So Ill be a full time student and working full time.
Maybe that could be a good thing? Hopefully he'll see you have a busy, full life, but maybe you can take a little time off work or study to spend with him. Could be good from a DB perspective?
Also, painting the spare room sounds like a fun project although maybe you'll be too busy for a while? How about a red color, not bright red, but that cool red color they show on those hgtv type shows? Maybe too bordelloish though? I enjoy watching decorating shows, but I have no style when it comes to that! I like sage green & lemon yellow too, but not very stylish probably! Karen
