Elated

Wow, I didn't realize how long it has been since I posted. Shortly after the electric got connected we began moving in. Making runs to town to purchase things we needed. Its been a very busy couple of weeks! It took me about a week and a half between the start of the move to everything getting tidy. We were still awaiting certain projects for everything to have its own place. I was able to just relax the last few days and did quite a bit of stitching and reading. T and I went to town yesterday and got the stuff needed to finish up those few projects. He built me a unit to place my microwave a such on and he is putting shelves in the laundry room after football is over tonight :) I went to town deep cleaning the house today. I have kept up with it through the week, dishes are done nightly and its picked up. Today I removed all of the clutter that seems to find its way to the bar and in my room, but I also scrubbed toilets, dusted, and vacuumed. I will mop tonight after everyone goes to bed.  Its amazing how much more you get done when you don't have a ton of dishes waiting for you when you get up. This makes me very proud of myself and I feel super accomplished. 

My husband got a call recently from his boss telling his that the second in command at their company was specially requesting him for a different position. The position requires a few classes and the purchase of a side arm but it does come with a pay raise. He said he had to discuss it with me first. I told him not only is this something that allows him to move up in the company, which is always the goal of a career, and get to carry, something he has always wanted, but its also a show of recognition. Recognition of all the hard work and long hours he has put in the last several months. He is 5 months into this job and has gotten 2 raises and now a promotion. He put in 72 hours last week!! He went to work at 6 pm yesterday and didn't get off till 12 today. They offered to fill his shift tonight and give him time to rest but he refused so in a few short hours he will be back at it. His first class is this coming weekend then he will get to start the new job after the following weekend. 

Rhyno is having some weirdo medical stuff going on this week. Random vomiting with no apparent cause and then a rash today. I put in a note to his doctor to see if I need to take him in. He's acting
pretty normal other than his accidents. We enjoyed a home game this past tuesday. The cheerleaders have added a halftime dance to their repertoire and we really liked the chili dogs!! We whooped the other team 36-0. I am slowly learning this game :) Doodle got her first progress report. All A's. I am very proud of her and she and I have been making slow steps at allowing her on facebook. She's mostly been posting her achievements or her art.  

Have you ever had that moment that just feels right, like everything is just going right? I had a moment a year or so ago when I thought I was happy, or I was but I was also worried something was going to happen to take away my happy. Everything was going good but I couldn't trust it.

Today is not one of those days. I can honestly say I am happy, life is on the right path and I feel great.
