I am sitting here in my living room, the BCS National Championship blaring on the TV, my dog is resting against my foot, I am eating left over Christmas candy while googling things for work. Things like table overlays, cyclone towers, satin sashes to tie over linen chair covers...you know normal stuff. But I love it, at least this far...my new change for 2011 is off to a beautiful start! I love going to work knowing that I am about to learn something new, that my opinion is valued, and my passion for decor and organization is being fed. It is a far cry from my time processing freight, folding camis and dealing with petty co-worker drama. Ahhh bliss! We had a 48 hour trip to Montana to visit my family and had a small belated Christmas, granted it was in a hotel lobby but it was beautiful. It was wonderful seeing my family. My little brother is taller than me now and more sarcastic than me (he learned from the best). My Mom looked amazing and was beaming over her personal training, but still became slightly teary-eyed when I got into Kory's truck to leave, I pretended I didn't notice. My older brother, Zack, and his wife, Sabrina, were absolutely thrilled for the arrival of their first child, a son, in 3-4 weeks. My Dad was his usual silly and animated self, some things never change.
It is hard to think that I don't know when I will be able to go back. I hope and pray that it will be in a month or two as I would like to meet my nephew while he is still small, red, and sleepy. Because after April, wedding season begins, all the chaos will begin and trips to Montana will be just a phantom dream until the end of October.
My little Virginia friend, I call her that because she is in fact short and skinny as well as from Virginia, will be venturing her way into eastern Oregon...brave, brave girl. Good thing she'll have me to show her the ropes for a few days and introduce her two what life in small town Oregon is like, which basically means we will be sitting in my house watching smut-television and eating junk, epic. I hope Kory doesn't mind Lady Gaga and Britney Spears!
Taco meat is ready, the pup and the boy want attention and the blog is updated. AMEN!
