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.

I'm exhausted
So January is almost over already. It's been a crazy month. I'm pretty much over my sickness, but still have a bit of a cough. John's Aunt Viv and Uncle Bob came to visit this weekend. We had a great time. We went out to the Mesa Swap Meet and I'm afraid to say that I recognized some new vendors! Looks like we're going to have go out and look around some more.
I am just about done with this class that I'm in. I can't wait to be done and have a break. The next class sounds scary but we've managed to get four of us in it together who all work together so it could be fun. I should manage to pull an A on this class too, but we'll see in about a week when I get my final grade.
I can't say January hasn't been without it's stressors. I'm not surprised I didn't get the job I applied for at work considering I interviewed with 102 degree fever. I was lucky and my work came through with a decent raise which is nice. That should be helpful since John is in a commission job and sales are SLOW!
Then in about a week John's parents will be back for I don't know how long. They will be working to get into their new house out in Maricopa but may be staying with us for a while. Bob and Viv are coming back then too and we're all going to go to the Chocolate Festivale in Glendale. I also think we're going to try and schedule our indoor skydiving in February, as well as I'm going home for a quick weekend visit. So February will fly by as well.

Crappy start to the year
So, it's been a pretty crappy start to 2011. The 3rd was my birthday, that's not the problem. The problem is I started to get sick and by that night had a fever of probably at least 101. Unfortunately I had to go to work the next day for an interview (I'm sure it was not my best interview). When I still had the fever that night, I stayed home Wednesday. My fever finally broke Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. So it's been a great start so far. I'm pretty sure if this is how this year is going to be.... I'll just go to bed.
However, my birthday was a good day. I went and got a hot stone pedicure on Sunday with Stephanie. Then Monday I got flowers, some clothes, a gift card to the spa, and a gift card for indoor skydiving! Then today, another gift card showed up for New York and Co! So thank you everyone for the birthday presents, I feel really spoiled this year!
I don't know when we're doing the skydiving but I will be sure to get some pictures.

Shiny Happy People
I have a question for everyone. How many real friends do you have and what do you consider a real friend? I remember telling a friend before she got married that marriage isn't this idea you have in your head that you got from various tv shows and movies. Well, I kind of feel that way about friends too. The funny thing is that I bet some of the people reading this will think that I'm talking about them and some of them would be wrong.
