however, four days??? ugh, i'm going to die! jeez, that sounds a little pathetic doesn't it? this would be the longest separation for us in nearly three years though. i cannot sleep alone anymore, i get too scared of old house noises. :( but i can do this, right? i mean, i used to live by myself in my own apartment for years. i was independent! (que destiny's child "survivor" song) he'll also be gone on pascha, but will be looking for a midnight service while he's there. oh well, thankfully my in-laws are taking me in for a few nights. they're such sweet people and don't judge their wimpy daughter-in-law too harshly.
in other news, we got our house painted! we added the shutters around the front window and would like to add more bright flowers to the porch, the reds and oranges really pop with the soft green color. we also painted the mailbox black and added fancy black address numbers on the eve above the garage after this photo was taken. that side of the house needed a little black to balance the chairs. i want to raise the front flower beds with faux slate blocks for a more permanent look, but may wait a little while to do that.
...oh yeah, and re-seed the lawn. it has five different types of grass and as many (or more!) types of dandelions.

Wow. The house looks great. good color choice. hope the four days go by quickly.
looking good!
i miss my hubby lots when he's gone too. i don't think you're whimpy! and sad that you won't be able to spend Pascha together this year. :( at least with all the holy week services the time should go by fast! feel free to pull up a chair by me anytime. i'm snuggly. :)
Jenny, your house looks great. Concentrate on that while Michaels gone. Embrace the alone time! My husband of twenty years is a truck driver and is gone most of the time. It took me many years to get used to it!Also,kudos to michael, my daughter earned her bachelors and masters in journalism with the help of great professors!
thanks for the comfort guys & promise of snuggles. ;)
The house looks fantastic!
My Dh was gone in late February for a similar timeframe, and I was *shocked* at how morose I felt. We've both been away from the other before, it wasn't like this was his first trip away, but it still struck me.
Your house looks beautiful, Jenny! Hope you're doing well :D
Christ is Risen!
