Thanks for all the well wishes everyone. Things are getting better slowly but surely.
CE - I already told Jim I am taking a long weekend to "visit my parents", but it will probably next year, since we aren't going to do a big trip next year and it will give us some time to save some money. We spent extra on my airfare and all the Co-Pays that we weren't/didn't plan on in August.
I'm going to try and plan it over food and wine fest, but it will be a very "economical trip. I will probably fly, but stay with my parents since I would be by myself
