Good News Wednesday!

I am needing some good news today, so come on and share :)

Re: Good News Wednesday!

  • I'm heading to the US in 2 weeks and one day! wahoo!
  • Lame good news, but still very exciting for me:  I found a grocery that carried dried beans -- not just lentils and split peas, but white beans, red beans, pinto beans, and black-eyed peas!  I am so excited.  I have missed a good source of dried beans.  To celebrate the find, I bought a package of white beans and am doing white beans and rice for dinner this weekend.

  • My 6 month old son said "MaMa" today as his first word!!  It was especially great because I was having the hardest day taking care of him and his 22 month old brother! Sometimes it is the small things that make all of the crazy times worth it! :)

  • I found a power wheel on Craig's list for Quint for only $50 and it is in GREAT shape.  We're going to get it this morning.

    I have a slight Craig's List addiction. 

  • I just got back from my Visa interview in Frankfurt and was approved for one!!!! im really moving to the US in 4 weeks and my husband and i have 3 whole years together with NO deployments!!!!!!!!

    couldnt be happier right now!!! 

  • My grandma is coming into town tomorrow for 5 days!  I haven't seen her since my wedding 2 years ago.  After moving to Israel, I was scared I might never get the chance to see her again (she's 87) so I can't wait to give that little old lady a big big hug!

    Me too.  I sometimes like to read the casual encounters section.  It gets very entertaining.

     My good news?  Umm.  H and I are going to Italy a week from Saturday.  The IL's are flying here on Tuesday and are watching Will so we can have an adult vacation.  I'm super excited, but also sad to leave my little guy.  I have a feeling he'll take his first steps while we're gone so we're working on it a lot this week.   

  • I fit into a size 18 dress! I'm down from a 20/22, and it feels fantastic.

    JEALOUS!!  The only dried bean/legume I've found here is lentils. Can't stand it.  What I wouldn't do for a big ol' pot of pinto beans.

    Awww, that must be lovely!

    And Bananas: that's great! Well done!

    My good news: they've moved a really nice co-worker to our office & she'll have the "pleasure" of working for our new department boss who is renowned for being very disorganised & demanding. And I get to keep working for a bunch of very friendly people who won't expect me to sleep in the office! I feel like I've dodged a bullet.

  • H got me a smartphone for our anniversary and I'm having so much fun playing with it :)

    That's great Bananas!

  • It's looking like I can go to my brother's wedding!

    Awesome job Banana, I promise, it gets easier, the first few pounds are the hardest.
