Well I certainly get the award for the worst blogger in February. I can't believe I went nearly the entire month without blogging. Two. Two blogs. That. Is. Horrible. If you are still reading my blog, then please forgive me. Although, I am probably beginning to sound like a broken record.
What's been going on with our lives? Well, we are staying pretty busy between the two of us. Drew is still working for Amazon, and spending the other half of his week handling real estate and Army duties. Speaking of real estate, Drew's sister Gayle has been dabbling in the photography business (Life Through the Lens) for the last three or four years and just recently found a studio. It's in a great location and it seems to be the perfect size. I had the opportunity to check it out this weekend. In addition, Gayle seems to really like the building's owner. He was planning to do some remodeling and is letting her pick out new carpet, paint colors, and flooring. I'll keep you posted on how things advance. She has started to move some of her props over into storage space, but it will be a bit more time before she totally gets situated.
I am starting to hit my groove. My teaching schedule seems to be set. I'm on the early "shift". All of the classes I teach are in the morning. My latest class is 12:30 on Thursday and Tuesdays and Fridays I don't teach at all, but I am able to sub when needed. One thing that is really nice is I can usually take a class right after mine or within an hour and be on my way. Babysitting has slowed down for the time being due to changes in the parent's work schedules. I am staying busy at home managing the studio's Facebook page and press work. The studio has teamed up with four other locally owned businesses to create a type of loyalty/rewards program. It kicks off this Friday. I have been in charge of all of the documents: press release, pamphlet, brochure, etc. The studio is also switching the company it uses for its newsletters so I am responsible for "attending" the training for it. I've only done one training so far and it was quite interesting. It was a webinar type-training program. Each studio's representative called in to a number via google and while we couldn't talk, we could hear the trainer and then send an instant message that he would read and answer in real-time.
Outside of work related items, I/we are working on getting the house in order. Drew's aunt, uncle, and cousins are coming to visit next month for the annual bake-off and this year they will be staying with us. We've got lots of work to do before then! I would love to have one of the bedrooms repainted, but I realize the room(s) need to be cleaned out first. Not to mention, I have stuff I still need to get from my parents house. Mom, if you are reading this I am planning to come by tomorrow :)
Lexi is doing well. She's not a big fan of the cold though so she spends a lot of time inside. Like most dogs, she doesn't like rain, but she will go out and play in the snow. I think all of the lounging around is starting to effect her weight ;) Drew took her to the dog store the other day and said she is 120lbs. She was hovering around 112 for the longest time!
Well, I think that's a good summary of our lives. I will try to be more mindful this month. Hopefully post three or more times a week with specific details of our lives/days. Don't give up on me! I'm trying!
