It was pointed out to me today that I have yet to post that we made it safely to Texas so here is that post. Shannon and I pulled into my parents' driveway around 5am on February 4th. It is a long, long drive from Tuscon to Marble Falls! A long way with not much to look at. But we finally made it, yay!

I started work at the store on Friday the 6th. I really like my store. My co-workers are wonderful and friendly. The customers are great. The only thing that really sucks is the pay. Oh and the hours. I found out that I took a $5/hr pay cut and I'm only getting about 20 hours a week. With Shannon not yet able to get a job, that hurts quite a bit. But it'll all work out. Shannon has been putting in job applications everywhere and I know someone will call soon. We're gonna be just fine.

Also on the home front, I have a new baby niece! She is just the sweetest thing I've ever seen. She's nine days old. My brother is so cute with her. Kind of hard to believe that he's a daddy now but he's really stepped up to the plate.

Speaking of cute, my parents have a calf who's momma died so we've been bottle feeding it. Shannon has taken him on as her pet project. It's so much fun watching her feed the little fella.
