I LOVE my husband!

I got way too spoiled over the break!  I was used to not spending much time with Grant last semester, but after spending two straight weeks with him, it's been hard to go back!
The first shock was coming back from our honeymoon and transitioning from spending every second of the day with him to having him work 3 shifts in one day while I was at home by myself.  I don't know if I've ever felt so lonely!  Not to mention it's a lot more scary being alone in this apartment than I expected.  I made sure there was music going all day so I didn't notice how alone I was.  I was able to get a lot of things done though, so that was good.  And the best part was that in the middle of Grant's second shift the doorbell rang and there was a girl there to deliver flowers!!  Grant ordered them before our wedding and planned for them to arrive Monday, knowing I would be home alone.  It made my day!!  

Grant didn't work as much the rest of the week as he did the first day back so I was still able to spend a lot of time with him.  We've done lots of shopping and spent about half of our gift cards and wedding money so far!  We even splurged and got ourselves a kinect :). Our apartment is coming together bit by bit.  Our bathroom and kitchen are pretty much complete, but we're waiting on a few furniture items and accents to complete the other rooms.  We're getting there.  I won't go into what a NIGHTMARE it has been trying to get our couches re-upholstered, but that battle should be over Friday if everything goes according to plan.  I never really realized how important couches were to me until I've had to spend a few weeks without them.
Our open house is this Saturday so we're just hoping we're able to get things together by then.  We're excited to see all of our friends and entertain at our new home!
Grant and I are both back into the swing of things.  I started teaching again on Monday and Grant went back to school yesterday.  His new group of missionaries arrived today so he's still been on a modified work schedule.  I don't know what I'm going to do when he goes back to working every night again next week!  The apartment will be even more scary when it's dark out :/

Good job Grant! Sorry about lonely evenings, Katie. I know how you feel and have lots of good book suggestions if you need any to keep busy! :)
