I work such awful hrs that I don't get any time to do this anymore, it makes me sad, because I am a snoop and I haven't been able to keep up with everyone else and their fun lives. So let's see how well I do.
I don't think to much has happened in our lives over the last little bit. Brett just tested to make the next rank up and that was a nerve racking week. He doesn't feel like he did a very good job, but I know different. We won't find out if he made it or not until June or July which really sucks. So I say little prayers here and there and keep my fingers crossed, because boy a nice salary increase would be good.
Here is the story behind this toolbox. Since Brett got home from Iraq and started going into Lowes to get home fixer uppers, he found this toolbox there and has dreamed about it ever since. He would literally go into Lowe's like once a week just to see "his" toolbox. He would check the price frequently and at one point it was as low as $1400. I really wished we had the money to get it for him, because it has been something he has wanted FOREVER! Well I got my tax return last week, and we went and finally bought his toolbox. This damn thing is rediculous. It has an iPod hook up station, speakers that can blow you away, a Pioneer stereo AND a mini fridge. WHAT?? a fridge. Yeah that was my first thought. If we are ever homeless we will be living in this thing. My Dad came over the night we got it to help him set it up and they both just stared at it. LAME! ha ha. I don't understand what the fascination is with this stupid thing. I told him that when I open up the screw driver drawer there better be one big damn diamond ring sitting there. heheheh. In for realness though I am happy we were finally able to buy it for him. I love seeing him smile. Even if it is over something stupid. SO all is well with Brett.
I have just been working oh about 7 days a week. Sometimes I get a day off and try to relax, but that just doesn't seem to happen much. That's ok though, I need the money and I think I'd go crazy if I wasn't as busy. I am currently patiently or should I say IMPATIENTLY awaiting my ring. I picked it out 2 months ago and I knew I had to wait until Brett could afford it. Wellllllll I know he has bought the ring, and I know that it is currently being sized and the crown reset for the diamond he bought. So I am just playing the waiting game. I hate this part. On one hand I want it to be a surprise and be shocked, but on the other hand I just think to myself that this is both of our second marriages and it kind of looses the AWE after the first one. Plus we have lived with each other for over a year now and it's almost impossible to keep secrets when you live together and know everything that goes on with each other. I know that when he purposes it will be so special and I will just love it, but damnit let's hurry it up now. I know I am a spoiled brat, but he got his toolbox so I get to be that way! At least I keep telling myself that. As soon as I get my ring I will be rushing to download pictures. YAY!
