Happy belated Christmas & New year!

January 8, 2020

First of all, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New year! We celebrated our 6th and final Christmas holiday party last Saturday night! Family means a lot to Jamie and I and getting together during the holidays is so important to us. We run around from party to party and it can be a little hectic with 2 little ones but I wouldn’t have it any other way! 

Andi was on school vaca for about a month and it felt so good to finally get back into a routine this week. I was starting to feel like a giant slug!!! There were days I literally stayed in PJS all day long and quite frankly I’m not even sure I changed my underwear 😂 joking! ..I think hahah! I don’t own a scale and haven’t weighed myself in a while so I decided to check at my parents house over the weekend and I gained a whopping 10 pounds!!! WTF! Menopause, stuffing my face with holiday food and sedentary vaca lifestyle clearly went straight to my ass hahah! SO… I am going to get my butt back to the YMCA and start working out again and eating healthier! Im actually going to my friend Ashley’s house tomorrow and she’s going to teach me how to make a healthier coffee! …I like mine with sugar, cream and a splash of coffee 😂 Time to kick some bad habits!! Everything except for cheezits that is haha!

I went back to work on New Year’s Eve with a “light duty” restriction. AKA paperwork, orders and admissions. I totally don’t mind though! Happy to be back after taking a ton of time off! 

My Uncle John passed unexpectedly about a month ago. My heart hurts every single day for my Aunt Cathy who lost her husband and cousins Jen & Barbie who lost their father. Theres literally not one day that goes by that I don’t think of you. Our family has been through a lot but this is by far the hardest. Uncle Butch, I also think of you often as I know he was your best friend. I wish I could take all the sadness and pain away 😔 He will truly be missed so much! I want to share a quick memory that will hopefully make my family smile. So we had a family gathering for my cousins 1st birthday and randomly my uncle John comes up to me, my Mom and a few others and says… “hey, what does that look like to you” as he points to a giant #1 balloon with two blue balloons on each side. We all start busting out laughing as it looked like a giant penis!! LOL! I loved seeing my Uncle Johns smile and funny side. He was an amazing man ❤️❤️❤️ RIP
