A lonnnng day...

Today has been a very long day of cleaning. I did some hardcore room cleaning since it's been awhile since I've done that. I organized all my shelves and dusted everything off and made it look decent in here. Haha. I put some new drawers on my dresser and organized all my hair bows and clips and stuff. It's been getting a little messy up there. I also used all my converse shoe boxes to store things in. In one I put all my saved receipts, in another I put birthday/christmas/graduation cards that I've saved. One has coupons for restaurants and such, and the last one has all my manuals for my camera, phones, and my portable hardrive. It feels good to know that everything finally has a place and it's not just lying around my room in random places. 

I also wanted to post about my most recent surprise from Brenden. It is a canvas that says "You are my sunshine" on it. It was very special to me because I always call him my sunshine. It was such a nice gift. :) I hung it on my wall right above my bed and put pictures of Brenden and I around it. My goal is to get more picture frames to put the pictures in and make a collage type design around the canvas. I can't wait to see the finished product. Now, if money would start falling from the sky, then I could get started on it. Haha.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

It has been a week since I have seen Brenden, because his best friend, Grant, came to town. And when he's in town, all the guys spend the whole week at Joe's house and just hang out and be guys. This is the longest Brenden and I have been apart in 9 months, and much to my surprise, I handled it pretty well. I usually struggle to find ways to make the days go by faster, but this week I had no problem doing that thanks to working and other plans I already had made. But even though I found ways to keep myself busy, I still missed Brenden a lot, and I'm upset that I missed out on some things we could have done together, since yesterday was the fourth of July. But I'm not going to worry about it, since we have the rest of our lives together, there will always be plenty of time for more "first's" that we've missed out on. Today is Grant's last day in town, and I'm excited to see Brenden again. Although, I don't know when that will be exactly. I'm hoping to see him tomorrow for a lunch date or something. I'm just lucky that I have someone who's there for me all the time and respects me for who I am. I think a lot of people take something as fortunate as having someone there for them all the time for granted. When I say I don't know what I'd do without Brenden, I honestly mean it. Because he is my world. I am in love with him and I can't see myself with anyone else, besides him. :)
