Tomorrow's the Day

So tomorrow I get to go home! The last time I was home was 14 months ago. I think. I've been in Utah since then but not to Pocatello. I'm excited to go, although you can't tell by the fact that I have not packed and I leave in less than 12 hours!

It seems like a great time to go home. 3 of my 5 nieces and nephews have had a birthday in the last month. I'm making this a grandparents trip home since I haven't seen my mom's parents in 3 1/2 years and my dad's in 18 months. Then hopefully I'll get to see Cailee since she's still tied to oxygen at this point after her RSV RVS what it is diagnosis this week.

Valentine's day was quiet for us. We just hung out at home :-)

I think there's only two somewhat exciting things that have happened lately. Last Thursday I left work and got to the truck (John was driving my car because I thought it was acting up) and the tire was punctured/slashed. I reported it to my work's security and had a nice talk with them but I think it was a random mean employee. I don't think I was in any way targeted because I wasn't in my normal vehicle, etc. So that pretty much sucked.

Then we have been frosting a few of the windows in the house and had decided to frost the window in the bathroom. I was looking for power tools to take the blinds down and was in the garage. I decided to use the "dog stairs" John had made for the dogs to get on and off our bed so I could see on the higher shelves. This resulted in the stairs breaking and my legs being stuck in the frame falling on the concrete with the cordless drill in my hands trying not to hit the car, my head, or land on the bikes. I have a pretty good bruise from it and was a bit sore. I've now been told since I was home alone, that I have to wear a helmet around the house.

I'll post a few pictures.

February?

Wow, it's February already. And not just February 1st, it's February 10th. I can't for sure remember all that has gone on or all that I've eaten since I last posted (Wallace family joke). I know that it's busy. John's aunt and uncle came for the weekend the weekend after Martin Luther King. We enjoy spending time with them. I think the week after that Stephanie and I went to a baby shower and enjoyed a LOT of food. We went to No Strings Attached and I thought it was great. Then the end of January John's parents moved down here to their new house and John's aunt and uncle came back (they stayed with his parents) but we spent a lot of time with them.

The 2nd was our anniversary, 9 years. I can't believe it's been 9 years. I went to the chocolate festival with John's family last weekend. That was not quite what I expected but still fun. I'm excited because I get to go home for a quick weekend next week. It will be good to go home.
