Cleaning Again

Jill and I dodged rain showers yesterday and cleaned out my garage. We removed enough stuff to allow me to almost put both of my vehicles inside. I think with a little more work I'll be able to do it. Jill is the master at rearranging and compacting. Today we painted my laundry room floor. We squeazed out just enough paint to finish. I really didn't want to buy a gallon just for a couple square ft. The house is going to look sharp after we get finished. I asked Jill, "What will we do after we get the house projects finished." She said, "The yard needs some work too." Go figure. A bachelor with a less than spic and span house and an unbeautified lawn. Women add beauty to the world in more ways than one for sure. I can't type any more. My blistered fingers (not really) are started to become irritated. Later. Don't forget to tell someone you love them.
Oh yeah, my little sis came over for a sleepover last night. We had a good time. Her and Jill rooted me out of my bed. I had to sleep in the basement. Fortunately, we just have finished painting and furnishing one downstairs bedroom. I didn't lose a bit of sleep. I may even sleep down there more often. It is much cooler in the basement during the summer months.

Practical Jokester

I have pulled one on Jason twice in the last week. For April Fool's, I acted like I had to work late and didn't know if I wanted to see him. I suggested he call his sisters but both of them had plans. So he went hiking in the country. I called him around 7 (I really did have to work late) and told him I just had come out of work and I had a flat tire. In reality, I was about five minutes from his house. He totally believed me and said he would be there as fast as he could. So, I immediately told him where I was so he wouldn't hike back. We met and watched the sun set that night!

Last night, Jason had a baseball game in Bland. I decided about 6 that I would head to his house and attempt to mow his lawn. I mowed and started cleaning out his garage. When he called me from the school after they had gotten back, he asked if I wanted him to come to my house for a while. I said sure, and bring the shrimp from your house too please. So, therefore he had to stop by his house. In the meantime, it had gotten dark and I was using his headlamp to be able to see outside. So, I hid behind a tree and hung the flashing headlamp in the tree. As Jason is coming up the driveway, he exclaims, "dang, Kevin (his brother) is outside working with a flashing light!" I cracked up when he said that.

Life is so fun! I'm just waiting for the joke to be on me next time. :)

I need a date, please.

Matchmaking

It is hilarious. My brother is single and everyone I know is trying to set him up. I went with my family to Mountain Surf Seafood today and Kevin was introduced to someone there. He can't escape it. He has is happy that everyone is thinking about him though. In a small town, getting introduced by mutual friends is a good way to meet people. That is how Jill and I got together, and I wouldn't trade that relationship for anything. God is truly good to those who trust in him.

Rainy Day

Well, Jill wanted me to start blogging once a week. I believe I can handle it since she has already written most things that have recently happened with us. I can just sit back, listen to the wonderful rain, and watch the grass grow. I love green. The rain is good for mine and Kevin's blueberries. Grow baby, grow!

Running

I have learned this week that it is terrible to run with old running shoes. My feet hurt last night as I attempted to run. So, I'm ordering some new shoes today. Asics are my preferred brand of choice. I believe I will order two pair, one for the trail and one for pavement/indoors. Jason also ordered a pair of running shoes today. I found a pair of Asic Gel Nimbus discounted. He needs shoes worse that I do so I'm excited that he's finally getting a new pair!

In other news, Jason and I painted again this past week. We have been working on a bedroom in his basement that needed repainting. We have the floor and walls painted. We are currently working on the trim and the door. In other remodeling new, the bathroom in the basement stopped up and has been unuseable since the weekend. As of yesterday, it is functioning again. Jason had plumbers come and unclog the drain and replumb. He also had them fix the leak in the laundry room. We are both thrilled there that won't be a puddle of water in the floor every time clothes finishing washing.
