Blogging Slump

I feel like I have been in a slump the last few weeks, ever since Christmas really. I know I have posted a few things, but definitely not my normal for sure. It is not that we aren't doing things because we are, but I just don't feel like they are "blog-worthy" and I don't always have pictures to go with the events and that makes me not want to post either. But tonight I thought I would take a minute and just re-cap about the past few days, or weeks, and fill in the gaps about what has really been going on in our lives.

* My knee recovery is going great actually. I am continuing with physical therapy 3 times a week and am back to 80% according to my last doctor visit which was last week. I can straighten it no problem but still have some pulling sensation with the bending, but it is getting there for sure.

* I actually started a new job last week too. It is not a permanent job or anything substantial but it gets me out of the house a little more and brings in a little bit of "extra" money. I am helping a friend of mine with some data input a few hours a week for right now. It might turn into something different when I am done with this certain project but for right now that is what I am doing and I am fine with that. So far, so good.

* I am busy working and planning with the YW in the ward for an upcoming Valentine's dinner and sweet auction to help us earn some money for Girls Camp. We have been making centerpieces, posters, paddles, etc. and hopefully we will be ready for the dinner that is coming up on Feb. 13th.

* Dan has been working, working, working. He not only has been busy with the new contract at Mandalay Bay but he has been doing some systems at night and also just picked up a new contract with a Toys R Us and a Century Theater as well. He will be busy for a while with those for sure.

* Dan has also been busy with a special project in the house. He just finished building shelves and customizing the closet in the "nursery". I love it and am so excited. It really looks good. We are going to start working on painting and really putting it together now. Just in case... you never know!

* We of course have been busy on Sunday's cheering for our Steelers and it has paid off. They made it all the way to the Super Bowl and we could not be more excited. We can't wait until Feb. 1 when we can watch then win and make it #6 for them. Go Big Ben!

So... like I said, we have not really been doing anything exciting but we have been busy all the same.

Aranne, I am so glad that your knee is getting better and that you can start to bend it. Now that the nursery is getting underway, something is bound to happen. Have you had any feelings about anything lately? I know that you will. Our yw/ym had an auction last year to earn money. It turned out great! the kids made things, like you said. They also offered volunteer time tending, working in yards, house cleaning, etc. People made treats to sell that night. We also had ward members donate tickets to events that we sold too. I think we earned around 5,000. It was awesome!!! Anyway, have a great day. LY Lisa
