Back to the Grind

Well I'm back to work today, so sad.  I love having time off from work to spend at home with my hubs and puppies!  It's so nice and relaxing, usually haha.  Thankfully I only work today and tomorrow and then I have another 4 day weekend for New Year's.  Yay!  Next week will be brutal with having to work 4 days, I know I'm such a big baby.  Oh how much I wish we lived out in the middle of nowhere where me and the SIL could start our own horse boarding stable.  We could totally kick ass at it!  So how was everyone's Christmas?  Mine was very nice.  We spent most of the holiday with the in-laws and my hubs side of the family.  It was our first Christmas in our new house and our first Christmas together as a married couple where we did not have to drive all the way from Jville to see the family.  My in-laws got me a sewing table for my new sewing machine.  I'm so excited because sitting it on the coffee table and sitting on the floor while using it is a bit difficult.  I'm hoping that I'll be able to start gathering up material soon to make a new quilt for our bed.

Before Christmas I sent an email to an old friend that I lost touch with when I moved down to Jville that I used to ride with and this morning I had a response from her.  I was super excited because I was not even sure that she still used that email.  I used to lease her horse and even named my horse after her horse because they are cousins.  Most of my horse friends from back in the day are no longer into horses due to college and life in general so it will be super nice to get back in touch with an old riding buddy.  It's nice to get in touch with old friends and learn what's been going on in their lives and the lives of people that you know (what, good ole fashioned gossip is fun haha).  The hubs is going hunting yet again soon, so hopefully I'll be able to meet up with her then since I'm sure I'll have extra time to do absolutely nothing.  What did I do when the hubs was deployed for 7 months???  I'm bored when he's only gone 2 days now!  It's too cold to spend hours at the barn, so that leaves me watching Netflix, a lot.  Oh what would I do without Netflix???  Guess I better get back to working since I'm only here a couple days this week, yay!
