Okay... I Know It's Been a While

Hey all!

I know I haven't written on here for quite some time, but things have been kind of back and forth around here. My big exciting news is that I can go back to driving now. Yay! They lifted my medical restriction, so I am once again a woman with wheels. I told Justin that on Sunday (the day it was lifted) I was driving... didn't care where... just wanted to drive. Poor Daddy still has to wait until March, but hopefully he won't have any other episodes. It's been much, much more than six months for him.

Justin has started his own LLC so he's been working quite a bit at home. It's kind of nice having some company, but I am still ready to get back to work. Luke said if I was tired of being a stay-at-home girlfriend, Jus and I should start having kids (then I wouldn't be bored). I told him he was skipping a few steps that Jus and I had planned to have happen first. :) I mean, don't get me wrong... it does give me a lot more time to get stuff done around the house and have dinner ready by the time we usually eat instead of having to just make something quick out of convenience.

As far as the two of us, we've been pretty good. Things haven't been exactly going entirely our way as of late, but we're making do. As always, life doesn't always go the way you had planned but you gotta make what you can of it. I guess you don't necessarily learn to really appreciate your good times unless you've paid your dues.

So I finally used one of my Christmas gifts from Justin and took my "day at the spa." I had an hour massage, manicure, pedicure and a haircut. It was lovely (except for the lady who kept talking to me during the massage). I don't think I'll go to her again. It's the second time I've had a day at that spa. It's always nice to be spoiled.

Jess and Derek moved into their house. It looks like a very beautiful place. We haven't been there ourselves yet, but we saw their photos last time we caught up in Keokuk. It's located in Aurora, IL and it looks pretty huge! It has six bedrooms and three bathrooms. Makes our three bedroom, one and two half baths look pretty dinky. I just tell myself that our house is a lot less to clean... makes me feel a little better. :)

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great rest of the week.
