Painting, Rummikub & Flowers

  At last here are our painting pictures. these are the two colors we went with. I think my friend Elizabeth put it best when she said that the blueish grayish was 'yummy', I totally agree! It was lots of fun tackling this project together. We live in a very small apartment so there is not much to do in regards to projects. Jonathan is quite the handy man, I actually love it a lot. He has even built a shelf and hung it in the kitchen for us!Speaking of handy man. Last night my knight in shining armor unclogged our toilet! Haha this was the first time something like this has happened and of course we didn't have a plunger. After his brave run in the dark to grab the plunger from the garage he went to work on this nasty beast. He got it, yeppers now we didn't have to worry about what we would do in the middle of the night : )

These are the flowers we got from Costco this last Sunday. They are so beautiful! I love flowers and I think that all this warm weather and sunshine has gotten me in the mood for gardening. The only thing is that we don't have much of a space to garden in...and the deer will probably eat everything we plant. But oh well it will be fun :)

This last week has been really crazy for both of us. Jonathan works 5 days this week. 2 of those work shifts being nights. And I am working 6 days. Doesn't leave much time for anything else. Leaves us feeling exhausted at the end of the day. We have filled the remainder of our non-work time with going to the gym, taking walks in the state park (that is our back yard) playing rummikub and just kicking back to watch a movie. (The Blindside - which is a great movie by the way. I don't think I have ever watched a movie that was so heart warming throughout the entire movie) Tonight we have small group which we look forward to alot. I got up and made whole wheat banana chocolate chip muffins and whole wheat dinner rolls. I felt pretty ambitious. We also chatted with Jonathan's Oma (Grandma in Dutch) and Aunt and Dad over skype early this morning. Technology is amazing! Now I am off. Off to another long day at work, but at least I have something to look forward to at the end of my shift :)
