fly, fly my pretty!

Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and as you can probably tell, we have no news.  In 2 weeks, we're coming up on a full year. 

Physically, I'm feeling amazing.  The time off work did wonders for our marriage, and gave me a little time to reflect on what my life would be like with less career-related stress.  Doug got a chance to take care of me, and I couldn't be so annoyingly independent as usual. 

Doug's excited to be back in the military.  It meant so much to him, and seeing him with that drive again is great.  He's got drill once a month, so they finally put him on a daylight schedule at work, and life's been a lot more normal than when he was on night shift.  I'm just grateful that I can get things done around the house on a weekend without fear of waking the bear.

I can't complain.  We're happy and (finally) healthy, and even though it's hard to face another set of holidays just the two of us, life's treating us pretty well.  I wish I had more to report, because I feel as though this blog has become very boring when I do actually write. 

So on some random notes...
I carved an R2D2 pumpkin to surprise Doug
Doug started training with a personal trainer and has now lost a grand total of 31 pounds since Spring
I'm excited to be seeing not one, but two Cirque shows while I'm in Vegas with my girlfriends,
and...
We dressed Rigby as a Flying Monkey from The Wizard of Oz for Halloween:




































He was not pleased.
