Lately

Valentine's day is way past but I thought I'd share what we did. My husband sent roses to my work and they even came with a pretty vase. Side note on that: they died like two days later and they're guaranteed for 7 full days. So I told Dj to just call and get the money back, he spent too much money on them anyways, but the little stinker just got them replaced so they showed up a work again yesterday and they look much more perky and beautiful than the last ones, I meant to get a picture but I forgot. So after work that day we went out to Shin's for sushi and then got some frozen yogurt. I was actually sick, I had woken up that morning with the beginnings of a cold so I barely ate anything and I saved my froyo for later, I couldn't even muster up the energy to spend time with Dj, I went straight to bed when we got home. I bought Dj an electric razor and some heart shaped balloons, he really likes the razor, he's wanted one for a long time. He hasn't officially given me my gift yet but it's a pedicure/manicure. So next time I have the time on a Saturday or something I'll get to go in and get one for the first time! I'm excited but I just need to find a good place to go. I really want to do it this Saturday since I'm finally feeling alive again but it's our stake Temple day so we'll be gone all day.

Oh and an announcement! Dj and I are moving! We're moving to a downstairs apartment that one of the members has under their house, it's just outside of SLO at the bottom of the grade. I'm really excited about it, we've been in this studio for a long time and though I'll miss it terribly I'll enjoy having more space and living in the country again. It's a 2 bedroom (we're skipping the 1 bedroom part of marriage I guess) and it's got a wood burning stove, and the kitchen? It's beautiful! It's full sized and despite not have a dishwasher it's perfect! I can actually have my Kitchenaid out on the counter and not have to move it from the table to the kitchen every time I want to use it like I do now. So after having a tiny kitchen with no counter space for nearly 2 years I'm going to have more counter space than we'll know what to do with. The place is pretty basic and simple, the 2nd bedroom is tiny (I think a queen mattress could fit in it pushed up against the wall with a walkway beside it) and we'll probably just use it for storage. And the blessing is that it's cheaper than the place we're at now, the way the couple who owns it does it, is they ask for about 30 hours of work a month, 20 in the yard, 10 in the house, in exchange for a discount on the rent. I'm excited and I'm hoping that the month goes quickly so we can move in. We're waiting for Dj's spring break so that he can have more time to do stuff. We're putting in our 30 day notice tomorrow! Though last night as I laid in bed, our sliding glass door was open and the frogs were singing so loudly and crickets were chirping and I really hope that we hear frogs and crickets out at our new place too, I'll miss that at night. It's a good thing though and we feel really good about it.
