Our story

[kolja]

Things have been pretty quiet on the marriage front. My wife never dropped off the mail over the weekend, instead she did it yesterday while I was at work, which is fine.

Today, she contacted me about some of the furniture in the house (particularly the bed in the master bedroom and some of the dressers she brought with her when she moved in). She asked if I was willing to pay her for them, since last week we agreed it was fair for her to have them (they HAD been her dressers after all, and we gave away the bed she had in her old apartment). Now I think a) she doesn't want to have to move big stuff and b) since she doesn't have a job yet, cash is more important to her.

I told her it would depend on a few things (namely if I can find new renters for the house I own in Nevada) and she was actually fairly understanding.

In other news though, in a short three days since setting up my 'team' for the cancer society fundraiser I've already raised $400 myself - obliterated how much I raised last year and already broke the goal I set this year.

Before THAT event actually takes place though, my dad and I are making plans to meet up and do some skiing on our own. We haven't been able to do that in a while. We'll be making a weekend out of it toward the end of February.

I'm also a step closer to re-entering one of my longtime hobbies that's been on a haitus since my last move with the military - my scale modelling work area is pretty much up and running so once I square away some display space for completed work, I'll be ready to get back into that which has ALWAYS been theraputic for me. The gym and running continue to go well also...
