Update

It's been awhile so here are some updates:

Surgery - went well but was more extensive than expected. Recovery has been longer and the pain is more intense than expected but I'm handling it. I keep thinking I'm being a baby about it but you know it's bad when you go home to lay down for a minute and end up sleeping for 4 hours. I've been trying to get to the gym to do some light walking (I did make it on Sunday) but haven't been able to after work, I"m just soooo tired. Anyway - every day gets better. Special thanks to Dane for all his help with me and working from home so he could care for me. He's actually out of town now which makes it hard to some things but I think I'll be okay.

Sarah's Visit - was great! I was so happy to see her and spend time with her at the spa and what not. I wish she hadn't fallen and broken her ankle while at my house (can't help but feel some degree of responsibility) but what can you do. It was great to see Max and what a great kid he's turning into. Dane and I discussed and decided that we want to keep him. Hee hee. All kidding aside, we really wish we were closer to Sarah and Max to be a bigger part of their lives. We did our best to convince them to move up to WA.

School - OMG! My LAST day of my general MBA is this Saturday! Then its nothing but 5 online classes left. I'm excited and already anxious for what I'm going to do with my life when school is over. First I'll have the Becker CPA review to do, which will be 5 months of studying and testing beginning on my birthday, Feb 5th and lasting through my anniversary, July 3rd. I'm registered for classes and have nothing left to do but register for the actual exam. Can't believe the time is almost here. Afterwards I think I will go to law school. I am going to take the LSAT on Oct 4th and apply to Seattle University. Only 1/3 of applicants get accepted so we'll see but I'm going to try. Crazy, huh?

Work - is going well, I'm kinda behind schedule due to the extensive recovery or rather unexpected recovery. I'll make it work though. Jim is out this week so I've been able to take it easy which is good, but I haven't been able to focus (including right now) so I'll definitely have to bust ass the next two days.

Dane - we celebrated our 1 year anniversary last Thursday be going to dinner at The Melting Pot. It was a great dinner - we talked about the highs and lows of the year, our wedding, and what we wanted to do in the next 1 thru 10 years. It was a great discussion and I'm lucky to have such a wonderful husband.

Cats - are doing well. Willy is the craziest cat ever. EVER! Dewey is darling. Boo is demanding. And Stinker is stubborn. I love them so much.

Other - been driving Nick's Mini Cooper since it's an automatic and is easier to drive. Love it. Really think I might want one. But I still hold out hope for my Mercedes. We'll see what's in store. If I go to law school then I can't afford a Mercedes till AFTER.

I feel higher than a kite right now so I'm going to sign off and enjoy the ice cream social at work then go home and get some reading and homework done. I only have tonight and tomorrow night left to do it. Yikes! I don't even know what I'm supposed to do. Whatever.

Till next time.
