Labor Day weekend is thankfully upon us as I could really use an extra day. (It's amazing what 1 more day on the weekend can do.) Mom is coming down tomorrow and keeping me company through the holiday. We're off to PA to visit the house and see all that's been done which I'm very excited about. The onsite realtor has been really nice about sending me photos each week so I can see what's gotten accomplished, but I still can't wait to see it all in person.
Thankfully, all seems to be going smoothly now and life seems to have evened out. Spencer is doing better. He's still not great with his back legs, but he's at least back to where he was. Now if we can get him to walk some more and really build up those muscles that would make me feel soooo much better about the upcoming cooler weather. The girls are almost ready to start college and we picked up most of their books yesterday. Will be nice, at least for Andee, to get back to a routine after the summer months. She did manage to find a job this last week so that has helped give her something to do as all of her friends have now headed off to college.
On the downer side, Andy's trip has been extended 10 days. Originally 5 weeks, now 7. Major ughness. I've thanked my lucky stars that he's not still active military and it's not a year long deployment. Plus at least I get to talk to him pretty much every day. Still after working together side-by-side for the last 7+ years it's a little lonely, especially now that Andee's not around the house as much. I've gotten to enjoying my romantic dinners with Spencer. Very cute and cuddly, but still not the same. So in the meantime I continue to count down the days and be grateful that it seems to pass relatively quickly.
The girls bought silly bandz that say BRB (Be Right Back) and XOXO along with a few other text acronyms. So all of us including Andy are wearing them till he returns. Spence even has his BFF band on since it was the smallest and actually stayed on.
