I don't really know if any of you have been wondering what's been going on with me lately. Sorry to leave you all hanging! I know it's been a long time since I've updated this thing.
About a month ago, Justin surprised me with a trip back to Michigan for my 30th birthday. I knew we were going on a trip but he had me convinced we were going to D.C. I even got a hold of a friend there and made tentative plans to meet up. The weekend before we left, we joined some guys Justin works with for barbecuing and football. Justin and I were sitting at the table with another guy, Drew, and he asks, "So why are you guys heading to Michigan? Spend time with family?" Taylor, whose apartment we were at, stood there open-mouthed; Justin just stared at him and I was looking from Drew to Justin, trying to process what he just said. Finally Taylor says, "Dude, it was a surprise!" Drew felt terrible and we all had a good laugh at his expense. Even though I knew we were going to Michigan, I had no idea the big to-do Justin had planned. He had me convinced that none of my friends could make it down from GR. I was actually kind of mad at all of them! We were all hanging out in the basement of his parents' house when he asked me to go upstairs with him to help him bring some food down. Then all my friends popped out from behind the furniture and yelled, "Surprise!" It was so great to see everyone. I only wish we had had more time to hang out.
The week we got back, I started my new job! I'm working as a receptionist at a physical therapy clinic. Training was a little overwhelming but I guess that goes for any new job. I've got the basic gist of things but of course I'm still learning. I really like it so far. It's a nice change of pace to have a desk job. I'm also only working part time which is fine since Justin received a raise with his job.
Other than those bits of excitement, life is just chugging along. Oh and I guess if you really want to know, Justin and I are officially trying to start a family. I guess I caught my friends off guard when I told them at the party! I still assume everyone knows everything because that's how it always was. And, with that, we're also trying to make some changes regarding our health. We found a deal on Groupon for a food delivery program that we're going to try. Once we start that I'm probably going to write more so about the experience. So I hope you'll stick around!
