Sorry that it has been so long...
Okay, it has been WAY too long since I updated here. So, what has been going on?? I cannot even remember what I wrote last so here is a quick run down of what I can think of.
1. Ed's mom is teaching in Japan. We have spoken to her a couple of times and she should be home in November. Ed's dad recently went over for a visit.
2. My dad had 2 surgeries on his left elbow. He has been off of work for a pretty long time and will begin work again in November. He is freaking me out because he is starting to talk about his will, estate, funeral arrangements, etc. I know that this has to be done, but I am not quite ready to talk about it.
3. My mom had surgery on the 25th. It was on one of her wrists, I just do not remember which one. She is still waiting to hear about an offer to settle on her potential lawsuit. If they do not hurry, I am going to have to make some phone calls.
4. Ed still hates his job and wants to quit. His old boss from Michigan, Dennis, called and asked him to come back. I am not sure what he is willing to offer, but if it will make Ed happier, then so be it. It's not like we have not lived apart before.
5. I am looking for a new job, too. It's not that I hate my job, I just want to use my law degree for what it was meant to be used for. I am sick of doing everyone else's research so that they can go to court and I just sit at my desk feeling useless.
6. Ed & I just returned from an 8 day vacation at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. It was so much fun. We ate at Mesa Grill - Bobby Flay's restuarant, we swam with the dolphins, went snorkeling over a coral reef by Gilligan's Island - where they filmed the show, and so much other stuff. I seriously injured my left foot/ankle on the first day. It is still swollen and it has been about 10 days. Ed wants me to go to the doctor's but I am unwilling to subject myself to that. Besides, I start my training tomorrow night and have to be able to run on the treadmill.
Okay, I think that is it for now. We are planning on getting pictures up on Flickr. Probably will get some up there tonight.

Time
Wow, time just gets away from you without realizing it. Dad's surgery went well, except not. They did the correct elbow, but they did the outside tendon instead of the inside tendon! Not really sure what happened there. So, he has to have a second surgery on the 17th.
Ed fixed the sink!! Dishwasher is still dead, but we do not really need it right now. It will get replaced before we sell the place. We finally found a dining room table that we like. It will come in around the 19th, so that will be nice. We have not had a dining room table since we moved here last August. It has been tv trays for us, or eating outside on the deck when the weather is nice. Ed headed to Ft. Wayne again. Not sure if he will be gone for the day or until Friday.
We heard from mom in Japan. She is having a good time, but it is a culture shock. No american television and wine is scarce. Plus, she says that things are a lot more expensive than we thought. A small (thimble size) ice cream cost her $4!! We are looking forward to more pictures and another phone call.
Well, that is all for now.

It's been awhile
Sorry for the delay. Things have been a little hectic. Two weeks ago, we went up to Michigan for the weekend. Our 4 1/2 hour drive ended up being 6 hours because of traffic!! We stayed in Lansing, but drove to Kalamazoo on Saturday. There was a going away party for Uncle Arend. He was being shipped out with the Navy. He left on the 17th. It was really great seeing the family, but it was awkward. It made it quite clear that I do not have a lot in common with much of my family, and that makes me sad. The cousins all used to be close, and a lot of us have drifted apart.
We spent Sunday with Mom & Dad in Lansing. Hanging out in the pool. Oh, we discovered Justice can definitely swim. He fell into the deep end and swam his way to the shallow end and up the steps. It was scary and then it was hilarious!!
Last Sunday, Ed & I rode our bikes on the bike path near our house. We ended up doing a round trip of just over 22 mile! I decided that I need to buy a padded seat, and maybe some padded bike shorts. It was a lot of fun, and I am pretty darn proud of us.
This weekend, Daddy & Andrea, and maybe Lori, are coming for a visit. Daddy had surgery on his elbow and has some time off so thought he would come down and recuperate with us. Andrea is getting ready for her sophmore year at WMU, so we will not see much of her after this weekend.
The kitchen sink broke. We have some plumbing issues, so thank goodness we have paper plates. Normally it would not be a huge deal, but the dishwasher is also broken. Oh, and we just had to replace the dryer. Sometimes, being a homeowner really sucks.
Good news??!!! I got promoted! I am now a Senior Legal Research Associate at LN.
