F*ck Yeah, Baby!!!


TD got the job at Think Tank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 years of commuting ends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy I could bust - he's having to take a bit of a pay cut, but it'll not really be a cut when you factor in the thousands of dollars we'll save not buying plane tickets and having two households. Plus, there's the unquantifiable mental and emotional toll of commuting that will now be alleviated.

It's going to be so weird living together again. Who is this stranger who's here all the time? Wait, and what are these other two strange things????

Awesome.

    What a relief!!! I must say -- when I heard you were having twins, I thought, "Goodness, that's a lot to nadle alone...." And now you don't have to!!

    Yay! The gods have smiled upon you!

    And I'm smiling soooo wide for you, too!

    Woot!

    oops: I meant, "a lot to handle alone" -- though I bet it's a lot to nadle alone, too.

    Congrats! Life with a hubby again will be easy to get used to, and you have time to do that before everything changes when the babies arrive :)

    YESYESYESYESYES!!!!

    Good for you guys (and for the manatees). This has been a good couple of months, no?

    Hooray for good stuff happening to good people!!

    Word verification is "enthlig," which I think would make a good name for either Thing One or Thing Two.

    That's wonderful news! We only did the commuting relationship for one year as freeway fliers but that was enough. Can't imagine more and I'm sure you're both going to be happy.
