A New Year

Back to work it is…after more than a week off, Mark and I are back to work.  I have to say the return wasn’t as bad as I had thought actually Mark and I had pretty eventful days yesturday when it came to work. 

I took the darring step out to talk to my boss about where my job was going and if there was a possibility of a pay increase.  A friend of mine and me have talked about why college does not prepare you for tough conversations about things like this.  But all went well and they seem please with how things are working out.  So it felt good to step up and fight for myself.

Mark had an exciting day as well.  There has been some drama going on in his office and we’ve been praying for the situation to turn out in Marks favor and after yesturday it is looking like Mark’s clientel will increase, which is a very good thing.  Mark started on his own officially as of yesturday, scary thing, but I think he’s really excited about stepping out and being able to visit is own clients. 

We had a good time New Years Eve.  A friend of mine from college, Nicole and her husband, came down for the weekend.  After they graduated they moved back to Iowa where they are originally from.  It was really good to see her and hang out.  We went out to eat and then went down town.  I couldn’t figure out why of all nights that we were walking around it had to be the coldest.  All last week the weather was really nice and the one night every one goes out it turns fridged.  We ended up at the Piano Bar to ring in the new year.  Both of us got to celebrate our first New Year with a husband.  We had a good time and I’m really glad they got to come down.

So a friend of mine is writing a book…I won’t say who incase this person doesn’t want it out yet…but I’m super excited for them.  I’ve always thought that they should write in some form or fashion b/c I ALWAYS love to hear what they have to say.   They let me read the first chapter of the book and I would definalty buy it!  Anyways,  I really hope that things work out for them b/c they TOTALLY deserve it!

That’s about all I have for now.  Hope everyone’s holiday’s were great!
