School Shmool

Ok, so it's official. Danny and I survived our first week of school (woo hoo for me! It's been a while since I was a student!) Our lives are going to be crazy for a while, there's no doubt about that, but we're looking forward to it.

I'm taking 12 hours at the community college in Carterville with the hopes of completing my Associates in Accounting by next May and working 28 hours a week to try to keep food on the table. When I'm not doing work and school, my time is consumed by maintaining our home, our dog, cooking, and various Young Women's activities.

Then there's Danny....He's nuts. He's taking 18 credit hours, working roughly 29 + hours at the school newspaper AND just accepted a calling as the 1st Counselor in the Young Men's presidency! Can you say yikes?!?! Psssst! Ward Gossip: The YW 1st Counselor is hooking up with the YM 1st Counselor, don't tell anyone! :-)

Anyway, that's all for now, just wanted to send the update that we are alive and we love and miss you all. Good luck at your various schools and occupations as well!

next time i won't read your blog as I am trying to put Gibson down to sleep. I absolutely scared him as I erupted into laughter as I read this post. That elephant cake is hilarious and your own personal feelings on it, even funnier. Miss you guys.
p.s. I have never heard anyone refer to the sugar glider as the sugar rat. did my husband say that?

hey this is Jami Pitts...I haven't checked your blog for a long time...I was so excited to see posts. I want a sugar glider. How did you get one? I am sorry for you lose, but that was one really cute animal. Maybe my little girl would LOVE one.
