Catching Up

Well I have been very remiss in keeping up with my blog. Sorry for all you followers out there. There really has not been any ground breaking news as of late though, so this post will be kind of dry. I started a job about two months ago and am enjoying it very much. I work for the payment department of Progressive Financial a collections agency that handles account for the US Dept of Education, the IRS and so many more government agencies. So far I like it a lot, sometimes it can feel like highschool though, some of my fellow coworkers don't have a lot of work experience under their belt so they feel that the world owes them a favor by doing what they do....they just haven't come to the realization that the world just doesn't owe them anything. The job always keeps me on my toes, I'm finding that I'm missing the super fast pace and stress of my last job working in an accounting department as the accounts receivable for a corporate location. I never thought that I would feel that way but I do....kinda sad, most people are hoping to find that job they can complete with their eyes closed. I'm hoping to start school again in the winter quarter, just waiting for my residency to come in, plus I have to find out which of my credits are going to transfer and which classes I'm going to have to take again to complete my degree, I'm looking forward to it though.

Kade is doing very well. He is so freaking computer smart right now. He can turn on and load the computer, he can navigate the programs and get to the game he wants to go, and he can even type in the URL address for pbskids to play the games there. He keeps battling us with the potty training but mainly its because he just doesn't want to quit playing his ever exciting games, although since the trick is that he can't play if he's wet his pants he's getting a lot better about running to the bathroom when the urge arrives. Hopefully that will continue. He is getting so big it amazes me all the time, I keep having to go clothes shopping he is growing so fast! He has gone up four shoe sizes since the beginning of summer, thank goodness this isn't Washington and he can wear flip flops all the time!

Tut the dog is growing too. Kade is madly in love with him and cuddles him all the time. He such a little clown! Running after things and sliding into the wall absolutely everytime! Our house is slowly becoming a home. There are so many updates we want to do, like putting in wood flooring throughout the house and crown molding, but sadly money just doesn't grow on citrus trees like it used too. We have got some things worked on, we put a new light fixture in the kitchen, and have bought one for the dining room, we've just not had a chance to put it up, although it is a must for this weekend! Kade's room is completely decorated, I am repainting his dresser right now, the original color turned out to be a salmon orange which does not go with the bold blue color of the walls, so I went to the store and picked out a really orange orange so we don't have that problem again! I have a couple chairs that I am recovering and then they will go great in our completely empty front room....it looks like we just moved in if you walk through the front door, not that we did about five months ago. I'm working on that though! We have revived the front and back yards and if I say so myself they look good, they will look even better once its not 110+ degrees out daily and we can really work on it.

Greg is doing great too. He completed his bachelors a couple months ago and will be starting again in January to complete his masters. He is still at Boeing and although the people there are frustrating he does enjoy his job no matter what he tells people. We are both on the same schedule right now so that is fun, we leave at the same time and even though I get home a little bit later than he we still get to spend our evenings as a family.

Hope everything is well with everyone and miss you all!!!!!!
