Kyle had another 4 day weekend for the New Years holiday, it was nice to have him home but even nicer that we had no plans to do anything.
We spent the weekend getting stuff done around the house. We took down our Christmas decorations and that led to organizing the garage, it has been a mess since we moved in. Now we can safely maneuver around in there without having a box or tote fall on us haha.
Netflix finally put seasons 13-15 of Law and Order SVU on streaming so I spent a good portion of each night binge watching and it was glorious, well except for the extremely creepy dream I had one night because of it.
I also finally started reading Unbroken, I slacked on reading all of 2014 and I want to change that this year. I love the book so far!
Sunday, we celebrated sweet Emma's 11th birthday. I am sure to some it is weird that we celebrate a dogs birthday but oh well to us she is a member of the family. :)

Today starts our new normal, Kyle will finally get to do his job and training rotations will now be happening monthly and I will barely get to see him (I am thankful that his bosses are letting him attend my brothers AF retirement next week in Florida). Hopefully soon I will get my start date for work too, we will see.
Hope you all had an amazing weekend!!
Glad you had a relaxing weekend. Want to organize our storage? Haha. And happy birthday, Emma!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love any time I have "off" with the husband and like it even more if we don't have any official plans! How awesome does it feel to finally have the garage organized? I swear organizing our garage makes me feel like I have a brand new house!! haha!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good weekend. I need to take an organizing jump from you. We've been gone so much since the holidays things are a big of a mess at our home. Hopefully we can get Christmas down, soon.
ReplyDeletehappy Monday!
I love lazy weekends every once in a while! Sounds like so much fun! :) Also, I'm glad you're enjoying Unbroken so far... LOVE it! :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are settling in! Happy Birthday Emma!
ReplyDelete:) Thank you!
DeleteWe celebrate the birthday of our fur baby too. Yeah training, though necessary, really eats into the time we'd love to spend with our families. I console myself with knowing that J will be able to do his job well when he deploys so that the sacrifice we make for our relationship is worth it if it means he can come home alive.
ReplyDeleteI loved the film, but I'm pretty sure I'd ball my eyes out over the book - let me know what you think!
ReplyDeleteI am dying over that picture! Happy Birthday! And SVU is so addicting, my parents bought my all the seasons on DVD one year in college and I stayed up for two days just watching it. LOL. Ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteEmma is too freaking cute in that pic!
ReplyDeleteAww look at her party hat!! Happy Birthday to her. And hurrah for long weekends!
ReplyDeleteHaha, tearing down Christmas decorations always ends up in extra organizing for us, too. It just gets the ball rolling and then it's hard to stop.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you're reading Unbroken!! SUCH a good book. The first 1/3rd of it was hard to get through just because it felt like it dragged on and on (talking about his running and childhood and everything) but the rest of the book, I could not put it down. Probably the first book in YEARS I've actually cried reading. SO GOOD.
Unbroken was such a good book. I can't wait to see the movie!
ReplyDeleteWe celebrate our dog's bday too. Our daughter makes us :) Is that a doggy bday hat or just a person one? I'm sure we would need one specifically for dogs if there is such thing! I hope you enjoy Unbroken. It really is a great book. I can't wait to watch the movie.
ReplyDeleteOh, Emma looks so sweet in that picture! Jett's 10 month birthday is on my birthday this week, so I fully intend on celebrating with cake for us and pupcakes for them. So I don't blame you one bit...I should get hats...
ReplyDeleteHAHA! Emma is adorable. Not sure if you've seen it but there is a FB page for a little boy who loves dogs. It's called Photo doggies for Anthony. He would get a kick out of this picture of Emma.
ReplyDeleteI just finished all 10 seasons of Criminal Minds and I need something else to watch. I think I've seen almost all the SVU but I'll watch the new episodes anyway!!!
:) I've seen that FB it's so awesome!
DeleteSounds like a nice, relaxing weekend! And we totally celebrate our dogs' birthdays... they are our furballs aka children :)
ReplyDeleteLazy weekend are the best. I'm interested in Unbroken.. let me know how you like it!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Emma! We celebrate the dogs' birthdays here too. They need to have their special day just like humans.
ReplyDeleteI ADORE that Emma got a birthday celebration. Our oldest cat is 11 so I feel the love.
ReplyDeleteso glad you had more time together over the holidays!!
ReplyDeletehere's to 2015!

I hope Emma had a happy birthday! :) As Geronimo is getting older (eight and a half!) I hug him a little tighter and a little longer.
ReplyDeleteGreat weekend!
ReplyDeleteEmma looks so cute in her little hat. :)
Unbroken is on my to-read list! I'm glad you're liking it so far.
ReplyDeleteUnbroken is one of my favorite books! I can't wait to see the movie!
ReplyDeleteYou will love Unbroken! And that party hat for the pup is so freaking cute. Not weird at all that you celebrated her birthday, I would do the same!
ReplyDeleteI am oddly excited for four days, haha. And I fully support pet birthday parties.
ReplyDeleteEmma has the sweetest face! So glad things are settling in more for you. :)
ReplyDeleteUnbroken was good. I read it awhile ago. Yea for long weekends with no plans. Hohhot Florida! Hopefully it warms up before you get here :) kind of chilly lately.
