It's March.
Almost April.
It's been a busy year so far. Jason is fully ensconced in his USMC recruiting billet, which includes working nights, weekends, and every hour in between. Seriously, my husband is pulling 16-hour days 6-days a week. It's ridiculous. But like any duty assignment we know it's not permanent and we're just thankful we still get to be in Southern California. As for me, I'm now coming up on 8 months in my new position. Rewarding/exhausting/fulfilling doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about my job. Going from being low-man on the totem pole to being part of a management team has been one of the highlights of my clock-punching history.
But our lives make for pretty dull conversation.
"How are things?"
Busy!
"What have you guys been up to?"
Working!
"What do you do on the weekends?"
Nothing!
Snooze-fest! Haha, but there is something to be said about finally having a routine. And although to some it's their idea of a suburban nightmare, to us it's been pure bliss.
Other noteable happenings:
- We celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary on February 19 (ladies and gentlemen we've officially reached the seven year itch phase!)
- Tessie has officially been part of the family for 2 years now (March 17, 2011)
- We're coming up on our first anniversary of living in our "chosen" city (not digging the rental scene much anymore, but with 8-years left in Jason's military career, this isn't a time for us to look at buying)
- I'm obsessed out of my head with currently reevaluating my choices in beauty and household products (for some reason 2013 is the year I became really conscious about what goes on my body and in our living space)
- We've both agreed to start making a better attempt at using all the amazing cookbooks that have been given to us over the years (our current favorite is one with 5-ingredient vegetarian meals)
- We have officially kicked our Starbucks habit (I was a venti-a-day user, so for me this has been very satisfying--not to mention wallet friendly)
I'd say I'm hoping to get back to blogging regularly again, but I feel like that just sets me up for failure. So we'll just keep our fingers crossed on that one, mm'kay?
