Wishing that John didn't have to go back to work in early morning. It was nice to have him home with us all week, so much so that we got spoiled just having him here. I'm hopeful for the day when he will be able to leave and be at work in only a few minutes again. They are telling him the rig will be back near our house by February so hopefully that is the case. Where he is now isn't terribly far but with winter and the roads, deer, etc. I hate him having to make that trip. It's longer now for him to get to the hotel than it was before. He has to go about 20 miles to the site. It's kind of silly actually because it's only 31 miles to the site from home but 11 miles 1 way adds up to an additional 22 miles of travel a day for him and that's still a lot.
I am busy trying to prepare for spring and what comes next for our family. We have a lot of things we'd like to do this summer so we plan on concentrating on getting all of our bills paid off so that we can do them. You think that when you're making a better income you'd budget better but with birthdays, holidays, etc. we spent sooooooo much that now we're having to pay down the credit cards and get back to saving. We'd like to go to Ireland soon, possibly this year or next, Hawaii and the boys really want to go back to Disney. Depending on what God has in store for us, we may or may not be able to do any of that but the desire to travel is in our hearts. Well off to get these boys to sleep. I need to work on getting John's things in order for his job.
