Back in Houston

2 months. Its been over 2 months since I updated my blog. I've become such a slacker.
So, what's happened in the last 2 months??

We moved back to Houston! Both of us <3. Longest month ever without him. We were apart longer between the times he and I moved to Houston than we were all the months we were dating cross- country.
We found a house! Its not perfect but its perfect for us. It'll be a good started home. Its got 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a little kitchen, lots of previous DIY repairs/projects and a big ole backyard that I can't wait to get started on. We've turned in paperwork and such so now we're just waiting on the bank.

Right now we're living with Mickey's mom. Let me just start by saying I am so grateful to have in-laws that I love. You hear people complain all the time about how they don't like their mother in law. Well, I like mine, a lot. That being said, I can't wait until we have our own place again. I want to be able to walk around in a towel or my underwear or naked if I feel like it. I want my dog to be able to follow me around the house. I want to be able to jump my husband in any room at any time and not care about how much noise we make. I want to watch my shows, eat chips in bed and have room to hang all my clothes in my closet.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not ungrateful. We are not making things any easier on her by moving all of our crap and issues into her house. His mom has been more than welcoming and accomodating.
But you know what I mean.

This week I'm alternating shifts with Jake at my mom's house. She had ACL replacement surgery on Tuesday and has her leg locked in a brace for 2 weeks. She'll wear the brace much longer but she can't bend it for at least a week. When they did the MRI on her knee she had no ACL- only a little bit of tissue on the bone so her knee keeps popping out of place. During her surgery, they took part of a hamstring muscle and put it in place of her ACL. She had a nerve block in her leg but that medicine ran out last night. She's starting to feel the pain a lot more today. She's getting better on the crutches though- able to walk to the bathroom almost completely by herself. Today we're going to attempt a shower lol. We'll see how that goes.

I get to volunteer at the zoo! Its not paid but I'm super excited nontheless. I did have an interview for Old Navy yesterday. I have a follow up interview with the GM this weekend. Its not a dream job but it will help with bills and give me the flexibility to volunteer at the zoo. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping for that to turn into a job before too long.

We've been married almost a year! Just over two weeks until our anniversary! This year went by so fast! I can't wait to see how the next year turns out. And what could be cooler than getting a house for our first anniversary?! Sure will be hard to top next year lol.

Happy 6 months to Cooper!
