Hello! I know we are a week behind, but boy, what a couple weeks it has been! We are so spoiled by the weather we had early November. It was very helpful for us! I worked most of the nice days, but Jonathan got to get outside and enjoy the property a little bit, so that was fantastic! I was so tired I had to take a nap the one nice day I was off, but I did get to go on a walk around the property and snag this photo!
The week of November 2-8 was one of my very busy weeks! Only two long days, but I worked six out of seven days, so lots of craziness. Monday was a short day for me, so when I got home we team worked making steak alfredo. It was FANTASTIC! For some reason I have struggled with alfredo sauce recently, but we tried a new recipe and it was amazing. New favorite for sure!
Tuesday is always a long day for me, so I got home around 10:30 and Jonathan worked until 9 trying to get as much done on his project as he could. It was election day, so we ended up staying up until 2 AM waiting for results...which we all know ended up delayed...and now questionable! So here we are! Still waiting! Shem came over to watch with us, but we all gave up and went to bed, which I wasn’t sad about.
As usual, my Wednesday was a good day off, but this week it was my only day off of the week! So I got a lot done! Laundry, wrote thank yous, stopped at Drug Mart for some food, got apples at the orchard, made a beef roast with veggies and mashed potatoes, organized the gifts and watched the Masked Singer! Jonathan worked a little late, then we ate at the table and enjoyed some time together! Later in the evening we ordered a book for the parenting class we are going to do and we are very excited to start it soon!
On Thursday we had our new normal: both of us work, Jonathan has band practice, we eat leftovers and I hang out at home until he gets there! It has been really good for both of us, I enjoy an evening on my own and he really enjoys band! It does make for a really long weekend when I work, like I did this week. It was beautiful though! So it was a little slow, which allowed me to get a LOT done and it was super nice which allowed Jonathan to get a lot done too! He worked a little bit, but Friday he and Dad went to work on the bucket truck so it would be ready to go for Saturday, then he fixed the garage door and got the closet door ready to be fixed in the baby’s room. Saturday was the big day! I worked, Jonathan worked a little bit, then he got to work on the barn with the bucket truck. Dad, Grandpa and Shem came to help/watch. There were a few places where the siding had started to come off, so it looks a lot better. After work, I picked up pizza and Jonathan, then we went over to the Haas’ to watch football and spend time with framily. Sunday Jonathan videoed, then came to see me at work and picked a few things up fo us. He finished the barn, then detailed the car and talked to his family. Once I got home, we had leftovers and enjoyed some time together.Last week was a big one! Jonathan finished his project on Monday!!! I am so proud of him, he put so much work in and it has not gone unnoticed. He is awesome. I had a meeting with the pharmacist team for my store, then went up to Canton for a doctor’s appointment. When I got home I was completely exhausted, so I started some enchilada soup, ate lunch, watched a show, then took a nap. I was so tried. After that, I finished the soup and made some lemon blueberry bread. This was a NEW recipe and I made it with fresh squeezed lemons from our tree! It was amazing.
Tuesday, while I was at work, Jonathan got a lot done! He worked, then Dad came over and they worked on putting a door in for us to get into the baby’s room! They cut one door out, then cut the hole and realized the door was too big, so they picked a different door and now they have a great plan! On Wednesday, Jonathan took the day off school, I had two doctor’s appointments, so he was home a lot! He cleaned, I got some laundry done and between appointments we went to Aunt Mabel’s for breakfast. He had never been there before and I hadn’t been there in awhile, so we were both very excited about it! That afternoon after my dentist appointment I made apple cake, we looked at a couch, then we went to the Parrish’s for lunch in the evening! It was a lot of fun. We hadn’t spent a lot of time with them, but we enjoyed their kids and the fellowship with them.
Thursday was an interesting one. I just described for you a perfect Thursday....this was not a perfect Thursday. Our toilet has given us a lot of attitude since we have lived here. It clogs if you look at it wrong and then sometimes it just don’t stop running! We have been dealing with it a lot. Anyway, when I got home from work, it did both of those things at the same time and began to completely overflow. Of course, Jonathan wasn’t here, so I called Dad and he and Shem came to help....it ended up being a pretty big issue and took all evening...fun times! All I wanted was to eat dinner and watch a show!
I worked a short day on Friday, Jonathan worked, tidied up the house, then when I got home the Haas fam met me here! Dad and Jonathan worked on the electrical around where the doorway is going. Mom brought over everything for homemade reubens and we had some sausage soup with it! It was fantastic.
Saturday morning we were BOTH home! We had waffles, ordered our couch, Shem came over to get some pants for the wedding, we made a grocery list and straightened up the house! In the afternoon we had Matt and Amanda’s wedding, which was super intimate and beautiful. It was a ton of fun! We got a whole weekend together. Sunday morning we went to church, which was wonderful, then we went to an impromptu birthday party at Aunt Chery’s. Afterwards, Mom and I went shopping while Dad and Jonathan finished the electrical project. In the evening, the Franks came over to see the house and the kids LOVED the small hole in the wall...which was hysterical. After they left, we had mexican delight, made buckwheat banana muffins and talked to Jonathan’s family a little later. It was a great weekend.I hope you are all having a great November so far! We are 8 weeks away from Baby and are very excited! Still trying to get ready for the holidays, but so far so good! Stay safe out there!!!
Love you all,
Alli and Jonathan
