Whoops

Long time no blog from the world of the Hathcock's.

Things are starting to slow down for us. The holidays are usually busy for us, I work a second job and this year the hubs started a new job!! After 3 years at his previously employer he had maxed out on what he could learn with the little leadership he had and this new position offers a lot of opportunity for him to not only learn but also grow within the company. We are very excited and happy, although the commute is another story.

Our first holiday as a married couple was fantastic. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to decorate the house. I usually put the tree in front of our bay window, but we have a chest in front of the window that needs to be moved, however it is currently a printer and monitor stand until we can get hubs a desk for his home office. In terms of gifts, we were blessed by many wonderful things from family. He wanted an espresso machine and shortly after Thanksgiving I found the exact model his BFF has and bought it for him along with a bunch of stuff to go with it. He was very pleased, usually he out does me at Christmas, however this year we both admit that I outdid him. I got some awesome Bath and Body works stuff, figurines, and a new ornament for Christmas. Oh and some nice comfy pajamas, someone is tired of me always stealing his. Whoops.

Like I said, things are starting to slow down, I am working on finding a second job that I can actually tolerate and that is closer to home. I spend roughly 1/3 of my total monthly income from my second job in gas. What I would really love to do is write part time, so I've started posting more to my personal blog, primarily our struggles with IF and then lately I've been doing some food blogging to help keep myself accountable for what I am eating. Soon I hope to have my skills back to the caliber they were when I was in college. I know my vocabulary has diminished and although grammar is very important, it is suffering in some areas.

We are super excited for what 2012 is going to bring us. The year is off to a great start and it's only going to get better. I am sure of it.
