Brett has officially been gone for 3 months yesterday! I can remember back in May I felt like August was so far away, now it's here and I pray that time will pass by fast! So far so good. I have so much going on this month, and so much to look forward to that in no time September will be here (i hope).
Brett is so ready to come home. He is such a hard worker. I wish I could be as dedicated as he is. He has worked 12 hr shifts 7 days a week for the last 3 months. He doesn't like it, but he never complains. That's what I love about him, he may be having a hard time with work, and he'll tell me about it but he never keeps a bad attitude about things. He has been a great roll model for me and his children. I only hope I can be like him one day.
I closed on our home today WOOT WOOT WOOT (I told Brett it deserves 1 more WOOT). By the time I get everything all put together and organized it'll almost be time for him to come home. YAY! Some nights I sit and think about what its going to be like when I see him step off the plane. I mean I know I am going to be beyond excited, but is it going to be awkward? What will we talk about? For the last 3 months all we have been able to do is email once a day and talk about 1 a week. It's going to be weird to share my world with him again. However I cannot wait for him be here and experience normal life again with me by his side.
Stress has become a normal part of my life lately and it is driving me insane. I cannot even explain the feeling when you are signing the closing papers on your new home. Its like a mixture of "oh gosh I'm gonna crap my pants", "What am I thinking", "YAY I am so stinkin excited!" AND "I am a big girl now". As soon as we left, i'm talkin like not even to the car yet I had my Dad call the realtor and ask when I could get the keys to the house. Your not supposed to get the keys until the papers get to the recorder (whatever that is), but I felt a sense of entitlement to the house, damnit it's mine now. Gimme gimme! The whole process of finding and buying a house it the most stressful thing EVER EVER! First you find the home you just love and then you have to make and offer, wait for the paperwork, get your loan all put together and then close. That all sounds easy enough, but its not. It took me from July 5th until today to get everything all said and done. UUHHH I'm so glad its over with. Now I have to move which just makes my insides turn and turn! I have moved oh about 8 times since 2006. I'll tell you what, I will live in this dang house until I am 100 yrs old! hahahaha even if I have 20 kids, they are all gonna have to double up in beds and maybe even sleep in tents in the yard. I will not move again after this! I will soon have newer pictures up of the house and all that jazz. I cannot wait to share with everyone (whoever everyone is). Stay tuned there will be way more to come!
