February has been somewhat eventful thus far. On February 9 I went home for a few days. It was the first time since December of last year. The first thing I realized is that Florida is incredibly HOT! I have no IDEA how I lived there for so long. Not that I am a Washingtonian by any stretch of the means but I must be getting acclimated to the weather out here. So while I was home I enjoyed some AMAZING food made by the parents (chili, steaks in a port sauce, and RIBS!). Oh how I miss those meals. OH! And Dad made me a Mickey Waffle! YUM! I got my doctor appointments out of the way on the 10th and met up with AJ for lunch. I enjoy how every time I come home he makes time for me. What a great friend =). I also chopped my hair off, which was quite rejuvenating. On the 11th I went out with my mom and aunt for lunch and then we went to the mall to walk around. I got a killer pair of heels for only $20! SWEET! I flew home the next day, sadly. I must say that Spartacus has grown SO much. He actually remembered who I was, which was nice. He is still the rambunctious pup that gave to Mom and Dad in June, just bigger.
Valentine's Day has also come and gone. It was somewhat uneventful. Jake got me a beautiful orchid and a card. I made him homemade sugar cookies that were cut into hearts and I decorated them. I made a nice dinner and that was that. Nothing spiffy but it worked.
I've officially been at my job for 3 months. Looks like I'll become permanent next week since my 3 month mark was during a pay period. I'm pretty excited to be a real employee =). Jake also started a new job last week. He seems to really enjoy it, which is nice. He seems happier these days.
Sassy is loving life, sans the ear infection she just can't seem to shake. Her right ear is ALWAYS problematic. I feel so bad for her. She is getting a little better about letting Jake clean her ear. She still fights when it REALLY hurts, but she isn't running away any more. We give her lots of pets and hugs and treats when she is a good girl.
