So, I've been working on an actual post for about a week now, but have been unable to get it done. I figured that since I was at work for about 13 some odd hours today, that today was the day that I was going to slowly hen peck something out to post- we've had some interesting goin' ons in our lives lately. Some AWESOME and some not so awesome.
Louis has been busier than ever at work. They lost two employees recently so that means more work for Louis, but it has also meant a new page in the book for him. After losing the other employees, his employer approached him and told him they couldn't afford to lose him and how much money was it going to take to ensure they kept him. He didn't plan on going anywhere anyways, but it was a pleasant suprise. The numbers haven't been worked exactly out but they know a roughish figure and his raise is close to half of what I make in an entire year, plus he gets a bonus in March thats fairly hefty as well. He works very hard and is extremely good at what he does. I'm very proud of him. He deserves it, and it's nice that he works for a company that not only recognizes it, but also rewards it.
On Wednesday he has to go to Provo, UT for a quick business meeting and I've decided that I'm going to go with him. I'm not overly interested in Provo itself, but it will be fun to just go on a quick little trip with just him.
Last Wednesday I broke my hand. It's a long, long story how it happened, but suffice it to say it was stupid and I'm now paying for it...with a boxers fracture. Lovely.
On Tuesday, I'm only 8 weeks out for my surgery. Coming close. I've already dealt mostly with the nerves and now I'm getting anxious. It's getting close. I will admit though....I've already started a wish list of shirts for afterwards. I haven't bought anything yet because we're not sure exactly how big they'll be after they 'settle' and most of these shirts you buy the size based on the bust measurement. It will be the first time in my life I've ever bought anything with a 'large' tag on it for myself. eek!!
We bought tickets to go see The Glitch Mob at the knitting factory on the 29th of April. We are excited, should be a good show, plus we leave for Vegas the following morning for five days. Also super excited about that. :)
Did my taxes and got all that nonsense done. I always have the maximum amount deducted throughout the year so that I get a larger refund. We were thinking about going somewhere with some of it since we didn't plan on that money anyways. I was thinking NYC or Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, but I think Louis is thinking something cheaper and closer...there's big things coming up that that money could be better used for....we will see though... ;)
Girls are both doing good. Bella is in basketball and skiing. Loving both. Zoe is in figure skating lessons. She is hating them. :) Chunkster hates physical activity. That girls just wants to eat bread with lots of butter on it and play on her tablet. Ha. B Bop is the exact opposite though..can't get her to sit still. There's a big change in thier little lives coming up too....they will be changing schools come summer time. They will be moved to a school over on Warm Springs. They are both super excited about it. They are also going on a super fun trip down to San Diego for a week this summer with nana and papa. They're flying so they're both super stoked about that and that's all we've heard about for weeks. Birthdays are coming up in March, also smoething we've heard a ton about!!
Other 'n' that, nothing too impressive is happening. Just hangin out and waiting for the warmer weather!!
