So we are trying to sell our 2006 Toyota Corolla. Now that I have a job from home, we won't really need two cars and would like to save some money. So if you know of ANYONE who might be interested in it let us know!
Here are some details about it:
5 speed manual (fun to drive and easy to learn how to, if I can drive it, anyone can!), only 35K miles, new tires, mantinenced by Toyota every 5k, Silver with cloth interior, power windows and locks, CD player, gets awesome gas mileage and usually costs less than 20 dollars to fill up! Plus, not to mention it's a Toyota which means it lasts forever and keeps its value!
We are asking $11,000 for it, but may be able to come down on the price a little bit!
Please, please, please let us know if you know anyone that needs/wants a great little car. Thanks!

Starting new and letting go...
So I've been at the new job for the past two weeks and so far I LOVE IT. I think it is the perfect work environment for me. Lots of options, flexibility, and just the right amount of socialization so I don't go crazy. It'll be interesting to see how it really is when I move to home. But so far so good.
In other random news ....
I was contemplating my "infertility" issues the other day (since April will be our one year mark for trying) and I really feel like I have movedon from where I was a couple months ago. I really feel like I've put more trust and faith in the Lord lately and realize that he knows what is best for us and probably has great plans in store, well not probably, but does. So pretty much I am just a happy camper right now and hope that I continue to learn and grow from everything (Don't get me wrong, I'll still yearn, and hope, and vent), but I feel like I am really letting go and giving this to the Lord. Baby steps right?
Well hope all is well with ya'll. Have a great weekend.

I'm exhausted!
So my new job started this week and so far everything has gone well, but really all I've done is orientation so it's hard to really tell anything yet. Today, after getting up at 6, leaving for Irving at 7, having orientation from 8:30-4:30, driving in horrible traffic from 4:30-5:30, and then heading off to Presby-Denton to code from 5:30-7:30, I can honestly say I'm exhausted, VERY EXHAUSTED! So I guess this is how it's going to be for the next little while. Why, you ask, are you so crazy? Well, I kind of left Presby in a bad situation and so I said I would stay on PRN (as needed) to help out and most of all to make some extra money. It's a way better PT job than any Heath could get and this allows him to concentrate on his schooling and do well so he can get into Austin. So I am trying to get 20 hours a week at Presby while doing 40 for HCA, so it should get interesting. It'll be better when I start working from home and get an earlier start to the day. Wish me luck!

New Job!
So you are looking at the new Coder II for HCA. I got a call today extending an offer of employment and I accepted. The pay isn't a ton better, but it's better. The benefits of working from home will be great. To be honest, I am very nervous about this new job and change. I hate change. Despite all that, I am really excited to start and extra happy to be able to work from home. This will be such a blessing for us in the future and if Heath gets into UT-Austin I will still have this job. So my last day with Presby will be Friday March 13th and I'm actually kind of sad about it. I love the people at work, but this is just a better oppurtunity for us. I start orientation on Monday, March 16th. Things are going to happen fast. I'll keep you posted.

Updates! Colleges, Moving?, and Jobs Oh My!
Well Heath finally applied to UT and UNT last week. He received a letter this week from UT stating that all his classes would not transfer and that he was short of being considered a Transfer Student. That's the bad news. The good news is that they're allowing him to turn his transcript in after this semester to still be considered. This makes me think two things:
1. They are actually considering him because otherwise they probably would have just sent him a denial letter.
and,
2. I think they really are looking to see how he will do in his Physics and Calculus classes since they are two of the prereqs they look at (the other one is Chemistry which he did great in) . He is currently doing awesome in these two classes too! Yay Heath!
So we are going to have to wait until May/June to know if he gets into UT. This throws off most of our plans considering I was becoming quite comfortable with staying here, but I am always up to UT and Austin. I practicaly grew up there via Longhorn football and my brother lives there so it would be great. But again I would be okay with UNT considering my job is here, our friends and family (most of them :)) are here, and I know the area like the back of my hand. So we are just waiting to find out and the great thing is that we would like either option so it is a win-win situation.
As for other news, I was afraid to blog about this, in fear of jinxing it in some sort of superstitious way, but I am currently interviewing with HCA for a better job oppurtunity. I had the initial interview on Wednesday (which I thought went well), and tonight I have the coding test. It is for a Coder II position and I would get to work from home. Not only that but it offers better pay, better benefits, and just pretty much everything better. I am really hoping this works out because it would be perfect for us. If I got this job, even if we did move to Austin, I could still work for them since it is remote (from home). I love most everything about my current job but this one just offers a better situation for our future. I'll keep you posted on how everything goes. Wish me luck!

The Sickies
So Heath and I have finally overcome the Texas Epidemic. It first started with him getting sick and then a week later me and then a week after that our friend Kira. Sorry Kira! I got it worse than them all of course thanks to my pretty non existant immune system. I had a visit to the doctor that ended with a nice shot in the bum and some antibiotics (my absolute enemy in this world). So we are finally well and loving it.
This weekend we ventured out to a neighborhood we've been looking at and took a peek at their homes. It is called Sendera Ranch and is located in Haslet, not too far from where we live right now. We loved a couple of the houses and they are actually in our price range. We were pre-approved for a home, but aren't pursuing it due to the lack of funds we currently have. I don't make as much as I should because of high insurance, FSA account, 401K, and taxes being taken out. So actually I am looking for a raise or a new job so we can get into one in the near future. It was fun to go look and realize that our dream of owning a home isn't that far away. The great thing about this neighborhood (if we stay in this area, it's all dependent on where Heath goes to school) is that it is like a little community. It is a huge neighborhood with lots of parks, pools, schools, and even a market center. It would be a great starter home and a great place to raise a family.
So we are just concentrating on saving money and looking forward to all the great oppurtunities in the future. We would appreciate your prayers for us concerning Heath's school choices and getting into school and also new job oppurtunities that have come my way. Thanks for your love and support!
