We have all been varying degrees of sick around here. Hannah and I were spared the worst of it, but poor Ryan has been quite miserable for a few days now. I did force him to eat a few bites of the top layer of our wedding cake.
Sunday was our one year wedding anniversary. It has not always been the easiest year, but it has been a good one. Ryan is a good husband, stepdad and father and I am lucky to have him in my life.
I officially moved my "return to work" date up two weeks. HR looked at me like
I was crazy when I met with them. I think I am probably the only person to ever request to end an approved leave early. I had to meet with the head of HR and get special permission to return to my own job which was a bit weird. I am really sad to have to leave Hannah earlier than planned but it will be good for us to get back to two full salaries. I went to take Hannah to visit the kids the other day and it actually helped me feel a bit more excited about my return. I do enjoy many things about my job and it was good to be reminded of those things.
Today was supposed to be our big Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet. As a Den leader I was heading over early to set up. Ryan, as the Cub Master, was going to go straight there from work. I woke the baby up from her nap, and managed to convince Isaac to put on jeans only to find that my van had a puddle of mysterious liquid under it and no power steering. So we never managed to leave the house today. I had the van towed to my brother's garage am skeeping my fingers crossed that the repairs won't be too expensive.
Happy Wednesday!
