January Update

It’s been a while since I blogged, so I have a bit to catch up on. 

I’ll start at the beginning…

Gator Bowl

Russ and I were able to go to the Gator Bowl to see Ohio State and, of course, the Florida Gators!  We got to tailgate with some friends, grill some burgers, and talk football, all very manly.  Overall it was a great day.  It’s always fun to get together with friends and do something that you don’t get to do all the time.  Get out of the house and be outside, eating food, and enjoying each other’s time. 

To sum up the day:

It was very cold

We successfully got the charcoal grill lit and had some d-lish hotdogs

I got sun burnt

I accidently hit myself in the eyeball when I was using my hands to talk in true Italian form (and yes I popped some blood vessels so my eye was red.. cute)

The game was great and so were our seats

After the game Russ bumped into Jeff Driskel one of the QBs for Florida

 

The Sickness

I’ve been sick a lot it feels this month.. And I’m not a fan of that.  But I’m almost 100% and feeling good.  I had an issue with my knee, which is ongoing, but getting better.  Prescription: exercise more.

A Winner

I won something, I mean Actually won something!

I'm pretty unlucky.  I rarely ever win anything, things don't just fall in my lap, fortune does not pass my way often in the way of luckiness.  Don't get me wrong, I'm very blessed in life and very thankful and happy.  But still, all my life I'm the person that doesnt win things, any raffle or drawing, forget it.... BUT not this time Sir! I'm a Winner! I won a raffle at work for a purse.  and I love the purse. It fits my style.  I gotta tell you though, that fact that I actually won almost is better than what I won... almost.

Under Way

Russ has been gone a lot this month.  To have him gone for 2 weeks out a month is not fun, but hey, that’s the Navy for you.  I miss him a lot when he is gone, but I’m thankful that he is only gone for one week at a time and isn’t deployed yet.  On a positive note, I love writing him “letters” (aka emails) and reading his emails back.  It really strengthens our communication and it makes it exciting to hear from him.  And it’s always really exciting to have him come home!  Makes you realize how much you love and why you love someone when they’re gone.  I Love him a lot.

Thats about it for January

between me being sick and Russ gone a bunch, its been a little more low key ..but overall still a good month.  Im happy, healthy, and have good people in my life.  Sounds good to me.
