Signs of Spring!!

Okay, I know how lucky I am to be having a very, very easy winter this year- it's just that I think we deserve one after the last three we had, which were awful! So- it's been at least 40-degrees pretty much this whole winter, and we are seeing signs of it now! There are pretty little leaves and sprouts popping up all over the yard- it makes me so happy!

Well, I'm sure some of you know that we have been having some rough times. We are getting through it however, and things are starting to look up. Thanks to all my wonderful family (on both sides) for all the love and support. For updates, Chris' mom Jan is doing really well- she will probably come and stay with us for a few days to have a change of pace. She says hi to everyone and thanks all of them for the love and support also! For now, she is recovering and getting better every day, and it's soooo nice to see her laugh and joke again! Good thing we're all so silly, I think it keeps her spirits up a little more~ The girls are doing great as always... Calli is super excited for next month- she is doing an after-school cooking class on Mondays, and can't wait to start cooking here at home more often (I have a hard time letting her make a mess!) I told her she needs some practice, and that I will try harder to not care about messes :)

We are still on our health kick. I don't know that we've lost a ton of weight yet, but we are both definitely feeling the benefits. Chris is busy this weekend doing the home and garden show in Spokane- very long hours ALL weekend! But it's good for business, and he likes the leads! I am still working here and there and doing the best I can to find something permanent. I have decided however that I am going back to school very soon! I want to keep going in the medical field, so I think I will be starting with my medical assistant certification, and then probably move up from there. I can start working out of the house when Teags starts school this fall, so that will be good for me. Anyway- love you all so much!
