January 2009 update

I just realized that I haven't made a post in several weeks - there really hasn't been anything exciting or out of the ordinary to report. It is really cold here, and it snows practically everyday. We are becoming somewhat immune to the cold weather and really don't think it's freezing unless the temps are in the single digits! Even though we are used to the weather, we are still anxiously looking forward to warmer weather. As the saying goes, you can take us out of the south, but.... :-)

Jason is still working all of the time - it still amazes me at the amount of hours he is required to work each week! He is now in a new office in Richmond, MI, which is about 25 minutes south of where we live in Marysville. He is loving the new office and finally has his own desk and workspace (it's about time since we have already been here for a year and half!). Jason has been very successful at recruiting duty so far; I am very proud of how hard he works.

I am staying super busy as well - I'm still working full time at the community college and teaching math part time on Saturday mornings at Baker College. This quarter I am teaching Pre-Algebra. I'm also finishing up my MBA classes - my current class is "Human Behavior Management of Organizations" - whew, what a long name! After this class I only have two more classes to complete (Economics and Global Environment Strategies). My graduation is scheduled for June 5th - I can't wait!!!

One more interesting (at least to us) tidbit - we got a Wii! You would think there are teenagers living in our house considering we have a PS3 and a Wii now, guess we'll never grow up! We are enjoying some Wii bowling and we also got the Wii Fit. I really like the Yoga and the hula-hooping game. I also got "Dance Dance Revolution"... that game is WAY harder than I anticipated, so I need to practice A LOT! It's been nice to have something new to do, especially since it's so cold and yucky outside. It also forces us to get up off of the couch, so who knows, maybe we will drop some LBS? :-)

That's about all that's happening in MI - hope everyone is having a great 2009 so far, we miss you!
