painting queen.

hmmm ... where to begin? so, i'm pretty sure i ended up staying up late with travis on wednesday night, but i honestly don't remember exactly what we were up to.

on thursday, i made another trip to the 'gee. i think i've said before that justin and lindsay are moving to arkansas. lindsay took a job in pea ridge, so they're moving to bentonville -- it's very close to pea vine. they have a huge house on 9 acres they will be living in there. anyway, they were supposed to be out of their house in muskogee this weekend so their renter could move in. there was still a lot to be done. justin stayed at his job until the 1st of this month, so everything they've done has been in the evenings or weekend. justin asked if i would come spend the day helping him on thursday. i woke up with a horrible headache that morning and slept longer than i intended {i told you these late nights were no good for me}. i didn't get to the house as early as i hoped. when i got to town, my mom actually needed to borrow my car, so she ran me to justin's and then he and i headed to lunch at gino's. justin invited my dad to meet us there and the three of us had a pretty good lunch.
after lunch we had to get straight down to business. justin pulled off the baseboards in all the front rooms and i set to work painting them. we turned on friends while we worked. i forgot just how much i love that show! i laughed the entire time. justin had installed a new floor in his and lindsay's room and it look wonderful. there was still just so much to do! we got most of the clutter out of the living room. my mom showed up later that evening to help out. lindsay seemed pretty stressed when she got back home from arkansas, but she set to work packing up the kitchen and loading her car with clothes from their closets. i worked until pretty late painting trim and doors throughout the house. when it came time for them to settle in for the night {since lindsay has to wake up around 4:30 or so each morning to make it to arkansas on time} i headed back to tulsa. travis had class, so i had gone down by myself. i was exhausted by the time i got home, so i kissed travis hello and goodnight, brushed my teeth, and fell into bed.
