Year 2, Week 5: Work, Sleep, Repeat

Sunrise from the Haas porch on Thursday morning

It has definitely been a week of working, sleeping and just trying to survive here at the Lil Landis house. When one of us is off, the other one has been working. Thankfully - this will be coming to an end soon and we are already seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. This week will not look like that as I am not working as much and Jonathan will be home all week.

Monday I only worked 9-5, which was nice. We went to game night since it was Shem's last one for the summer, he left Tuesday morning, so it was good to see him again before he left for the school year. Jonathan worked, then helped me out by folding some laundry and doing some dishes. 

Tuesday and Wednesday I worked long days, so Jonathan went and got peaches on Tuesday and then went to play basketball in the evening. He also made some pulled pork so we would have leftovers to eat for the rest of the week. Wednesday he mowed the lawn and packed to get ready for his trip out to work.

As life works, Jonathan headed out to Celina on Thursday, which was my only day off this week. So while he was gone, I cleaned, got shots, picked up more peaches, hung out with my parents and went to get some ice cream that evening. Jonathan got dinner with Graham at the bowling alley and they also went to get ice cream that evening - great minds think alike! 

Friday I worked in Minerva from 9-10, then finally got to see Jonathan when I came home. Jonathan came back from Celina and brought back two bookshelves that he bought from the office! While I was still at work he did some cleaning and then went over to Kyle's for the fire.

we got this week

Finished pedestal!

Saturday I worked in Carrollton and it was my last day for a little bit. I am very ready for some time to just relax! Jonathan cleaned, washed our bedding and finished stripping the table while I was gone. He also got to watch some football and did a bit of grocery shopping. Right before I left work he ordered us some pizza and I picked it up on the way home. We watched a show while we ate, then brought the bookshelves in, cleaned them and organized all of our books, games, CDs and puzzles! It is so nice to have places to keep everything!

me a round of applause for
passing my boards

Today has been a busy but good day. We went to church in the morning - my first time going in about a month - then we went to the Landis' to see everyone since there was a lot of family in from out of town. Since then, we have been at home, relaxing, ate some dinner and are working on rearranging our house since our bookshelves are not exactly where we want them right now. Plus, now our little bookshelf is empty, so we have to figure out what to do with that! Lots of exciting things, but our home is really starting to come together and our spare room seems much more homey with the bookshelves in it. 

The upcoming week leaves us a lot of time to relax and enjoy each others' company since we haven't been able to do that in awhile. We are so looking forward to it! I plan to do a lot of cleaning, preserving, reading, relaxing and cooking. The two of us plan to check a lot of things off our list of tasks for this month, we are going to play games and we are going to go do some adventuring! I hope you all get to relax a little bit this week too, it looks like it will be a good option for the weather we will be having around here! Love you all, have a great week!

Love,

Alli and Jonathan
