*Typical excuses and apologies for not updating this blog more frequently* Can we skip this? Aren't we good enough friends by now to just pick up where we left off? Yes? Awesome...onwards we go.
So I'll just do a brief update of the last two months of 2010 (and first two months of 2011) and then my completely overambitious plan is to update every twice a week. I think thats probably acceptable until I get back in the hang of writing/become awkwardly funny again. If not...go surf Facebook for a few more hours...see if I care!!!! (I do care!!! COME BACK TO ME! YOUR ATTENTION IS MY SUSTENANCE!!!)
Part of the reason why I stopped writing is that well...the blog is supposed to be about living with a boy and I wasn't really doing that any longer! JP came back from his Floridian electoral adventures on November the 4th which was nice. Things were going smoothly and he'd convinced me that it was a good idea to let him return to Florida until our planned Christmas trip to California (which in a stroke of SHEER BRILLIANCE I made him book airfare for BEFORE election night...smartest action ever).
Unfortunately, near the end of his week-after-the-election vacation we had a big scare when my future Mother-in-Law had a heart attack. I want to just thank ALL of you guys out there who prayed, helped, supported, and calmed us (me because JP deals with serious medical issues better than I do) down during these events. It means more than you know to have the support of the family/friends network during times like that. I can say now Mrs. Walsh is doing EXCELLENTLY. Except for slight lack of energy (which is coming back quite quickly now), you wouldn't even know this woman was sick. She's a champion and we're so thankful for the successful procedures and her rapid recovery.
Despite much drama, yelling, tears and finally "giving it up to Jesus" JP was finally offered a position in the Rick Scott administration. THANKFULLY, it is a position in his DC offices and I am once again living with a boy!!!! This was my favorite Christmas gift of all this holiday season and JP is absolutely thrilled to not only be gainfully employed again, but to be employed doing something he loves. Well, we're assuming it will be something he loves...they haven't exactly given him a solid job description yet (its been two months). NOW QUIT ASKING FOR DETAILS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE!!!!!! I'll keep everyone posted on further updates on his ever changing career path.
I started grad school at GW in January and managed to register for classes, fill out loan paperwork, set up school IDs and go to orientation in the course of a week. Because this is the world's craziest MBA program, I have also totally finished my first 3 classes over the past 8 weeks (last week I took my first round of finals...dear sweet baby Jesus I forgot how much finals suck!). It's been pretty cool though so far...I'm excited about all the skillz I'm learning. I FINALLY have a third person on my billing team at work though, so that should reduce my stress levels significantly. He's the bomb.com and I've been elevated to "homie" status with him and work is significantly less sucky now. fall
Many hilarious stories will continue be related on this website as JP and I attempt to do things together like live on a budget, get in shape, take a cruise, plan a wedding, host parties, visit family, prepare for marriage, meet the gaggle of new babies that are being born this spring, and generally not kill each other fall in love with each other all over again.
Lets hope I can keep this up...
Jill-Ron
