Thanks for the prayers, guys! Laura and I drove back to Maryland last night. We're planning to be back in Delaware on Saturday to check in on Deda again. In the mean time he has more than twice the allowed amount of visitors at any given time, so I'm sure the nurses were relieved to see some of the Kukich clan leaving for a few days. Deda is recovering amazingly well so far. We've all been encouraged by his repeated attempts to trick us into letting him just walk out of the hospital. Deda is actually a celebrated spy from WWII (yep. you can Google him) We're guessing he still has some of that spy training in him. And side note:"Deda" is Serbian for "Grandpa". (Look at you, learning something new everyday!)
In other news, Remember that interview I had last week? Well, as of Monday evening, circa 7:30pm, I officially became a member of the WORKING CLASS! That's right, folks, my days as a trophy wife are over! I'm meeting with the HR representative today to get all the paperwork filled out, etc. and I will be on my way back to "Business Danielle" post haste.
In the mean time, Rob got my Christmas package in the mail today, complete with half of a travel-sized "battleship" game. He is currently sinking all of my ships via internet. You'd think as competitive as I am, I would have picked a game that he doesn't actually have TRAINING in. You know, like Chutes and Ladders, or Connect Four. I might as well have picked "Risk".
Stupid Battleship...

Still more prayers for Deda ~

You know Danielle, it really amazes me how strong you are. I don't know if I'd be able to keep such a wonderful sense of humor were I in your shoes. You are such an inspiration.
By the way - what's the new job? I think I missed that somewhere...
Oh, and tonights the first night of Chanukah - so feel free to break out in "I Have a Little Driedel" at any point in the next eight days!

Hey, if you choose "other" as your identity, it will let you put your name in (even without a membership or website).
The job is a contractor position.
Thanks for the encouragement! I won't lie, there have been some tough days lately- but we've got our game faces on!
P.S. all I know is "driedel driedel driedl, I made you out of clay..." Unless the song stops there, I'm going to need some help.
Happy Chanukah!
Hey, congtats on the job!! I once played chess via snail mail (back before e-mail). Man am I old!
Daniella,
Just thought you should know that as I read the word Deda, I asked myself if there was some Slav background involved. You see Deda is also short for dedacek pronounced dedachek, meaning grandfather here in the Czech Republic. Passing on more knowledge...this blog truly provides the reader with a cornucopia of knowledge.
Hey, Czech Republic!
I had no idea anyone out there read my little blog! Thanks for the quick lesson. :-)
Daniella is what they called me when we lived in Italy.
