Family Reunion
Only one more hour at work…and then Jared and I are off for a weekend in Iowa with the family. Every other year we go to this big family reunion out there. It’s in the middle of nowhere, but it’s always a lot of fun. I’m just excited to be with family for a whole weekend. We get to see grandma and my brothers and my sisters and my nieces and nephews….good times! I cleaned around the house all last night. I figured it might be nice to come home to a clean house. It took me all night, but every piece of laundry is clean and every floor is swept and mopped. I don’t mind cleaning, especially since it’s my own house. I worked outside on our porch a bit too. Jared let me get a wicker set for the front porch this week…so I worked on getting that organized as well. I’m really happy with the porch. I’d like a few more little things done with it, but I think it looks pretty cute now. I put the park benches (which used to be on the porch) on the back patio. I put all of the geraniums around them, and it’s been really nice to have some seating back there around the grill area. We’ve also (slowly) but surely been painting the back entry way. The old knotty pine is slowly becoming a nice pale butter color. I’m not a big fan of painting tall ceilings, so it’s taking us a awhile. Some day though….we’ll have a really fun French inspired back entry! Anyway…I better wrap this up. I have a quick meeting with a student and then I’m off to pack up the car! Adios!
