Well, I'm finally able to eat again- and I'm not sure that's a good thing! LOL I've definitely been enjoying MORE than my fair share of Christmas goodies this season. We went back to IA last weekend to have Xmas with both our families and I think I went up a pant size over the weekend!! I shouldn't laugh, it really isn't funny. I'm probably enjoying the holidays a little more this year than I should, but we haven't had a good Christmas in quite a while, so I'm splurging. I know I'll regret it come January, but for now I'm not going to sit here and bitch about how fat I'm getting...I'm completely aware that my pants are tighter and I get winded going up a flight of stairs. No newsflash. But things are looking up, finally!!
Jon accepted the position in Indiana and we found a place to live, YAY!! We'll now be calling South Bend, IN "home". At least for the next 6mths. It sucks b/c they want to train him for 6mths and then move him to be in charge of one of the smaller companies either in South Bend or West Lafayette and it's looking like it will be the latter. I'm still hoping they'll just keep him in South Bend, but only time will tell. It would be nice to stay in the town we get to know rather than picking up and moving, yet again to a town we're completely unfamiliar with.
I have something to keep me focused again! South Bend has a big Marathon/Half Marathon race on June 2nd through the city...finishing at the University of Notre Dame. I'm really excited about this. It will be exactly one year after my 20K! I just may have convinced Jon to do it with me too!! Another cool thing is there's a running trail just behind where we live along the river...very nice. OH- and we're getting Murphy back too! That's our beagle, he's been living with my parents since the start of the deployment. I miss that little guy, he's so lovable and is a big cuddler. Just love him.
There's a quick update. I hope everyone's having a great holiday, and thank you so much for the well wishes regarding my wisdom teeth. It royally sucked, but....IT'S OVER!
Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Melissa. So glad to hear the good news about Jon's job, etc. Take care and have lots of fun!
Okay, you sound like me. I was doing great until my back went out and now I am enjoying Christmas goodies a little too much myself. We are going to have to hit it hard come January but I am already thinking about my goals and wanting to look really great by spring. Enjoy your holiday and congrats on your move. I am so glad you are getting your dog back. I miss mine so much!
Remember, I am there for you so get prepared to hit it hard come January!!
Merry Christmas!
My wife's family still lives in West Lafayette. It is a wonderful college town and I always enjoy my visits. They even have a bike/jogging path along the river for miles!
If you do move there, consider West Lafayette over Lafayette. There are some great new suburbs on the north side of West Lafayette with lots of green belts.
Awesone news about Jon. Best of success to you guys. Hope you have a wonderful Happy New Year!!!!!
