[hikerchick]

Amen to that! Seriously, I am very grateful that he has such a good job, even if it is very challenging for us as a family at times.

 

[hikerchick]

He is from Salem but moved to Sacramento area for work, he is a stock broker and trader, and a buddy of mine is from Cali but moved here for two years and when he moved back to Cali I went down and visited him, and I guess it was a setup that Darren had been hearing about me for a while and so when I went to dinner with my friend I was visitng Darren was there and we stayed together the rest of the trip and have been just totally head over heels since then.

 

[hikerchick]

awwwww.....that's so sweet! You guys will work it out.

When my husband and I started dating he was in the navy. After we were going out for four months he got shipped out for four months, we couldn't talk the whole time. When he got back he asked me to marry him. I was head over heels for him. When we got married I was still in college and his sub got transferred to CT (we were both in NH), I finished out the semester at UNH so we didn't even live together the first 4 months we were married. I definitely feel your pain!

Oh I know and that is the reason I don't pack up and leave, I have a year and a half left at portland state to get my accounting degree and then I have an offer from the recuiter for PriceWaterhouseCooper for a position with them where ever I want

Sooo are you liking working out at the gym???
I really like working out in the mornings!!!! Going good so far!!

hope your having a great night.. I'm still at work..and its 5:20pm-

 

[hikerchick]

Hey sweetie!
It is so great to be back at the gym. I get so motivated seeing all of the hot bods! Although, since I started yesterday I have been absolutely starving all of the time. It doesn't make too much sense because I've been working out all along, but I guess I'm finally working my muscles harder.

Anyway, so glad your morning workouts are going well! Isn't that the best feeling? well, okay, maybe not the BEST feeling, but still a good one!

Sorry you're still at work get outta there!

 

[hikerchick]

Okay, so my husband just called from work and tells me he's leaving for Ireland in 2 weeks rather than 3. It may not seem like a big deal but it is! He just got home on Sunday and now he's leaving for another 10 weeks! So, I was ripping the cupboards apart looking for some comfort food. Luckily, there wasn't any there. I did eat an organic, whole grain granola bar that I bought for my daughter, but oh well, better than ice cream right? I'm going to go have a protein shake now...
