I have been taking a break from Facebook for a bit and apparently took a hiatus from all social media. Life has been busy and so, so, so good. It is constantly shifting, but it is manageable. I have moved houses, offices, and have some potential side work that came out of the woodwork. It has been extremely scary to move out of my parents' house, but it has been a time to seriously consider everything I own. I am having to take serious inventory of everything I own and consider whether I could realistically keep it. I was able to see my first check stub and retirement statement when I first started my career. On the same day, I got my most recent stub. Wow, I am fortunate. Persistence has paid off. I officially bought all our plane tickets to Europe and we have booked our bed and breakfast in Dublin. I am getting so, so excited. We bought Jack Johnson concert tickets and I am working on us going to another concert.
I also had an exciting morning off with a bird who got caught in the fireplace (and clearly didn't stay there).
The spring is finally here and we seem to be all thawed out. I have been able to get out running some, but more importantly, it has been good weather for moving. Winter is still holding on to each last little bit it can, but warmer days are here. And just in time for my injury to be on the mend.
I have had a few trips to Illinois and Michigan to visit friends and my sis. I was able to catch just the beginning of the Lake Michigan thaw. Seriously, the whole lake was not moving. It was a sight to behold. Some of my days have included audiobooks, Tiramisu in a restaurant by myself, where I could soak in every part of a book, chat with the waitress, and just relish the moment.
I have been scared, excited, and completely blown away how everything has come together in ways I have hoped, prayed for, and dreamed for a long time. It just makes the gifts so much sweeter.
