We Made It!

Well, we officially live in Lincoln, again! We are in the same apartment complex that we moved out of less than a year ago! Our apartment is identical to the one we were in before, just in a different building! When we moved from Topeka to here, this apartment seemed HUGE as it is a few hundred square feet larger than the house we owned there. But this time around, after living in my parents house, the apartment seems A LOT smaller! It really is a decent size for an apartment at about 1100 square feet! I am happy to have my own bathroom (the master bath) and the boys can have their own bathroom as well. I was in a little bit of a shock yesterday walking in, but I am so thankful that we are all back under one roof, OUR roof...even if we are just renting!! We plan to start looking for a house to buy a few months before our lease is up! I am very excited to be a homeowner again! It can't come soon enough!

Tyson will start back at 'school' on Monday the 15th. We are very excited for him to get back into a routine and make new friends! He is excited as well!

Derick will be heading back to work Monday. He will be on first shift for 2 weeks before shift bid goes into affect, then he will be on third shift with Thursday-Saturday off. We were hoping he'd be on days, but this will be better than second shift! His hours will be 9:30pm-7:30am. It will be nice to have him home for dinner and to help get Tyson to bed.

I spoke with my new boss today and even though I haven't taken my licensing test yet, he asked that I come in from 1-5 next week to start learning the ropes. He said he will be gone all week but April (the only other person in the office besides Chuck-my boss and me) will be there. He said he wanted me to learn the basics so "In the event something catastrophic happens with April" the office won't be left unattended! Um...I am praying nothing happens b/c it scares me to think I'll be left in this office alone not knowing what the heck I'm doing! There is a lot more than just answering the phone! And for those of you who don't know...I will not be doing the same thing as I did when I worked for State Farm before!! I am very excited to start work and be around adults all day!!

Well that's about all I have for now!!
