almost time

Justin and I leave for the airport tomorrow morning around 11am with the team. We are getting anxious and nervous and still have tons of packing and laundry to do. Wish us luck! If you wish to keep track of our flights you can visit Justin’s site for the details. I’ll update when we return! Thank you all for your thoughts, support and prayers.

See you later!

Bye Bye Rosie

I have sad news tonight. I have been informed that the family bird has passed away. His/her (we never knew for sure but probably “his”) name was Rosie because of his rosie cheeks. He lived approximately 15 years with us. We got him at least 2 years before moving down to NC and have been here for 13 years now. He survived the long journey by van and has always been a part of our family while residing in the living room. He was a good bird…and had quite the personality. Rest in Peace little guy!

back breaker

For those of you that don’t know I threw my back out on Monday morning. As GWU staff we had Monday off for “Spring Break.” What do you know, I throw my back out before even getting out of the bed. Actually being truthful I got out of bed when Justin did to get him some breakfast and keep him company while he got ready for work. Then I went back to bed for a couple hours and when I went to get up my back went out. It’s been doing that off and on since last winter when I fell on ice at work. This time has been one of the longest times it has bothered me. I ended up not going to work yesterday and this morning I felt a little better but as the day has gone on I’ve been getting more and more stiff and the actual area in my lower back/hip has been hurting again. The rest of my back has been throbbing from how I’ve had to stand/sit/lay. Wish me luck! 3 hours to go!

Does anyone happen to have any expertise on Worker’s Comp? I went to the doctor on worker’s comp a year ago and wondered if this could still be considered since it’s from that injury.

Happy Birthday!

I’m not sure if you read this regularly or at all but…..Happy Birthday Anna!!!!! I hope you have a great one!

What a game!

Talk about wanting to call in sick today to avoid the rath of the Puke…I mean Duke fans. Carolina played a terrible game last night. It seems someone convinced them to put butter on their hands before the game! There were so many shots they should/could have had. McCants should have just stayed on the bench. Felton was able to help us out a lot until the last few seconds of the game. If only he had gone for the shot, the outcome would have been very different. Oh well, it’s not like a 71-70 winning score is anything really to be proud about…that was a pure luck win. We’ll see how things turn out on our court in March.

On a funny note, I had a voicemail first thing this morning from a boss of my boss who is a Puke fan. He wanted to know why I hadn’t stopped by his office with a grin yet this morning. Funny stuff! I’ll get him in March. hehe

Good news!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that Justin and I heard the most AWESOME thing the other day….our niece/nephew’s heartbeat! Erin and Mike had an appointment on Tuesday and were given a great report! The baby is doing fine and actually 3 days ahead of schedule. The baby’s heartbeat is very strong too! We weren’t able to go see the video or see the pictures but they called us and let us hear the heartbeat over the phone. Erin has 1 more week (or til the beginning of next week) until she is through with her first trimester. Thank you all so much for your continued prayers! They are definitely working and being felt! The doctor’s are even telling Erin she can ease up on some of the medication she is on.
