I can't believe that Connor will be turning 20 in a month!! Where did the time go, seriously?!! I honestly can't believe that I've had this amazing little dude in my life for 20 years already. I still call him my little dude, because he always will be, no matter how tall he gets, how much facial hair I have to shave off his adorable face, how deep his voice gets, etc., etc. So, last night, we had a big issue in our house - his digital voice recorder (aka, the yak back) broke... it was the first thing he thought of when he went to sleep last night, and this am when I woke him up for school, before his eyes were even all the way open, it was "mom, are we going to get my new yak back today, because mine broke last night!" After we dropped Chris off at work, we headed to Target. Well, Target only had an RCA DVR, so we headed down the street to Walmart and there it was, the Sony DVR, thank God!! He was a trooper going to both Target and Walmart, and the great news is that we have like 3 Walmarts and probably 4 or 5 Targets not far from us, so we had options if they didn't have one at our closest one. Another perk of living in Florida! I was happy we only had to hit two stores though. Now he's happily in his room with his computer, recording all kinds of cool new sounds :)
So, JR will be celebrating his 45th birthday on February 2nd. Yes people, he will be equal age with me again, after those long 3 months of me being 45 BEFORE him! To celebrate his birthday, he will be attending a 3-day meeting in Orlando for work. Ha ha, just kidding, he really will be attending a work meeting in Orlando for three days, but not on his birthday, a week later. The fun part is that I will be joining him with friends of ours, the Jakicic's, and we will be spending two ADULT DAYS (wahoooo!!) at Disney - something we haven't done since our honeymoon almost 24 years ago! Tim Jakicic is also a store manager for PetSmart, so after the boys get done with their meetings, his wife (also a Julie) and I will be driving up to meet them. We're going to hit Epcot and the Magic Kingdom - can't wait to check out the new Fantasyland! It will be SO nice to get away for a few days alone. Big thanks to my mom and dad, who will be coming over to stay with the boys while we're gone!
I'm still looking for part-time work that I can do from home, so if any of you out there know of anything, please let me know! It's so hard looking for this type of work on the internet because you just don't know what's real and what's a scam. Some of the scams stick out like a sore thumb, but some of them sound like they could be legit, but after further researching them, they turn out to be scams too. I'm sure something will come up!
We're very thankful that we live where we do, especially after the frigid temp.'s up north this past week. Thinking of all my Vermont friends and family and hoping you're all staying warm!
