Tonight, it's me or the Wallpaper

Well, as the subject of this post might suggest, my Friday evening will be spent in the kitchen. Not surprisingly, our little house built in 1940 hasn't been updated much since it was constructed, specifically the kitchen wallpaper. While some may think this is endearing, I maintain my position that it is hideous, just terrible. So the white with blue ribbon and little red roses wallpaper that's been inhabiting the kitchen, has seen its last sunrise this morning. (The kitchen gets amazing morning light.) Then maybe tomorrow I'll paint it, I'm not really sure yet. Monica and Joe are coming over to help, and we'll make dinner together. I know I haven't written much about Monica, but she's basically been a Godsend since Billy has left, with her friendship, faith, and support. It's so funny how life works out, and I can't wait for Billy to come home, to get to know Mons and Joe better. Anway, I will be documenting this renovation adventure, which undoubtedly will be just as fun and interesting as past projects. Oh that's right, if anyone has suggestions, please let me know! So far, I've read fabric softener and hot water should do the trick... We shall see!

My baby is coming home!!

The end is in sight. Finally after 11 months, the last month is upon us. Since the break in May, life has been running full speed ahead. So much has changed, it's hard to believe it's only been 5 months since Billy and I have seen eachother. It seems like much, much more than that. Our reunion in May was amazing, it was like a dream. The kind of dream that wakes you up smiling, wishing you could fall softly back asleep to return to it. And now here I am, planning Billy's homecoming, which in its own right is surreal. The return date has been pushed back several times, so it's a cautious excitement that has taken over. Once November comes, I don't think there will be a happier person breathing on this Earth than me, unless it's Billy. We have learned so much, and grown so much as individuals and as a married couple in our time apart from eachother. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful, communicating, loving relationship. I'll write more soon, especially about our new house... which I just LOVE!
