To Do Thursday

Call me crazy, but I like to do my weekly to do list in middle of the week, when I also plan a weekly menu and shopping list. This week I keep adding and adding to my weekly to do list, and I have no idea how it will all get done. Once I am all unpacked, then it will be so much shorter, but as of right now, I have quite the long weekly to do list.

~Wash Windows, the windows definitely need some attention, inside and out, and since I now have some wonderful new lace curtains hanging up in them, I really want some shiny windows.

~Wash Mirrors, there are some delightful mirrors in the house, but they need some attention as well.

~Make Bread, I love homemade bread, and having a bread maker in the summer is a cheating way to do bread, but it doesn't heat up the house, which is always wonderful!

~Laundry, I am trying to only do laundry once a week, so on it goes the to do list. I really enjoy doing laundry, but I need to definitely get better about taking care of it once it is folded.

~Bedroom! I need to put the bed where I want it, and make it, I need to organize my vanity, I need to organize my closet, (by color and length), I need to rearrange it so it is all nice and perfect.

~Vacuum, I hate, hate, hate! vacuuming, which is why it only happens once a week, but the floors need attention as well.

I am pretty sure that is all I have, but I know that everyday I will get much more added to it.

He is

Yep, that's him! :) My mechanic. And that is me next to him, so that is truly a picture of the beauty and the mechanic. He is the man that makes my heart smile whenever he smiles. He is the man who makes me want to try harder to be a better woman for him. He is the man who is cutest when he is all covered in dirt and grease. He is the man who when he is all dirty still gives me hugs and spins me around. 

He is the man who is always there for me, no matter what. He is the man who loves me more than anything, even his truck. He is the man who is teaching me to be his little assistant. He is the man who calls me beautiful even when I am wearing dirty jeans and a t shirt, and my hair is a mess. He is the man who grills the best chicken I have ever had. He is the man who I am so proud to say is mine.

He is the man whose ring I so proudly wear. He is the man who is not perfect, but then again, neither am I. He is the man who loves holding my hand whenever we are in the car. He is the man who makes me laugh, even when I really don't want to. He is the man who I love to call my mechanic. 

I am

That is me, not quite your average beauty, but my mechanic seems to think that I am a beauty, so that is who I am. I am also just a girl trying to figure out life, and how to be the best girl I can be. I am a girl who loves to read, but really needs to make more time for it. I am a girl who is not afraid to go out and get dirty, but I will be wearing flip flops and have my toes all nice and painted while I am doing it. 

I am the girl who loves to talk, and who many say talks too much. I am the girl who will throw my whole heart into something, and will probably not stop until the project is done. I am the girl who loves her mechanic, her family, and her Savior with all her heart. I am the girl who is trying to be the best for her mechanic, and who oftentimes ends up coming up short. 

I am the girl whose main ambition in life is to have the perfect house with the perfect supper on the table every night. I am the girl who is trying to learn that when she messes up, she is not a failure. I am the girl who wants to visit the world, starting with Boston. I am the girl who loves to write. I am the girl who tries to always have a smile on her face even when things are not going her way. I am that girl, and so much more. I am his beauty, so his beauty I will be. :)
