Our first REAL weekend!

This past weekend was our first 2 day weekend! Craig actually had Friday off, but we spent that doing deliveries and then I went out with the girls for dinner and a movie that night.

It was so nice not having to be anywhere by any certain time on Saturday. We spent the entire weekend watching the Olympics and cleaning up around the house.

We joined a new gym that has recently opened near our house. Craig is trilled to be able to go to the gym on a regular basis again, especially after not being able to go for so long. I never really enjoyed going, but I know now that I need to. It's the only way to keep away the diabetes that can come with PCOS. Having the knowledge somehow makes it easier.

Shadow has really enjoyed having someone at home to play with him all day long, too. Quite often I will end up with a ball in my lap while working on the computer or a wet arm from him licking my arm to get my attention. He has decided that he prefers his dinner between 5 and 6 instead of between 8 and 9 like he was getting when we had the store. Funny how quickly he can go back to his regular time after eating late for two years.

No news yet on the job front, but I am not pushing it. I still have a little bit of work to do to finalize out the books for the store. Then we will be in Hawaii for a week. I figure I can start the hunt when we get back. Craig is still working on getting me in at Raytheon. That would be ideal for both of us.

I would say we are adjusting back to a "normal" life quite nicely.

What's been going on?

The past three weeks have been a whirlwind. We decided to close our store and needed to move everything out by the 1st of the month. It was a very long and crazy week for everyone involved. Lots of sore and tired bodies, but we got it done. There is still a lot of paperwork to be done, which I am working on a little bit day by day. My goal is to have the majority of it done this week.

It is amazing how I was able to work so many hours for 2 years and only feel a little worn out, yet now that I am home just working on paperwork I am BEAT. Craig said he is feeling the same way. It seems as though the last two years is finally catching up with us.

We are still going on our Hawaii trip. We leave on September 6th, that's just 3 weeks away!! I thought I was going to be able to just pack and go, but now it seems I will have to do some shopping before we go. My 5 year old swim suite is starting to unravel on the bottoms and my best two bras gave out. One of them I might be able to salvage with new straps. So I will have to go shopping for a new swim suit and new bra both of which are my least favorite things to shop for. Why couldn't it have been my shoes that gave out? I love shopping for shoes!

Since I am now technically unemployed I am also looking for a job. Craig has given out my resume at work for a position that we both feel I would be a good fit for. Hopefully I will hear back from them soon. If I don't hear from them by the time we leave for Hawaii, I will have to hit the job search a little harder when we get back.

That is about all that is going on with us right now. Just trying to catch back up with having a real life again. It's an interesting transition, but one that we are both ready for.

New Proceedure

So this password thing didn't quite work out the way I wanted it to. It seems everyone needs to have their own log in and password.

Sorry for the hassel and THANK YOU for creating an account so you can continue to follow along with us!
