This is for you Andrea :)

I probably haven't set this up quite right yet, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Since we have moved from SLC to Redlands, CA I have had plenty of time on my hands since jobs are nearly non-existent. However, that doesn't mean I don't have anything to do. I have been baking a lot more and trying to be crafty. Both are more expensive than I thought unfortunately.

On Monday I got a job interview and I feel it went really well. I just forgot to ask when I should hear back from them and now I'm just waiting impatiently for a phone call. I also have had a lot of time on my hands so to think about what I want to do with my life. I have been pretty against going back to school until recently I have had inspiration that I should. So now I am looking at grad schools and their programs. It's too bad CA is so broke because tuition went up so much, but the program I am looking at is from Boston University online. And the program of choice is...drum roll please...Masters of Social Work. I know there are a lot of cons (and pros) about this field, however, I feel it is a good fit for me and a job that I can do part-time as the kiddos are growing up (don't be expecting them any time soon). I can also do the program part-time which would stretch it to being 3 years instead of 2. Now I just need to figure out a few more things like if I should apply for the next semester (May) or wait a little bit and work for awhile. I'm sure everything will work out how it is supposed to.

Other news...I have started running. Even as a kid I hated to run and I still do. But my body is getting used to it now and it's not so bad anymore. I try to run 3 times a week. I can run up to 3 miles with a few walking breaks now and I can run 1.5 miles without stopping. I know this isn't that great, but it sure is a start. Now for some other things related...I want a dog. What more motivation do you need to go running if you have to exercise your dog daily? I really want a Weimaraner or a Vizsla, they are similar breeds.

However, I feel like we should wait until we have a place with a yard before we can have a dog especially a big dog. Speaking of dogs let's move on to one we are all familiar with: Goofy. No we actually haven't seen him yet, but I'm sure we will now that we have season passes to the Happiest Place on Earth. My friend Tia and I went a couple weeks ago because Todd(her husband a D2) and Tyler were both busy at school. We went on the carousal with a couple that were on their honeymoon from Mexico, they asked us if we were married to each other. It was a funny and almost awkward situation.
