For one, we've been doing the gluten free thing this month and other than a few set-backs (I just can't resist a brownie!) we've actually stuck with it pretty well. I thought I would miss pasta a lot, but I've been okay with it. Maybe because I know I'll be able to have it again soon, I don't know, but it hasn't been too bad. I had to change my lunches since I was always bringing a sandwich, so now I bring a bunch of fruit and snacks to keep me content until I get home and we can eat dinner. I can't say I feel any changes yet, we'll see if there's anything by the end of the month or in March when we go back to how we used to eat. That's been the biggest thing is making sure we're checking labels now, I never used to do that and I'm surprised about some of the things that aren't gluten free, like soups! Who knew? Luckily I can still eat some candies haha.
As far as painting goes...it isn't. Turns out the weekend I planned it for just isn't going to work for various reasons. Hopefully we'll be able to do it later this year. I think I'm still going to work on putting frames up to decorate a little. I have the 17th off, but Larry doesn't so I'll be SUPER cleaning that day and then we can work on the rest of my growing to-do list.
Larry officially works from home two days a week-Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm finding I LOVE these days, except that Tuesdays he has class so he's not home when I get home and doesn't get back till after 10. Once he finishes one class he has another so he hardly has any Tuesdays off...I kind of can't wait for him to be done with it; Or until he's home every day. I love getting ready with him here and knowing he will be with the kitties and the house will be safe. I love thinking throughout the day that he's here, I'm not sure why I like it so much, but I find I love the days he gets to stay home so much more than the days he goes into work (even though he's home when I get home every other day so it's not like there's a huge change).
Speaking of Larry's classes, he's kicking butt! He just finished a class this last week and so far he's been able to get all As (of some sort). His GPA is currently 3.92!
We've decided to kind of take a chill pill on vacations this year, we'll be visiting Mom in May (got the dates set, just need to get the flights booked and we'll be good to go) and then for our anniversary in October we want to do Lava Hot Springs one weekend and then take a week off afterwards and stay at home to relax. Both will be pretty cheap so hopefully we can save money for a big trip we have planned next year - New York!! Fingers crossed we can make it work, I want to go and visit SO bad.
That's all we've got so far this month :) It's been pretty quiet around here, but this weekend is sure filling up (we got some babysitting, a friend's birthday, building a computer, and cleaning) so I don't expect it to stay that way for long.
Here's some cute pics to end on:
