Mattress Giants

Sorry for the long time between posts. Justin took the LSAT and I have been trying to get him to write an entry about that but as he always says "I'm a busy man". Oh well, he will get to it eventually. The funny thing is he is really not that busy. Now that school is over he is enjoying life in the lap of luxury. Well sort of, at least he does not have to wake up early everyday.

Right when my regular tutoring job ended a local college student emailed me to help her with chemistry online this summer. That has been awesome since our income was about to go way down with my tutoring and crossing guard jobs both out for the summer. What a blessing! Justin's book business is still going strong and our little Pre-Paid Legal team is plugging along. I am excited to have some more time to devote to that again. Thank goodness for my Dad, without him I don't know where I would be.

Our HRA duties are picking up. We have our residence hall all set up for EFY to start this week. It looks so much better than when we got here. SVU's maintenance and housekeeping are fantastic! Also, THEY FIXED OUR SHOWER!!!!! It is so nice to take a shower in my own room and not have to haul my stuff down the hallway. This past week we did something I have never done before and will have the blessing to do again shortly. Our HRA team moved over 100 mattresses! Robey Hall received 56 new mattresses. We threw 12 away from Main, 1 from Craton, 2 from Robey and 3 from Carriage. Justin and I rode in the dump truck with Kyle and took them to the dump. The dump was a lot farther away then we were led to believe (Ahem Brother Bouchelle) and by the time we made it up there it was closed. We dumped everything in some huge dumpsters we are pretty sure we were not supposed to use and drove like we stole something. It was fun and the truck had SVU plates on it so they will never catch us. We then replaced missing mattress with the best from Robey. After that we took the remaining old mattresses from Robey to the second floor of a storage building. All I can say is I have never been so sore. Lucky for us after EFY more new mattresses are coming and YAY we get to do it all over again. Which I am totally okay with because my arms are getting ripped from all this work and the body flow classes I am taking. The best part about next week is that we get 3 meals a day in the cafeteria which = happy, full, husband!

Justin has earned the title "best daytime worker" since so many of the HRA are working this summer. This is not something he is proud of and it is slightly ruining his luxury. As much as he complains about it, he likes the trust that people place in him. They know if they give him a job he will make sure it gets done. I am really proud of him. With the start of EFY I really thought that I would be heartbroken that I was not wearing a brightly colored polo this year but I am not missing it at all. Maybe it is because I have worked the logistics part the last 2 years and have been so distant from the youth that I forget how great it is. However, I think it is more along the lines that there is no where else I would rather be than with Justin. Our life is wonderful and crazy. Maybe we did not get the leisurely June we were hoping for but whether we are moving mattresses or chilling on the ugly orange velour couch in the lobby of Main watching sports we are happy. EFY always made me really happy but Justin makes me happier.
