Writing on the Wall

A few things have transpired the last couple of days that I am just now getting the chance to write about. 

Julianne peed in her potty the other day.  Granted it was completely by accident, after me quickly putting her there when she started to pee on the floor, but the point is she actually got some where it was supposed to go.  And she was so pleased with herself.  Precious little girl!

Second...it looks like a trip to Holland is in the cards this year after all.  Hubby just got a promotion at work that came with a HUGE raise.  Totally not what either of us was expecting.  After a year of no raises at work due to the recession that has hit EVERYWHERE we knew one was coming...but not when nor how much.  But much to our surprise it was earlier than anticipated and grander than we could have imagined.  So we are planning a trip so that Julianne's Oma can actually see her granddaughter in the flesh for the first time.  And other relatives too.

I hate planning trips.  So much to take care of before we can go anywhere.  I need a new passport and Julianne NEEDS a passport.  So that will be the first thing we take care of.  Then to actually figure out when would be a good time to go.  The cheapest flight we have found so far is in May.  A little sooner than I would have liked but we'll see how it pans out.  Seems it's MUCH cheaper if we go before Juliannne turns 2.  Otherwise we have to pay for a seat for her and although it's not full  price it's still pretty damn expensive.

But life is good and all things will work out the way they are supposed to.
