Saturday September 2
Well its official!!!!!! Rodney and I are officially living together!!! Living on base isnt all that bad - Im really starting to love our cosy 3 bedroom place! A few rooms are still in semi chaos. :)
Our bedroom is done - I LOVE OUR NEW BED!!!! Thank god for Queen Sized beds!!! So much room! ;) We are currently saving up for 3 dressers - I cannot believe the amount of clothes we have! And we are purging down too!
The bathroom is done - I have too much crap and I am well aware of that. I do want to get a few cute little photos for one piece of wall that is pretty bare.
The offie is coming along. We are getting 1 (or 2) bookcases tommorrow for all of my text books etc. I think Im going to try selling some of the ones I know Ill never use again. I wonder if AU buys back? hmmm
Justin's room is complete chaos!!! The futon isnt together and there is a miss mash of everyone's in there. We are getting new nuts and bolts tommorrow so the futon is going up tommororw or Monday for sure.
The living is awesome! I love it. Just the fish tank to set up. We are getting a stand tommorrow.
The kitchen is almost done. We just need the table and chairs from my dad - the table is FIXED!!! We are also looking for "kitchen wall art" Its not easy to find.
The basement is total chaos - I hate going down there. People weren't kidding when they said that when you marry a soldier you marry the military....there is SO much cam. pattern stuff and army green stuff I want to just burn it all!!!! hehehe But we are making progress. He is taking some things into work to store there and taking other stuff to the army surplus (the stuff that is out of date)
So...I have offically decided to NOT do an at home day care. We went over our finances and although we are not having a joint bank account, we are going to support each other. So I am going to work part time (I have an interview on Tuesday) and then Ill be putting up tutoring signs. Im also going to contact some of the local principles around to see if any of them can hook me up. Our biggest thing is me finishing my degree and then working on a B.ed. Im really excited for all of this happening. He has been such a great source of support in leaving the Nanny job and ensuring me that things WILL work. Not everything is fueled by love. Im still thinking about a living contract.
All in all..the last little while has been really stressful - including some things that arent talked about in this blog out of respect for a little 8 year old boy. But all in all...I feel 100% supported and supportive in a relationship - something I have never felt before. Its damn scary but feel amazing.
Speaking of amazing - Rodney's cooking dinner and it smells AMAZING!!!
