So much going on...

It has been quite some time since my last entry! Where to begin?

Let's start with Christmas. As I mentioned in my last post, I was making Christmas presents for my neices, nephews and a few of my cousins' children. I made scarves and hats, with what time I had between two jobs and trying to keep my house somewhat clean.

Christmas a lot of fun this year because Brant and I got to spend it with both of our families. Christmas Eve and Morning were with Brants' family at his sisters' house. We opened up presents, enjoyed a great dinner and awesome breakfast, played with the kids, and enjoyed being able to relax from work. Later, Christmas Day, we drove to my parents' house where we had another nice dinner and relaxed watching tv, my mom and I crocheting, and enjoying each others' company. I love going to my parents house because it means I can totally relax and not have to worry about anything.

Right after Christmas, we bought Brant a laptop so he can start school this summer. We missed enrollment for the police academy, but we both want him to start some general classes to get him used to it again. I took a semester off after I finished my Associate degree fron CEU and it just about killed me. We're hoping he can get right in next January so he can be finished the following year.

Last week, at my new job (eFurnitureShowroom) I was approached by my boss and asked how I felt about taking a few days off. I didn't like it, but said "okay, I guess...." in a very unhappy tone. Of course, who am I to argue with my bosses' will? So I did and immediately started looking for other jobs. Come this past monday, he still couldn't afford to have me come in and type all day, so I quit. My boss at Staples took me back for full-time hours, working a mid-shift Monday - Friday. I'm much happier there because it's a more comfortable atmosphere and he's the best manager I have ever had. Brant has noticed that after 3 days, I'm much happier and it's easier for me to sleep. I get paid less, but sometimes your sanity and happiness is not worth it. We both felt that if my boss at the other job would send me home once, it was likely to happen again. I figure then next time that happens, he'll be going out of business.

I wish I had pictures of Christmas, but I can't find my camera anywhere. I'm wondering if I left it at my parents' house or my sister-in-laws' house. I'll post them as soon as I find it. I had to post an update though, I didn't want it to seem like we had disappeared!
