Bulleted update

I have a load of studying to do, so, naturally, I am taking this time to update the blog.

• Amazingly enough, we will live here beyond a year. Stephen accepted a position as a float manager, acting as a district-manager-in-training. It's a step in the right direction, and I am beaming with pride for all he has accomplished thus far in his career. He will help out in a circuit of stores. It involves lots of driving, and because of that we...
• ... retired our newlywed '04 Ford Focus, which was pretty far gone for its age, unfortunately. We will always remember rotten potatoes, the way trash seemed to grow out of the floorboards, toating my young boys, and our many, many a road trips. Its replacement is an '07 Honda Accord. This newer car is dynomite, and perfect for Mr. Stephen's transportation needs.

BTW, what color is this car?

• We have a consultation with a Reproductive Endocrinologist Nov. 3. Depending on the state of my ovaries, we might be doing a round of Clomid this month with my OBGYN as we wait. We didn't expect to be at this point until sometime after 2010, but an interesting series of events occurred that led us to start now. We are hopeful and excited, but our fervor is tempered with years of no success. That's a good thing, I think. We are certainly not assuming anything. All we can do is wait and see what the future holds, and try to take good care of ourselves in the meantime.
• School is good- not much to report. I am definitely more involved in my Med. Terminology course than the other two. Classtime is well-structured, and the homework we receive are excellent learning tools. I can't say the same for the other two classes.
• The kitties are good. Howie is still fat and Zoe is still a tweet-tart.

HMMM, that's about it! Onto homework. Which means, a bathroom break, grabbing a snack, stepping outside to take a few more pictures of our wintry weather, maybe putting in a movie, and THEN considering cracking open my books. By then, I'll be really tired though...
