JOB!!!
K, so it's not our end-pont, but our starting point. Mitch accepted a job as an overnight stocker working for the brand new walmart in Frisco. For those of you unfamiliar with Texas, Frisco is near us. Hehe. His employers are SUPER impressed with him and anticipate him moving through the ranks fairly quickly. He starts mid-April and the store opens in May. All I care about is that he starts getting paid in April. WOOT! This means my days will now be spent caring for Derek, keeping the house clean and looking for apartments - in that order. I feel pretty jittery but I'm so thankful that we have a job now. It pays just enough for us to scrape by if we're thrifty. Score! For those of you to whom this is a shock - join the club. :)

Deep Thinking
Julene, if you're reading this, thanks for posting this on your blog!
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us. - Joseph Campbell
Story of my life right now. I've been so caught up in what we've lost, (and still losing, more on that later) that I haven't been able to enjoy hardly anything about where we are in life right now. Except Mom Heath's delicious meals. Oh. My. Gosh! All of us are trying to lose weight, but I think I'm eating better than I ever have in my life (no offense to my Mom or Dad).
I've been worrying and stressing about so many things I went and made myself sick. Great. Let's just add to this pile. At least I've lost 5 lbs in 24 hours and, judging by the way the fever is making me sweat, I might lose another 5 before the weekend is out. WOOT!
One of the biggest stressors has been Lacey. What happened to my perfect pet?! She had less exercise when we were in Del Rio (Kal was mostly inside and she was mostly outside) and she only dug one hole there. Here, she gets walked at least every 2 or 3 days in addition to playing with Kal in the side yard all day every day and she's dug at least 5 mini craters. Needless to say, Dad Heath is not pleased but he's been so patient with us... well, with me I suppose. Mitch seems all too happy to be rehoming her and is now absolutely firm on never having another dog in the house. Kal is all weather, so he will be staying outside or in the garage during cold nights or super hot days. I think we'll have to shave him for summer. :S Man, he's going to look pitiful. lol Anyway, Mitch and I have come to the conclusion to put Lacey up for adoption. It's been absolutely horrible for me to even think about losing them, especially Lacey. She was such a doll, so good with Derek, ridiculously softer than any other dog I've ever met, and so loving. No other dog will sleep for 8 hours in a car in the backseat with a baby! No other dog has been such a good sport about doing dog training with me. Kal is a booger sometimes. He's just starting to heel consistently but if he sees another dog, even in the distance, he freaks out. Too bad it seems like everyone in Stonebridge has a dog.
**UPDATE** Lacey is so close to being in the best home ever! Just a few more days and we'll find out if she gets to stay with the neighbors across the street. How cool is that?!
