Hi All,


Happy belated New Year!


Just want to pop in and give some updates. I'm going to try to check in once per week now. I have a lot going on right now!


DH and I went to Houston in December and almost bought a house! We decided not to go ahead right before Christmas. We had a good relaxing Christmas. I made a huge traditional Thanksgiving meal with turkey and all the trimmings. Our $260 Christmas tree died by Christmas day! I have nothing else to say about the stupid tree experience.


My Grandmother died at the end of January so we were in Chicago for 8 days at the beginning of Feb.


I'm not doing so well in Spanish. I had to miss some classes due to going on and I've been pretty busy. I'm going to try to private lessons this summer.


My coughing has gotten better, but I have atopic asthma. It worsens when I take the tube!


We still have a 99.9% chance of moving back to Houston this summer or early fall. I still don't have any further information. However, I said that when we were in Singapore and we ended up here in London.


I'm giving notice for my job on Friday, Feb. 29! I have to give 13 weeks so if we do go back, I will have the summer off. If not, I will look for something close to home. I am really sick of commuting.


I'm seeing a career counselor and she is fantastic! She is helping me get my resume together. I don't know what I would do without her. She has given me a lot of work so I spend at least 1 hour per night on it.


I feel like 2008 has started off terribly. I really hope it gets better from now on. Our eating hasn't been too good, but we haven't gained much more than a pound or two. DH is sick of his job as well. His two years are up so he is really anxious to move on to something a bit different.


I am looking forward to doing a bit of traveling this year. We are going to Cairo on Saturday. I really want to see the pyramids before we leave the region.


I'm trying to catch up on all of the action on the board. I feel like I'm missing out on everything!


XOXO,


Sheneq

SOO glad to see you back! We were asking about you last week!


I'm sorry to hear about your grandma. It is always hard to lose someone we love. Having lost my mom at the end of December, I can definately sympathize.


Glad to hear your breathing is a little better, but that stinks about the asthma! Hopefully it's something that you can get under control and not have to worry about too much. Maybe moving back to the states will help? Wouldn't that be great to have the whole summer off?! How cool!


Hope you have a great trip this weekend!

Sheneq, we have really missed you around here!!! So glad you came back to let us know how you are doing. So sorry to hear about your Grandmother. I know she had been sick for sometime now.

Sounds like you do have an awful lot going on right now!!! Good luck with your job situation and decision on moving back home.

Dana,


I am really sorry about your mom. How are you doing?


We are now down to a 50/50 chance of staying or going back to Houston. Some days I'm indifferent about it. DH definitely doesn't want to stay here! He is much worse than me.


They haven't let me quit yet. They want to discuss the possibility of me doing something else. We'll see how it goes. I feel much better now though. I could stay or go and I'm not worried about it any longer.
