Okay, so I know that I am a total slacker. It's part of me, so most of you are used to it! Anyway, we are here, and things are going just fine with us. Nothing super exciting to update you on, just letting everyone know we are still kicking. Kaya is super excited for kindergarden in the fall. We are also excited, but nervous and in denial as well. Her school is a charter and has full day kindergarden. It also has combined grades, so K and 1st are in the same classroom, 2nd and 3rd, and then 4th and 5th. Therefore she will be there for hot lunch, etc, etc, etc... all the things I can not imagine my baby being old enough to do! It freaks me right out. She will be at before and after school care right at her school, so we are hoping that is going to be a perfect fit for our family. Changes coming our way very quickly in that department. Yikes!
Otherwise, my job is going well. I got a new position in February, and am finally getting settled into it. I enjoy it a lot. My whole caseload is now made up of only people who are casemanaged by a local mental health agency. All of my new applications are coming straight from inpatient mental health stays. It is definately interesting at times, but it is very gratifying advocating for and providing services and resources to these people who need my assistance. This population of clients is completely different than my previous caseload and I am enjoying the change a lot.
Jer is still working here and there, and making ends meet. He works quite regularly for a Custom Woodworking shop, but they have not officially hired him in yet. They are not quite steady enough to call him an official employee I guess. They are giving him quite a bit of work though which is nice. He also still has the job fixing fitness equipment and game tables. That is oncall status only though, but pays off at times. We frequently have a mower, motorcycle, jet ski, or some other random item in our garage being fixed too. Thank goodness we have friends who need his skills! :)
I guess that is us in a nutshell. I am going to Jimmy Buffet in 2 weeks, and Blissfest is in 4 weeks, so summer plans are coming up! yeah! Also, I bought myself a new camera! I love it, but have no idea still how to use it very well. I am learning, but wish I knew someone who was willing to work with me for not much money and teach me some things. I am looking into online classes, but unless we win the lottery there is no college in my future. So... If you win the lottery, keep me in mind! :) If you are reading this I love you to pieces and hope life is going great! I am going to try to do better at updating!
