A Tale of Two Cities..

Wow, life is just blowing by. The semester is over and I spent it traveling back and forth from Pflugerville to DFW. My classes were online but I had to go on campus to take the exams. So three times this semester I packed up my stuff (including my work computer) and stayed with my parents in Keller. I can safely say that I don't think I'll ever be a traveling coder. It is exhausting going back and forth. So I would get there the weekend before, study, take my tests that Mon/Tues, work the rest of my week at my parent's, and then go home the next weekend. But it is all over now and I got an A and a B so all is well.

Another major change these past few months was with my career. I applied and got offered two new jobs. I accepted the second offer and now work for the 2nd biggest healthcare company in Central Texas. My previous employer was the biggest. I started my new job in the middle of April and things have been going great so far. I still have the option to work from home but have deferred that for now so I can enjoy the company of my new co-workers. It's so nice to be around human beings again! I love my dogs, but they aren't good conversationists. I also am working PRN (as needed) for my old boss. My days consists of coding, coding, and then more coding. But in a time where many are losing jobs or having a hard time finding one, we feel extremely blessed and lucky to have two.

I also got into the Health Information Management program at Texas State University. I start next Fall. Heath is nearing his last year at UT for his undergraduate degree. No one is more giddy with excitement about that great news than me! I am proud of him and the work he has done these past 2 years. UT is a very hard school and he has done wonderfully.

Life is moving on. It seems like yesterday that Heath and I had gotten married and started down our own road with our life's dreams. Things have changed a lot, but not our love for one another. I am so glad to have him to share in life's ups and downs. I couldn't do it without him!
