Update

It seems like I have not had room to breathe the last month. With my new position at work, they keep me hopping all the time! So where I used to have some time to write a little blog now and then at work, I don’t have 1 minute to eek out anymore, in fact I am putting in more hours just to get what I have to get done done, and I like to have a work/life balance! I like my job, but I don’t want to spend anymore time there than I have to.
I have some pics I need to get updated as well, but don’t have time for that, just for a quick note, but I will try to get them on here!

Ben and I have been volunteering at his church every Monday night for the past few weeks, and will continue this through the school year. We are "teaching" English as a Second language classes. It has actually been a really great time, but it goes until 8:30, so Mondays are out to get anything else done since we get there right after work.
It seems like the rest of the week is just as full. I remember the days when I would come home after work and wonder what was on TV to watch. Eat dinner, and then watch TV. I get to do that about 1 day a week now. So my DVR is packed full of TV shows that I used to watch. But I still like them, so I am going to catch-up eventually!
It has started to get cold here (cold for Dallas) and my place of employment does not have heat. They rely on the body heat of the 4000+ who work here, as well as the PC's and lights to heat the building, and the past few days it has been really cold...I come home and just want to jump into a warm bath, or bed.
Butch has been gone for the last few weeks with his papa, and it has been mighty quiet without him. I miss my little buddy. He should be up there with Landon for the next few weeks. We are trying to figure out a time that works best to switch, but it seems that there is so much going on, it is hard to come up with a time.

I had my mid year review at work, and it did not go so well, in fact it is one of the worst reviews I have ever had. So I am having to step it up a whole lot at work. But I am not concerned. I have a new position which I love, and a new boss who has been very supportive, and works me like a dog. I would rather be working like a dog than sitting in my cube looking for something to do, and wondering what I was not doing that I should be! So with all these changes, I have no worries that by the time the year is over, my next review will be sterling!

I feel so very blessed to have so many good things going for me right now. I have a lot going on, and stress has become part of my daily life it seems. I have to step back sometimes and look at all the things that I have which are good in my life. And I have so very much!
