Here's to a good start!

   Hello again! It seems like I just posted and the new year was starting. I cannot believe it is February already! So crazy!
   Things are going well for us. Glen was a temp at this company called Advanced Online and they offered him a permanent position, which we are very excited about! He really enjoys his job, which is nice to see. It challenges him and keeps him busy which he enjoys.
   I started school again and it has kept me moving. In  little over two weeks (yikes...) I will be taking the THEA test which is the placement test that I need to get into UTA's education program. Then after that I will start in the fall and be done in two years. I know it's not really that long but it feels like a lifetime away. I was finding that with school, I could only work a few hours a week and only working a few hours a week barely covers the gas needed to get me there. So...I put my two week's notice in at Things Remembered last week. My last day will be next Wednesday. Scary for me because I get super stir crazy when I don't feel like I am contributing. But Glen says focusing on school is contributing, so I try to remind myself of that. I enjoyed working with people (most of the time (: ) but I can't say that I am sad to leave the retail world, because that would be a lie. I like the idea of getting weekends to have time with my family.
   Other than work and school we did some fun stuff this month. My birthday was on the 18th and my hubby spoiled me like he does so well. We had a little "stay-cation" which was nice. We also went shopping, had some dinner, and he got me a delicious cold stone cake. It took me forever to finish it but it was tasty. Then we celebrated with my family the following Monday. Overall good good birthday.
   Glen's mom, Corrine came to visit as well. She got to witness the crazy schedule we're always talking about (sorry about that!) and we got to have some fun too. She took us out to dinner for my birthday at Texas Roadhouse (yummmm) and we went with my parents to the Fort Worth Stock Show which was fun as well.
   We're keeping busy but still trying to have some fun too! It's been kinda cold here in the south and we are not enjoying that. But I refuse to admit to the need for an actual coat. I just plain refuse. :)
   We're enjoying trying to change some not so great habits, like we planned to do this year and I think it's going pretty well. To be honest, Glen is doing better than me but it's not a contest, right? :).
