(no subject)
Justin's on terminal leave ( paid time off till he's no long active duty in the Navy) right now. He enters the reserves sometime at the end of March, but other than that we're DONE!! :) Yeayy.
He officially started his new job today. :) He started at Riverside Tool and Die Company. He's a machinist guy of some sort, technically he's doing a job that I know absolutely NOTHING about really, so I can't answer a ton of questions. The place is only about a mile away from the recruiting office, which sucks cuz we'll STILL be throwing money away on gas..but with the new car and good gas mileage, I guess it's not that big of a deal.
Things have been okay around here. I've been unreasonably sick ever since practically Xmas Eve. It's too long to explain, but that's why I've been gone for so long. I've just been sick FOR-E-VER. Ugh. Today I feel pretty good. No hacking cough, no conjuctivities in my eyes, no strep throat or stomach flu....I could go on and on, but lets just say TODAY I'm not sick with any of the 100 million different things I HAVE been sick with. :)
Other than the trips to the doctors and whatnot, things are going pretty smoothly around here. We've got wood floors in our office now, the hallway is painted, the truck got tuned up, my car had the 3,000 miles checkup done, the garage is cleaned out again...I swear, Justin did a TON of stuff the 8 days he had off before starting his new job. It's been so nice to have help, especially since I was sick for 6 of those days. :)
I'm making chicken fried steak tonight to celebrate his first day, it's his favorite meal. AND I'm making his favorite cake. He sounded ecstatic when he called on his lunch break, so I hope he's still happy when he gets home!!
Okay, I know that I sound like a wife from the 1950's right now, but it's just such a big day for him that it's all that's been on my mind. :) I'll update about MYSELF later on, I promise. :) Either way, the cake is beeping and I have clothes to put away so I have to go for now. I'll tell you all about the *possible* job I might be getting at the U.S. State's Attorney's Office in Peoria when I get a chance.
Later all!
