Merry Christmas..Happy New Year..and then some!
Yikes, it’s been a day or two since I have been in here huh? I had to push away some of the dust bunnies and cobwebs just to even start writing this entry. And it’s so quiet around here…hopefully ya’ll will start coming back with the hopes of a new entry in the New Year! LOL!
So a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!! The holidays are always a crazy time, and blogging just wasn’t high on the priority list for the last month or so. I had a lot of Christmas gifts to crank out, we did a lot of family stuff, and well, I have just been enjoying life.
Jamie did make it back safely from SC. I have never been so glad to have him back. It was a hard week, I really missed him. And then to start the new year off right, on New Years day we were all out to eat when my cell phone rang (it’s 7:30 pm mind you) and they tell him he is leaving again for SC in 9 hours. So he agreed to go since they told him he would only be there for a few days and they would fly him home first thing Sat. morning. Not going to happen, he didn’t end up coming back until Monday, and they drove instead of flew…so he actually didn’t get home until 1:30 AM Tuesday. And he might have to go back next week again. This is really starting to piss me off because this wasn’t in the job description, they told him a week of training in SC, that’s it….they never told him they would be sending him down there to work. He hired on for a job in IL, NOT SC!!!! I am really starting to hate his job…for that reason, among other things. But the other things don’t need to be discussed here. LOL!
Other than that, not really much going on. Today is our 4 year anniversary (not our wedding anniversary, that’s 3 years in June!). Jamie brought me a heart-shaped box of Dove Chocolate Truffle Hearts…and a card. Made my day! And Dove chocolate is my absolute favorite, and I love me some truffles! This man absolutely melts my heart!
He also got me a belated Christmas present, my very own laptop! Ahhh, and I am loving this thing!! I am portable now, I can roam wherever I want! Oh yeah baby!! I love electronics. LOL! And I have given over my desktop to Jamie, it’s his to do what he wants with, as soon as I get all my crap on it saved.
Also, E and I are doing our scraproom. Most of our stuff is in there right now, but we haven’t started setting it up because we plan on painting it. Her Mom, being the awesome woman that she is, bought us these really cool craft tables to use. And we are also sharing the room with her youngest daughter who loves to scrapbook and do crafts as much as we do. So it’s actually our “craft room”.
Well thats about it for me. I’ll try to update more often now!! Toodles!
It’s all good…
I seriously say it’s all good a lot! Just thought I would share that…hehe.
Thanksgiving was great…we went out the night before for my birthday and it was a blast…and you know, the bars don’t close till 4 AM around here, so we were out till then. But it was nice, hadn’t been out in 2 months, and it was my birthday, so I was toe up drunk! So the next day we managed to pull our hungover asses together and make a bitchin’ meal! Good friends together on Thanksgiving, it so totally rocked!
My birthday was also fabulous! As much as I didn’t want to turn 27, it was a great birthday! Thanks to my hubbyman and my best friends! It was also really nice because when I checked my email that morning I heard from a friend that I hadn’t heard from in forever, and she emailed to say Happy Birthday. It was a good day!
Today we also had Thanksgiving at my Dad’s…well actually my step-brothers, my Dad and step-mom cooked all the food. It was delish! I love turkey! Maybe because I was born on Thanksgiving day…lol. And as soon as Jamie and I pulled up all of my nieces and nephews ran over to hug me at once…I love being the favorite aunt! It was a great day, I taught my nieces Miss Mary Mack, we played Ring around the Rosies, freeze tag, Simon says, we wrote letters to my step-mom’s cousin in Cali…it was fun. Kids love me, I am a natural. They always want Aunt Kell to play with them, and I don’t mind one single bit! And then my oldest nephew Justin wrote me a birthday letter that brought tears to my eyes, I love being loved…and it doesn’t get better than that unconditional love you get from kids!
Now the sad news….in 2 days (Wed early AM) my hubby leaves for SC for 10 days. My baby has gotten a wonderful job with a very big well known company (but for security reasons, won’t be posted, but suffice it to say, it’s HUGE!), he is a boss, it pays fanfreakintastic, and his boss has handpicked him already to take over his position in a year. He says that if Jamie hasn’t moved up in a year, they are both doing something wrong. It’s awesome! So he was supposed to leave on the 3rd and fly to SC for this training, but his boss has decided that Jamie is driving down with him and the other 2 BIG BIG BOSSES! So that means Jamie is going to be hanging out with all 3 BIG BOSSES! This is great! They really like him, and this is a good sign about him going far. The other guys who have the same title as Jamie…they aren’t flying down till the 3rd. Basically, by the time they get there, Jamie will be done training and he will be training the other 2 guys with the same title as him, as well as the people that he is over. I am so proud of my amazing husband! This is a huge oppurtunity for him, big things are happening in our lives, and it’s only looking better from here! And while that all sounds fabulous (because it is!!) this will be the LONGEST we have ever been apart. Which ok…yeah it’s no big deal…except we are like so totally in love with each other, we so totally snuggle up to each other all night every night, and I am going to miss him like freakin’ crazy! So I am sad, but happy at the same time.
Also, we aren’t sure how we are going to go to NC for the holidays unless we leave on a Friday night, shoot down there, then leave again on Sunday. Jamie has training all of Dec. (10 days in SC and the rest here) and then on Jan. 1st there are big changes for his department (part of what they are training for) and he won’t be able to skip town for a while. So we will probably just drive down for a weekend (ok, that will suck ass, but hey, do what ya gotta do!), we would fly, except we were going to bring some stuff up from NC (we have alot of stuff still down there in storage, including our winter clothes!).
Speaking of winter clothes, I am glad the weather has been so freakin’ kick ass because otherwise we would be freezing our asses off! Literally! We didn’t bring winter coats, or any warm winter clothes. Thankfully though my Mom got Jamie a really awesome leather coat for his birthday, so he can stay warm when it is cold. And I don’t wear coats, just hoodies, so it’s all good. I just miss my warm sweaters and sweatshirts!
Well, that was quite the update from me huh? I think that’s about all I have to report on. Beware after Wed. though, cuz you will hear about how freakin’ much I miss my baby! Hehe!
Oh, and don’t you hate when you start new cell service how they stick it to ya on that first bill? Ugh! I do!
Toodles noodles!
Presenting the kitchen…
Here is the kitchen, in all it’s glory! We are so proud of this makeover!
And here is a picture of our neighborhood where it’s obvious that winter happened literally overnight!!
And our house…
