well, today was my last day of work at my first "real" job. i will start my next job next monday. oddly, i am not feeling that...happy, liberated, free, etc. all the feelings i'd imagined i would feel. i just feel confused. i think cuz i'm tired. i'll probably feel better about all of it tomorrow.
i am extremely excited to be a stay at home wife for the rest of the week. i have grand plans to make apple pie, nuggets (healthy breakfast muffin things), maybe some cookies, probably some good dinners that require more than the usual 20-30 min prep time. i just really love having time off when david is working so i can focus on doing things like that for him. i would also like to explore my options of gyms/health clubs on the NW side of indy. thinking about joining the YMCA cuz it is new and literally right next to my new job. i toured it this evening. pretty cool. not a drastic drop in monthly dues as i was hoping, but no sign on fee...
tonight we went to church for a "worship encounter". i think this was the first one and it was really awesome. it really put us back on focus, worshipping God, rather than just being busy like we are normally on a weeknight. we all sat in a circle, sang songs, prayed, shared our favorite bible verses with a small group of people, only one guy who we knew before this evening...that was fun! dave's fav verse is the one from our wedding day - let your yes be yes and your no, no...mine is pretty much all of Romans 8 - parts like verses 27, 28, 30, 31.
after spending much of last weekend cleaning, organizing, and purging the house, i am at it again! i finally cleaned the grungy microwave tonight. it was so bad that it smelled whenever we used it. then i had david get in the attic and clean out all his misc. car parts. i will be listing them and some other random things from around the house on ebay tomorrow (or tonight if i get a 2nd wind). i am really starting to imagine what it will be like to pack up and move and i'm not liking what i see. we have accumulated WAY TOO MUCH JUNK for 3.5 years. it's high time we let go of some of it.
while he was up there, he got down all the individual boxes for our place settings of china. all 16 of them. tomorrow i will box each place setting up. i suppose if we happen to have a large number of guests over sometime before we move, we can just use paper plates. it will be a time consuming job to pack these place settings up and i'd rather get it over with.
he also pulled out 2 large garbage bags full of XS cans from the attic. he had saved them to make a christmas tree ornament once. that didn't work so well, but he still wouldn't get rid of them. tonight was trash night so i said, "how convenient." he talked me into not putting them on the curb but taking them somewhere to be recycled. that is a good idea i suppose. but then he lunged onto the bags, and said "I saved you for at least one more night!" hmmmmmmmm.....this whole XS can collection thing is strange to say the least.
