The last five days were a blessing — my husband had a surprise four day weekend. After his first two days, he headed to work without checking his phone messages. Sure enough, his boss had to change his days off starting immediately — meaning he had the next two nights off! Even though I like getting to hog the bed five nights a week, it was a huge blessing to wake up beside him the last few mornings!
My husband is my best friend, and I’m thankful that it’s just the two of us for now! I know we’d love to have kids, just not soon. We’ve got to thru hike the John Muir trail first! My baby (not really a baby, he’s 12) brother had a hard time understanding — he seems to think it’s easy to carry a baby along in Sierras!
The other thing I love about my husband is his love for the color orange. I used to hate it. Bright hunter orange. He just gravitates towards it! When I was buying him new shirts last summer — I intentionally shied away from the bright orange one on the clearance rack. It backfired on me. He wanted to go back with me to get more of the same shirts I bought him, but in more colors. He wears that shirt all-the-time.
It’s growing on me.
Not as bright as Jeff would like, but still very orange! Click the photo to be taken to it’s flickr page to see what I used from where. I started to make this page for a challenge, but it involved journaling & I didn’t want to change anything to make room!
This is the only page I got done today — I finally got that frustrating site to speak to me first thing in the morning! It’s for an organization I’ve been helping out as like a website content manager — getting their information up on their site. I really wanted them to have a site that they could manage themselves without fear of destroying it! The last few months I really loathed making their previous designer’s layout work — and after hearing their desires for the website — I knew we had to redesign it from the top to bottom. It’s still in the final stages, but I’m excited. I’ll share once we’re done!
The feeling of accomplishment is ten times stronger because it’s for something that I really believe in, and really want to see flourish.
