Busy bees

Lots of stuff has been going on, but of course that lots of stuff has been getting in the way of me posting. :) Especially this crazy work project for me. *ugh* Can't wait to get them off of my plate and go back to the somewhat organized type of clients! The big trip to Australia in September is still getting all planned out with our travel agent, but things look like they are almost a go to be finalized. So excited... I haven't been posting about this for a while because until I have the tickets in my little hands, I feel a little superstitious about it. Much like how you can't say your team has won until the last seconds have ticked through on the play clock. Yes, that is the big exciting news. We are going because Mike is turning 33 and he wanted to do that in Australia. hahaha Just kidding, although he will have his birthday while we are there. Nah - we have both always wanted to go to Australia. I even tried moving there right after college, but I couldn't get a working visa and there was no way I had the money to hang out without working. We figured that this is the one time in our life when we will be able to toss over a year's worth of rent payments at a trip. (Haven't adjusted to mortgage payments yet. lol I guess that would be nearly a year's worth.) The only other time in a person's life seems to be after they've retired and, based on our dads' knees, we wouldn't be active enough to walk around Uluru or do the Sydney Bridge Climb or go ziplining through the Daintree Rainforest. CAN'T WAIT!!! I am so desperate for a vacation and this is a once in a lifetime trip. Wasn't I not going to talk about it? hahaha In other news, we have had lots of family visits and family visiting us. At least one very funny story to post about that, but I have to find a picture to put with it. This last weekend, we had "free time" and that meant that I cleaned and did 10 loads of laundry (lots of sheets and towels from the visiting family members plus we had saved it up) while Mike started and nearly finished cleaning out the attic and building the floors. Poor guy. He was totally soaked to the skin with the heat of it since it was like 96 degrees and hot/humid. Great time to spend next to the roof shingles in a box. Life is generally good and I hope that it is with you too.
