Yeah buddy! I am sore. My stomach and back muscles have been singing to me all morning. It actually feels good! It has been so long since I knew I actually had muscles back there still! This is one of the biggest reasons I decided to knuckle down and get moving. My back hurts a lot, more lately because I have been more active. Now I need to get to work and strengthen up!!
Today we go and do our taxes. We should get close to $10,000 back~! I am tickled! The reason we are getting so much back is all the taxes we paid out with our reelistment bonus. I have quite a few plans for that money, including a substantial bit going into our savings account. We have decided to actually buy ourselves a bed! Yes, we have a bed now and have always had a bed but only a mattress and boxspring. We have never had a frame for our bed. There is this gorgeous canopy at Rooms to Go I have had my eye on. Lord, king size beds get expensive though!
Another thing we plan on doing is having an island built in our kitchen. We found one we like at Lowe's that has a bar that lifts up off the opposite end for two bar stools. It would be perfect for the girls to sit and have breakfast in the morning. I really need the island for the extra space, counter and storage. Oh, I also need a china hutch but more open and countryish. There was a hutch that went with our diningroom table but it was way too formal.
One thing that was decided on last night is Michael will get a new bed. This kid sleeps in his sister's room on her futon or with her half the time. We have said that if he sleeps in his room the entire week, he gets this loft bed he has had his eye on. It has a slide going off of it on top of it and there are choices of different tents that turn the bed into a playhouse. The two I have my eye on is a firetruck one that has the ladder up in a tower, mimicking the fire pole chute. The other is a sports one which I think we will lean toward. He wants his room all Jeff Gordon. ( DON'T ASK!) There is even a Jeff Gordon ceiling fan he has his eye on. LOL
We have decided on where we are going for the summer. Disney World! Mike is a coach for AAU baseball and the team had a tournament there. They play two weekends and the week inbetween they enjoy the parks. Now I have to let my mom know what is up. She will be crushed. She really wanted us to go to MN to visit her. You know, Emily and Michael both would rather go there. I might just have him go with the rest of the team and the rest of us can go visit her. I can stop off in VA and pick up my sister maybe and the two of us can both go! Yeah, I just thought of that. I like it! I will have to bring it up to Angie.
