Wow, we're already past a month of the new year! I used to think time went by so slow back when I was in elementary school. I thought it'd take forever to get to my Summer vacation time. I remember the first year, 8th grade, when I realized how fast the year actually went. It's crazy.
This year has definitely been a bit challenging so far, but I can say I've never been more motivated to not let it get me down! It's been hard not knowing what's happening with the military and Larry's back. In case you don't know, while Larry was away in the military he hurt his back pretty bad and has been unable to basically function. He's been on pain meds, done physical therapy, and he still grunts like an old man when he gets out of bed or lifts pretty much anything. He's been on profile (where they can't do any PT tests or anything like that) for about 10 months now, been in and out of dr's offices, and has even had an MRI done to see what's happening. We have found out he has degenerative discs in his lower back, pretty much untreatable except with some pretty serious surgery, so now we have to find out what the military is going to do with him. Originally they were going to have him do this Airborn training where they learn to jump out of planes, but his back won't allow that, so we don't know what they have planned for him, and this has been going on for almost a year now so it's been really hard not knowing what to plan for. And now this house situation, we don't know if we're selling, going to try and keep it, if it'll end up in foreclosure, anything! It's just so frustrating not knowing, and me being the control freak I am makes it even harder.
But the good news is I've been able to keep up with my classes this semester, I'm so excited to go into Math each week because of how crazy the teacher is, he makes math kind of fun/funny. I tell myself each and every day to remember my goals this year; I've been able to keep up with my budget so far, we're hopefully going to be able to take our vacation this year if things go right, I've even started going to spinning with no excuses to skip! Larry has been practicing his Texas Hold 'Em so when we go to Vegas he can try and win us some money ha ha. It's been something he really enjoys doing each night, I will say he is getting a lot of practice hours in too.
So far that's all we know, I'm hoping in a couple months we'll have better direction going, but we'll see what life brings us :)
