In Seventh Heaven

My fiancé will soon be shopping for a new refrigerator because even though his refrigerator is still good and running, it’s 27 years old and he wants a brand-new one. He says he’ll be having a brand-new life with me and my son so he wants everything for us to be brand-new and he wants the best, including an appliance with good refrigerator filters. Isn’t he sweet?

For a while he thought of waiting for me before doing the shopping but changed his mind. He wants the house all set up and good to go upon mine and my son’s arrival at his little domain, and we all can’t wait for that day to come.

Curtains have been what my fiancé uses to cover the windows inside his house. I told him about an idea that I got on one of Lifestyle Network’s home make-over which was using wood blinds instead of curtains. It really adds to the beauty of a house. I know it would be an additional expense but I also got an idea on how to minimize the cost. And wood blinds aren’t that expensive anyway. He liked my idea and will probably look into it but I haven’t asked him about it again. I’ll ask him again later and give him a little nudge.

I was so happy to hear from my fiancé that he has already seen three rugs that we’ll get for our living room, dining room and bedroom. He still has to take a photo of them to show to me because he wants me to see them first before he purchases them. He wants my opinion since, as per him, it will be for our home sweet home.

I don’t really mind if he buys them even before showing them to me for I definitely trust his decisions. He can be picky like me too and he won’t settle for anything less than the best, so, that being said, he definitely is good when it comes to choosing things and that refers to anything, especially his choice of a fiancée.

Renovation has started at the home of my fiancé. Yep, he’s renovating and hopefully he’ll be done by the time of my arrival. It’s his goal – to have the place ready for us because he says it definitely needs fixing up. He hasn’t thought of it before since he’s been alone there for quite some time.

He started on the bedrooms last week. His goal this week is to clean the walls so he can repaint them. Then everything else follows: he’ll start at the main house first and his last stop will be the garage. The garage flooring needs repair and the walls and ceiling need repainting too. He still has a lot to do and he’s hoping that all will be good-to-go by the time of our arrival.

Those were exactly BA’s words when he finally had his furnace running yesterday morning. He forgot to refill his oil tank and only found out that it was empty when he got home from work. And it snowed the previous night so try to imagine how cold it was inside his little domain. I actually sensed from his voice while we were talking that he was shivering. I wonder how cold it was. He was already wearing three layers of thermal shirts and pants but he was still cold. Had it been that I was there, I could have froze. LOL.

Well, be alert next time, BA. Hee hee.
