), get to hang out with my love watching his choice: car racing, get to see my brother at his math competition, and get to go out to dinner with Joe, Amber, Steve, and Kathy and enjoy dessert at our house afterward in celebration of Paul turning 24! He want's a boughten ice cream cake for dessert so I am getting off super easy. :)

I hope you girls have a fabulous weekend!!

  1. I love the kitten whose face looks all smushed in. But you know me, I'm very attracted to ugly cats.

    See you tonight! Do you want me to bring frozen strawberries for the ice cream?
