Re-re-reorganizing.

Yesterday was a day full of reorganizing for the 2389182738297th time since we've moved in the apartment. Our roommate is moving out, therefore taking some of his stuff with him, like the kitchen table which I showed you in the last post and a coffee table among some other trinkets. This only meant I had to some cleaning and put to use some of the plastic containers we had in storage, after all, we are leaving in about a month and a half too and while my husband doesn't mind the clutter, I can't stand it.

I thought it was going to be a matter of just moving things from one cardboard box to a plastic box with a lid.

Boy, was I wrong.

It went from this:

To this:

I ended up opening closets, packing winter clothes away, throwing away papers, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, washing dishes aaaaand doing laundry.

By the end of the day (i.e. when Patrick gets home from work) I was exhausted! and we still went to the commisary to do some grocery shopping, which we are so proud of since, for the first time, we managed to keep it a bit under a hundred dollars!!! We were thrilled! This is huge for us guys because we have paid as much as 350 dollars... just on groceries for the two of us... phew! but we did it!

And while I was walking into the store I saw this:

I am so entering the contest! We don't own neither a washer or a dryer, so this will look perfect in our new house, wherever that is after we move out of Kansas.

Oh! and our new and improvised coffee table. Patrick described it as... innovative, that's one word, I guess.

Until next time, guys.

Update!

Patrick passed the board!!!

I'm so proud of him!

Over the weekend

Phew!

There was a lot of studying and cramming these past couple of days. 

Patrick is going to the promotion board in a couple of hours and we had to spend the weekend putting his "formal" uniform together and reviewing a questionnaire of over 350 pages.

Oh! I didn't tell you, yeah, my husband is in the Army. That is why we live in Kansas. 

WOW! guys, as I am writing this, I noticed there's a frog stuck to the wall in front of me, INSIDE the apartment.

I don't know what to do! We are staring at each other. Being very still. Not making any sudden movements.

I have chills.

I will try to continue my post, as best as I can, without focusing too much on the frog.

So, yeah, the promotion board. I am sending my husband all the luck and love and light that I possibly can at this moment. You can do it babe!!!

Also, we bought a new table, our douche bag of a roommate is leaving and it's taking his with him. Patrick saw the ad on craigslist and picked it out. I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me. Truth is, it's perfect for our little apartment, and it seems pretty unconventional. Husband called it a chess table, because well, he is a chess aficionado who can play excellent games, I'm serious, he is really good and since he is currently teaching me, he said it would be the perfect table to play chess and drink beers on.

I kinda agree with him. The beer part.

Oh, the presidential elections were held in Mexico yesterday. Some idiot won. Yeah, I don't even want to go there.

Here are some pictures from my weekend. Well, only of the table being built, because pictures of study sessions are not that interesting.

That's our friend Josh on the right. Thank you for helping us out!

Final product! Doesn't it give you the whole chess and beer kinda vibe?

A picture of us at IHOP, because we are so damn cute!

The frog!

It has, since then, moved and it is now hiding behind the fire extinguisher.

Rainbow Brite & Chinese food

Today was one of those days...

or maybe every Friday is one of those days.  You know which days I'm talking about!

Patrick and I have a little custom, every Friday (or if it's a four-day weekend every Thursday) he buys a 12 pack of beer on his way home from work, we drink until we feel a little buzzed, have dinner and then we go to bed, and I'm telling you, we go to bed around 9:00 PM. Yeah... we are so much fun. But I guess it's our own kind of fun. That's why I was telling you today was one of those Fridays.

One of those Fridays when you remember the 80's and watch Rainbow Brite on Netlfix...

Husband was born in the early 80's, I was born a few years after that, 

thankfully we both remembered and enjoyed the movie the same.

eat Chinese take out...

Garlic chicken 

and drink wheat beer that was brewed in MO. We like the local stuff.

It's 9:15 PM, Patrick is now asleep and I'm watching a really good Mexican movie called "Casi Divas" (Netflix y'all!) while talking to my BFFFFFFFFFFF Brenda, but I will tell you guys more about her later on.

This was a Friday post.

Have a great weekend!

For the days to come...

Patrick and I have big changes coming in our lives and I want to/need to document every step of the way. 

Here you will read about things that make me happy and see things that make me smile.

And maybe about others that don't so much.

But that's okay, I prefer to focus on the good days and the awesome stuff.

Who knows how long this will last, but for now, it's nice to have a blank space.
