EEK!

Today is the day! We pay the rent and get the keys at lunch! Oh goodness. I'm nervous and excited AND drinking an iced coffee from McDonald's (with vanilla and hazelnut... yum!), so I'm all kinds of jittery.

I'm sure when I get back from lunch after seeing OUR apartment for the first time I will just HAVE to post again. Or maybe I will be so nervous I will have to wait until Monday. We shall see.

Pray for Brett and I this weekend. Pray that we speak kindly to each other and not boss each other around. Pray that we view the apartment as belonging to us equally and not try to dictate to each other our preferences. Pray for safety for us and all of our movers tomorrow. Pray for little unexpected expenses that I am sure will pop up. (I already realized this morning that I forgot to buy trash bags and shelf liner when I bought things for the apartment on Wednesday.

And on another note, I read the second chapter of the book Bob gave us, The Hardest Year of a Woman's Life. Did I mention it the first time? It is two books in one. One half is The Hardest Year of a Woman's Life and then you flip it over and the other side is The Hardest Year of a Man's Life. It is SO helpful! It is going to teach me to be a better communicator and a better wife. I recommend it to all of my married or soon to be married friends.

Okay, I am going to attempt to focus on work now. We'll see how that goes...

When you figure out how to be a good wife, let me know!

Have fun with the apartment! I can't wait to see it! We'll be thinking of you while we're in sunny San Diego! I've got a couple San Diego books to let you use when we get back.
