Yes, friends, it has been a while since I have posted a new blog. I know this is true. I am still struggling to find topics that won’t bore the crap out of people (don’t get your hopes up, I haven’t figured it out, so this post does not solve that problem). So in the absence of any other great ideas, I will give you a general update on what has been going on with us.
In January, our house got robbed. If you would like to know how I felt when this happened, please refer to my previous thievery post, Simplify Your Life. Since then I have had relatively nothing stolen, which has been great.
In February, Dan was finishing up coaching his travel baseball team, beginning practice with his regular season little league team, and putting on a weekend “Baseball Bootcamp”, STRETCH. Needless to say, we have been extremely busy (and by we, I mostly mean Dan) with baseball all year. I am happy to report that the P.A.L.L. Yankees will be heading into playoffs this weekend as division champs, and a record of 20-1! Dan’s goal, of course, is to win the whole enchilada and he will not REST until he does! I’ll keep you posted.
The first weekend in March, I went to NYC for the very first time to visit my dear friends, Kate Juillerat and Candice MacDonald. They had been living in Manhattan for about 4 years, and I had not been once! We had the best time, and of course, I absolutely loved New York City!
At the end of March, I injured my back. You will not be seeing any pictures from during this time. I pretty much layed on the floor for about 2 months straight. After many doctor visits, and tests, I found out that I had ruptured a disc in my lower back. I also found out that I have an old lady back, due to my degenerative disc disease. This is not cool. I had an epidural steroid injection (not the same thing as you get in labor) which has helped. I am currently in physical therapy. This is pretty much the only news I have to report from the entire Spring of ‘08.
The wedding season is beginning in the Noble family this month. Jonny & Sarah get married in a few weeks, and then Ben & Ady will tie the knot in Septmeber. This means two trips back to Indiana! Dan and I just celebrated our FOUR year anniversary on Friday. Time flies when you’re having fun!
I am thrilled that summer is here, as it is the best time of the year. My friend was worried this weekend that if we were out in the sun too much, we might get too tired. I told him that I do not get tired from being in the sun, because I am solar powered!! (does that get me any eco-friendly points?). I am energized by the sun, and it is my favorite thing to be outside on a sunshine day.
So, happy summer to all, and to all a good day.
AND your sister is in town for six weeks??? You forgot to mention that.
