2008 was good to us. No major problems came about, thank god !!!! Freddie was fairly busy at work and only had to travel a few times during the year. I'm still a stay at home housewife. I did do some freelance work for my old company for a few months in 2008. As I look back at my time with the company (23 years) I know I got out at the right time. Massive layoffs occurred last year and if I was still there I would have been part of those statistics anyway.
I spend my time walking ( 3 days a week for about 3 - 5 miles each walk) and when I feel like it I also go to the gym to workout. I got back into cooking and I love it. I now have the time to cook proper meals everyday and Freddie has no complaints in that department.
Our dog Brandi loves the fact that I am home everyday with her. When I am in the kitchen preparing a meal, there she is lying at my feet hoping I drop something. Just the other day as I was preparing my breakfast, I left the kitchen for something and when I turned around she snatched my 2 pieces of bread from the counter.
She acts like she never eats!!! but that's a dog for ya.In September, we drove to Chicago for a family affair. We stopped off in Ohio to visit with Freddie's sister, then we drove to Michigan to visit with Jason, Alexis and Caitlin. While there Jason showed us around town and the campus. That night rather than going out Jason and Alexis made pizza ( which was very good ) and we played a game called Apples to Apples. We all had fun plus we had time to spend with Caitlin. The next day we left for Chicago. All in all the trip was very nice.
Freddie was off the last 2 weeks of December and he got to relax and chill and not think about work. Brandi was in doggie heaven because he took her to this open field every morning to play ball. Usually she only gets this treat on the weekends.
That pretty much sums up 2008. Sounds boring probably but what the heck, we are happy!!!!
Great! It sounds like life is going well for all, especially Brandi- what a life!
