We've had big changes here in the last month and another big change to come! Brad started his new job at Chiles High School, which we're SUPER excited about. It'll be much easier for Raelee and I to surprise him for lunch now that he'll be closer to home. Then for me, my big change is I've switched back to full-time hours(but not full-time status) because I will be starting my training in L&D at the end of the month. I am super excited and nervous. I love mother-baby nursing and have been wanting to increase my training for a few years now, and now I have to opportunity for that. It's a 12 week training and then I will continue to work full-time hours for at least another 6 months after that. I have already increased my shifts in the last month, so we've been having fun getting used to our new schedules. Let me tell you, we have been TIRED! Then to add to that, we've been battling with out hot water heater for the last week and a half. It's finally fixed today, I am so excited to take a hot shower again. One element went out, it's supposed to be super easy to replace, you just drain the heater. Well ours won't drain, the plumbers couldn't even get it to drain today when we finally called for assistance. So our plan B was to run it on one element, but it started leaking Tues night and was hitting the electrical wires, super scary! The plus side of having a handy husband is you save money fixing stuff. The downside is a week and a half of no hot water, before said husband finally admits defeat. I'm glad that the plumber had issues with it to, it made Brad feel better. And more good news, they were able to replace the element using some tool that kept the water from pouring out, so we saved a ton of money by not buying a new one. Yay! Now we just need to fix the car and get a new oven and we'll be golden :) I've felt so old school lately, not having an oven and having to heat water on the 2 stove burners that work to take baths. I'll be glad when all our appliances are up and running... at one time...ahhh that'll be the life!
