happy february!

well, life has been exciting to say the least. we've had our fair share of snow/ice days. in the past two weeks, drew and i have been home with lana 5 of the work days. pretty nice little break! although we had cabin fever pretty bad. we're happy to have our sun back and the highs back into the 60s/70s for the next 10 day forecast. much better.

last night drew's sister, kim, came into town for the weekend. they're heading to the advocare conference for the weekend in fort worth. as much as i'd like to be joining them for information purposes, i really am looking forward to my time with lana! we're going to have a ball in the sunny nice weather! making lunch plans right now, actually :)

last night we went to the marcus high school basketball. they were playing plano east...well, i say "playing" lightly...it wasn't much of a game. we're VERY excited that marcus has already clinched district and has a GREAT chance of winning state this year. we've got our hotel room booked for the 2nd weekend in march to go to austin to watch the tournament. should be fun! hopefully we'll sneak down to san antonio to eat some yummy mexican food on the riverwalk...my favorite town in the good ol' state of texas. SA!

work is going decent. i think i'm over my job. i really like the planning part of it, but the analysis part of it is overshadowing any of the good in it. so i'm trying to decide what i want to do next...a different position at jcp, or teaching? i do have my certification, but with billions of dollars being cut from texas's education fund, i'm not sure now is the time for an alternative cert to be pursuing a career change...we'll see where God leads me.

lana is growing and changing like crazy. she turns 2 in just 17 days...not that i'm counting down or anything :) i LOVE birthdays! and 4 days before her birthday is my big 3-0! it should be an eventful next couple of months, for sure. but lana is keeping us on our toes and we're having so much fun watching her learning and hearing her new phrases....she loves to dance, always wants me to snuggle with her before she goes to sleep at night, loves to SING! her favorite song is "i've got the joy joy joy joy down in my heart".....so sweet to hear her sing. drew has all the singing videos on his phone, so hopefully i can borrow them at some point to post. you can't help but smile watching :)

anyway, we're off to start our weekend adventure. just wanted to give you a little update on life! spring is coming! get excited for warm weather!!! we are!
