Very...very...random.
This Panhandle wind is insane!! For the past 2 days, I've feared my 2nd story was going to end up in Oz. When things crackle, creak, moan, groan, and sway, that's never a good thing. I am loving the Spring weather, though. There's something awesome and amazing about thunderstorms, and I'm sure we'll see our fair share of them in the next few weeks/months. I noticed I have flowers coming up in my beds out front. Super!
My job is going great! I am enjoying meeting new people, handling things in an office-like environment again (similar to what I did at the dental office when I lived in Ft. Worth), and earning a few extra bucks for when John and I feel like splurging. Not having worked in over 6 years, I have been fairly exhausted when I get home in the evenings. One night a week I actually close the facility by myself--that's been interesting to say the least. I am fortunate enough to get to start my personal training career at Carter Fitness Center beginning in late May. I will be building my client base and trying new things, so we'll see how that goes.
John is in Phase O (zero) of OCS (Officer Candidate School) for the National Guard. He will be traveling to Austin one weekend a month until June, and then he'll spend 2 weeks in Salina, Kansas where he will actually begin OCS. At that point, it's considered Phase 1. He will continue the one weekend a month drill for about a year and a half. Then, it's on to where the good Lord takes us. He's looking at being a PA and going to school for that (on the National Guard's dime, of course) in the DFW area. Hmmmm....
John and I are in the planning stages for something exciting! Can't really reveal the details now, but I just had to share that tidbit. The anticipation of fulfilling a dream of ours is killing me! :)
Caitlin has the pleasure (and I say that with as much sarcasm as possible) of taking the TAKS test next week. That poor girl--they have drilled her to pieces. I'm certain she will do well. It's just super frustrating to us parents when our babies are stressed out to the max over a stupid test. Bleh. She is growing up so quickly. Nothing like having a full-blown preteen in the house!
See what I mean? Getting too big:
Christian LOVES school. He's been doing so well! He's probably the most anal child I've ever met, so the school environment is right up his alley. He's such a little man--much more easygoing than his two dramatic sisters! Here is a pic of a cute cowboy he made for us:
Now on to Caroline....my precious and ornery 3 year old. She is such a spit-fire! John and I find ourselves busting up on a regular basis at the things that come out of her mouth. Half of it probably wouldn't be as funny to everyone else around us, but believe me we are totally entertained! She is still in MDO and loving every minute of it. She is all things girly and frilly, which is totally good with me. A funny thing she did today---she apparently got a hold of markers and decided to draw some "tattoos" on her arm. I had to laugh. After all, she CALLED them her tattoos and didn't want me to remove them. John's response was, "Great. She's already wanting a full sleeve at the age of 3." Haha!! Yes! See for yourself:
And that's all I have for now. More randomness later. Peace out.~Mel
