Viva ACHF!
Wasabi is a little less traumatized and really enjoying pouncing around the yard. He warms up a little more each day, but is still a big scaredy-cat.
BIG NEWS, guys. Eli has moved out! He found a basement room at a house in Provo, near the Cemetery. He's been packing up his things while I keep asking if he'd like to bring this mirror, or that rug and lamp. (This is the pro's of buying second-hand. Nothing is too precious). He needed a dresser and I volunteered the one I bought for the downstairs room for Adren. I suggested he paint it and put on new hardware. He did a great job!
Jon and I helped take it over and to see where he'll be living. It looks great in his space! It was fun to see what he'd already set up and how he had everything arranged. For his birthday, he got a little couch, rug, and coat rack. I went with a green and black theme. I also let him take a little coffee table- that he suggested I buy originally. I was happy he felt the need to fill the room with lamps so he wouldn't need to turn on the harsh, fluorescent overhead light. He had everything looking real nice!
We unloaded it at Eli's place. It was so stinkin' heavy, the three of us really struggled getting it out of the car in the dark. To get to Eli's room, you go through the side garage door, and then a very sharp turn down very steep, shallow stairs. I tell you what- after so much struggle, I thought we were going to need to remove the door. If that desk was 1 cm wider, there is no way we would have been able to turn it down those stairs.
But we did it! Eli said he will disassemble it when he moves out. Yeah!
I couldn't leave until I made sure Eli could open that little window and hoist himself through if there was a fire. This will be a nice, cool basement for the hot summer ahead.
When we were leaving, I noticed a light on in the shed, and a cat in the window. Eli said someone lives out there! Poor guy has to go into the house to use the bathroom! He has met his roommates, they all share the kitchen, living room and bathroom. He says they are cool guys.
Our house sure feels immediately empty and quiet! With both boys gone within a week of each other, along with the people they bring to the house, I am really struggling cutting down serving sizes of dinner I am making. No matter how little I make, it's too much! Often no one is even around to eat it.
Zeke and I went through his room and did a deep clean and DI load, and I found him a desk. That room! He doesn't want me to paint it - so I'm a ways out from really getting my hands on it. But he is thrilled to have the space all to himself.
I don't know what this is about, but I know Paisley is up to something. She is always so creative and darling. These are no doubt for her cute friends.
