Greg's been doing really well at work. Been on a few trips lately. Once to Washington, North Carolina, Colorado Springs, and Utah. He'll be deploying soon, but only for 8 weeks so we're busy getting everything taken care of that we need to. Making budgets, savings plans, goals for big purchases we want to make in the coming year. The wedding, and another vehicle mostly. Its a big debate on what vehicle we'll end up getting. Our family is a Chevy family, and if I had my way we would end up with the new Chevy Equinox. He really wants a truck, a Ford Ranger or some other you know manly thing. I think our compromise might end up being a Jeep of some sorts since he loves his moms Jeep, and I think its an economically smarter choice than a gas guzzling truck. We'll see how that all works out.
The wedding plans are coming together very nicely. We have almost everything picked out, now we just have to take care of reserving things, down payments, or buying the last little bits that we need to. I'm so excited to be able to share that very special day with family. I'm sorry we didn't do it the first time around, but this way we've been able to save up for the day we really wanted to have, and we knew we were gonna be together, so we just went ahead and made that commitment. It just felt like the right decision.
We finally got a bed! We've been sleeping on an air mattress, even though it was one of those double thick ones, its way more comfortable having a real bed to sleep on. Its made of memory foam, and we cant get over that we can get out of bed without waking the other one up. Such a great feeling. Last night had to be the best sleep I have ever gotten. :) The kitties even love it! Leo of course takes over while we're gone, napping on our pillows, but Abbi has her own world underneath. She likes to hide behind the bed skirt watching and waiting for you to walk past, and then she pounces at your toes! I dont know whats with her and toes but she loves them!
I'm planning another trip home, though exactly when this will be is still up in the air. I was hoping for the last couple days in April, stopping in Madison for the weekend, and then heading home. I'll keep everyone up to date as to whether or not that really happens. And lastly, for anyone that heard, yes I was in the hospital last weekend. A week ago today actually. I had a pilonidial cyst. Its a cyst located between your tail bone and the surface of the skin, its incredibly painful, but easy to fix. They just drain it and send you on your way. They recommended that I have the pocket surgically removed, and I have an appointment on Monday with my regular doctor to find out if thats the right option for me or not. All in all, I'm all fixed up and feeling 100% again.
Lots of love to everyone! We miss you!
