Life as of now

Fake smile

Today ended my seasonal employment at H&R Block. I can not believe those last couple months went by so fast. I look at everything I did and wonder how I could have even done all those things at once. I do have to say that I am grateful for the wonderful people there and for helping us get a leg up on our finances. However, as much as they want me back next year I have to say no to the most unfulfilling job I have ever had. The uncomfortable picture above is just a glimpse into being the lowest man on the totem pole. It was also like 32 degrees outside that day and I forgot my coat. Woof!

Now that that is over we can move on to our next saga, JUSTIN AND LAUREN BECOME HRA'S IN MAIN HALL! This is bound to produce countless tales of laughter and tears in the next year but all I have to worry about doing now is packing and finding someone to take over our apartment lease.

Justin is about to give this semester a nice roundhouse kick to the face. I never thought I would meet someone who hates school as much as I do. I met and married him. Now we do weekly battle with quizzes, papers, assorted homework. This often leads to using some professors names as replacement curse words. So far we have come off conquerer but now Justin has finals. I just need to arm myself with lots of food and candy and we can make it though.

Speaking of candy, we got the most magical easter package today from Justin's Mom. We opened it up and just basked in its candy glory. I LOVE MY IN-LAWS! I hope they realize very cool I think they are. The packaged looked a lot more awesome before Justin and I ate half of it.

Easter is the bomb diggity.

I am going to use those super bouncy balls in a science experiment I'm sure. I love love love teaching the kids I tutor in science. Talk about a job that is rewarding. I have to get up earlier than I normally do but I don't even care. For those of you who know how much this kid likes to sleep understand the gravity of that statement. They are great and I just love having a conversation with someone who is as excited about a subject as I am. I could never be a teacher in a class room. I don't enjoy that setting and I do not believe we learn as well. Learning is life, it is part of what we do each day. We don't need to create a specific environment and designate time for the learning process. Cool stuff happens all around us and we should want to know why. I love these kids and their ability to see questions that I never could have thought to ask. They inspire me. Well, I have to gather my supplies for tomorrow because when science calls we answer!
