Ady in the Spring


Basically we are very busy keeping up with Adyson. She is almost 1 year old-How time has flown by for us! I don't know what we would do without her now. She definitely keeps us up and going and is the entertainment part of our lives. She is waving bye-bye really good now. During one of Adams class Adyson goes to her friend So-eul's house. (Her dad was AP in my Mission) and she is always happy to play with her. She gets there and goes straight in and then waves bye-bye to her dad, her eyes saying "ok-you can leave now so I can play" Its very cute. She is definitely a Daddy's girl now since she spends so much time with him while I work. She is also getting brave and trying to walk but usually falls after 2-3 steps. She is also actually making noise when she claps now too.
Adam is just now starting his finals and getting all his semester projects and reports turned in. He is getting straight A's. I am not sure the exact reason, but here are my top 5 guesses
1. He has figured out how and that you have to jump thru the loops of school
2. He has brain washed his teachers into thinking he's a great student
3. He is doing his homework before the last minute before its due
4. He is finally taking education seriously now that he has a kid.
5. He is in remorse for not taking education more seriously when he just had a wife.
Actually I am very proud of him and glad that he is working hard and succeeding at school. It makes me happier when I am working to support us. I am enjoying my job. Sometimes I don't feel like I have enough to do, but I don't think that will be a problem for long. On top of my normal general ledger and reconciliation duties, they keep giving me more things to do. I just got assigned to be purchasing director in my office, and right now I am reading scholarship essays and I get to input on who gets what scholarships. It is taking a lot of reading about everyones sob-story and why they need the scholarship. Even though it gets redundant, it does make me grateful that I have not experienced what a lot of the foreign students here from 3rd world countries and such have had to go thru and the difficulties they still face.
On a good note though, my boss pulled me in the office a couple days ago and told me that there would soon be a staff position open and that I should apply for it. I guess that means she likes me. This is good because then I will not be a temporary employee anymore and I will get benefits!

so when you said you will be getting busier and also "hopefully" getting benefits, does that mean you guys are planning on expanding your little family to 4 people instead of 3? those type of comments always raises eyebrows!!!

Ady's so cute! I'm sad we're not around to babysit here anymore:( Even if we were only there for a week. I am applying to become permanent too then we can have benefits!!! But I don't know what Rachel is talking about that it raises questions about extending the family because it's not why I want benefits. I want to go to the dentist:)
