Real life update...

I very seldom discuss our "real life" issues on here, so I thought I would take a moment and discuss where we are at right now.

Chris is 1/2 way through law school! Hallelujah! Rejoice! Amen! If this next year and a half go by as quickly as the first we are definitely on the downhill slope. He now gets to pick his courses and really enjoys all of his business courses, especially bankruptcy. He was also given the opportunity to participate in the SMU Tax Clinic. This is a group of about 10 students who do pro-bono tax law for locals. It's pretty neat because he is getting to practice law & he doesn't technically have his JD (He had to apply for a temporary bar license)

In addition to school Chris is still working part time at HKB here in Dallas. He absolutely loves his coworkers and is so blessed to have such a positive work environment. If you had told me 2 years ago that working for the Strong Arm would be such a blessing in our life I would have cringed. After the first 2 semesters and a let down from Underwood we both realized that sometimes life doesn't always turn out how you want or even how you like, but it will be ok. When God closes a door he opens a window. Cliche, I know, but for us it is so true. I sometimes wonder if I would take our good fortune for granted had Chris dominated his first 2 semesters, gotten an internship at a big law firm, and stepped into a $200,000 a year job right out of law school? Or would I have the mindset that I deserved it?

As for me.... my company merged. Butler Animal Health Supply & Henry Schien merged to form Butler Schein. Yes, I work for But Schein. Work for me is the same ole same ole. Just trying to survive this merger.

&&& I love my husband because.... he mad a 3.5 this semester.
Hello Dean's list!
