We have had such a fun past couple of months! I went from the most bored housewife in the history of housewifery {that's a word, y'all} to actually having things to do and people to do them with. Karl and I met the most wonderful couple here thru Karl's work/squadron softball team and we have been seeing a lot of them lately! I'm praising God for friendship and fellowship! In other news, we also just got back from an awesome long weekend in Colorado with my parents and Gammy which deserves a whole big long post full of pictures as does my girls weekend in Kansas City and 48 hours at home... all of which happened right before Colorado!
In food allergy news... I have totally given up trying to eliminate all my trigger foods from my diet... until I had a come to Jesus doctors appointment yesterday. My gastroenterologist told me that my esophagus is as fragile as crepe paper. Awesome. This is a problem because if I continue to eat what I want, my esophagus will only get worse and will only get smaller and more tight which will lead to a need to have it dilated which is a major problem for fragile tissue. So I came home and made an appointment with a registered dietician. And spent lots of money at Sprouts on things like meatless bacon and sunflower butter. Woof. Karl is helping me research food allergies, testing, and EE and figure out how we can really change our diets and lifestyles to accommodate this, which is so helpful and makes me feel a lot less overwhelmed than I have been. However, I can't continue to cheat and blow this off. So, here goes my second attempt, and if this is anything like trying to stop cracking my knuckles or stop smoking {which I hear is hard} than this will likely not be my last attempt.
In future news... Karl is on the job hunt in Arlington and we look at real estate literally everyday. We.are.so.excited. We spend a lot of time dreaming about weekend trips to Oklahoma, Karl hunting, time in Little Rock and Fayetteville with best friends, babysitting nephews & niece & cousins, helping my parents with DIY projects, road trips that are more than 6 hours away {Air Force restriction}, Karl finishing school... the list goes on. We know it won't all be rainbows and butterflies and there are a few really awesome perks that we'll miss about the Air Force but we cannot wait for a new adventure {have I said this before??} We will both be going home in 4 short weeks for Baby Finn's birth and for Karl to have some interviews- it is so crazy to me that we are already planning the logistics of our move and the next year!! I'm going to attempt to post more frequently, I really want to document this time in our lives well so I don't forget the little details!
Sincerely,
Meatless Hannah K.C. Burton
