Life may be a tad bit on the busy side right now but I still want to document it.
This week we’ve been painting, sanding, painting, sanding.
From how much we’ve I’ve been painting you would think that we are moving into a 3000 square foot house not a 300 square foot trailer.
I may or may not have had a breakdown in the bathroom last night over….
LINT.
Yes, there was lint in the polyeurathane and it nearly sent me over the edge. Good times. Good times.
I’ll just let you imagine how I felt today when Brent told me today after driving home from the LA fabric district that the polyurethane (I spent an entire day applying to the cabinets) didn’t dry clear and everything has to be re-sanded and re-painted. I thought I was done with the kitchen cabinets and now I’m almost back at square one. I basically wasted an entire weekend.
Except I didn’t because…
…I spent precious time with this guy. His hard work blows me away.
I’m really trying to see the forest through the trees and remember what this trip is really about.
Family.
Adventure.
Memories.
Love.
Who cares about a little lint.
We are hoping to leave October 9th, our 12 year anniversary. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate.
But…there’s the to-do list.
RV
Finish paint and Hang Cabinet Doors (we took them off to paint)
Paint Living Room Walls
Install Wood Floor
Build Brent’s Desk
Sew Curtains
Find Upholster for Cushions
Upholster Couch Frame – We were going to take it somewhere but it won’t fit out the door!
Install Closet Organizer
Install hardware
Paint Fan
Paint (or Find New) Light Fixtures
Re-upholster headboard
Buy storage bins
Install and plumb new bathroom sink
Purchase various small items
House
Sell, giveaway, or burn stuff we are not taking. (This is a mile long list in and of itself.)
Sell Car
Pack RV
Clean and repair current house. (Another list as long as this list.)
Trim bushes at current house
Fix stuff at the rental house. (Our tenant just let us know there is an opossum living under it. Awesome.)
Order a few more school books
Misc
See friends
Keep up with laundry
Oh and that video we shot in July? The deadline is fast approaching. When I think I’m working hard, I remember how hard Brent is working.
How many days to October 9th?
Don’t remind me.
But I’m not complaining because it’s all going to be worth it.
I think.
I hope.
with love,
