Hello Claus Bloggers,
It's been a while since I last posted, but I do have good news. I passed my End of Course test for me becoming a 7-level in Aerospace Integrated Avionics! I now have a huge load of stress taken off of my shoulders. Although, I have to take on more responsibility while I'm at work. Which I am fine with. Yaoyao and I picked up a huge desk for her to study and finish her last year of college. We researched and found out it was made in Indiana by Shelbyville Desk Co. They are no longer in business, but you can find desks similar to it. We love it! The desk is so large we could not bring it upstairs to our loft. We decided to put it where our dining table has been and moved our dining table where our living room was. Plus side to that is it is closer to bring food from the kitchen to the table. Down-side is we have barely in furniture in the current dining room. Our living room now is nicely furnished. We traveled a down the road to our local thrift store and picked out nice picture frames and paintings. That little bit alone made the house feel cozy! My co-worker was living with us for 2 weeks until he deployed. He is keeping his belongings on the new overhead storage rack I installed in our garage. The storage rack is big enough to hold everything he had. The dimensions of it are 8 feet long by 4 feet wide. TAX RETURN CAME IN! Guess what that means? I know you know. It is time to treat ourselves a little bit. Yaoyao and I have decided to keep about 85 percent of it. The rest we are going to treat ourselves either with a little vacation or buy some more furniture. We decided to split the tax return 50/50. We found that to be the best. I hope all of you have had a great first month of the year! 2017 has definitely been interesting so far.
Cheers,
