What's going on in my life right now

Let's see. Where do I begin? I start classes in 5 days. I was going to take 8 classes but my section for the class was canceled, bringing me down to 7. I have 14 credits, will be working part time, and will start doing my practicum in a couple of months. All in all, tons of changes.

Ryan and I are looking for a new to us (meaning used) car, most likely a BMW. It's been stressful but kind of fun at the same time. It's hard for me to get excited about features because I don't know what they mean and Ryan does. I'm trying though. Hopefully when we find the car of our dreams, we will be prepared financially and everything will fall into place. I know, probably just wishful thinking but I can dream, can't I?

I just got released from my calling in the Primary presidency on Sunday. They informed me about 15 minutes before church started because they were going to release all of us that day. I guess it was time for the Lord to change around leadership in Primary so I'm willing to let Him put me somewhere else to grow. The counselor that released me told me that I shouldn't get too comfortable; they would have another place for me soon. They weren't too sure where yet, but they have several openings. I'm sure I will benefit and gain more skills in any calling. I'm just crossing my fingers that I won't get called to be the Primary Music Conductor/Singing Leader. The current one will be moving and she's really great at her calling. We'll see...

Juneau has been really good lately. He's done shedding so he looks less mangy. He's also really lazy and spends most of his day sleeping. He's also pretty dumb because he managed to knock over both of his water dishes and wonders why he's so thirsty. Silly dog. I've been looking around for an adult female malamute to be his friend but we'll see. I think having a companion for him will curb his separation anxiety. Distraction is a great way to keep a dog's attention.

Ryan is looking all over for a different job. His current employers are moving to Thanksgiving Point without plans of providing gas vouchers, pay increases, etc. It really stinks for Ryan because he has set up a way for most of the employees to work from home. Which means he's the last person to get to do so. Rather unfortunate for him. So for that and many other reasons, Ryan has been seeking other employment opportunities. He has formed another company with a former and current employee that will help him reach his dream of working for himself. Hopefully things will be great and successful for the whole company. He has already had a few potential contracts.

Our current tenants are great. They are hardworking newlyweds that are not afraid to get their hands dirty to help out with improving the atmosphere in their apartment with renovations. They are really nice, pay on time, and are good people. Plus they're not really whiney about stuff. That's a plus for us :) I have told Ryan that next time we're looking for tenants, we just need to ask if they have guns, like to shoot, or carry a concealed weapon. So far, those tenants have been the best. So far, so good.

Ryan and I have been recovering from our recent bouts with our colds. I have mostly recovered (I think). My biggest grief from this illness has been the congestion. If I blow my nose, it's still sitting there. And I am not yet at the coughing stage. Fortunately, I have managed to prevent most other people from getting sick. Ryan on the other hand, has had two coworkers go home with bronchitis. He has been coughing quite a bit lately so I am praying he has not contracted that virus. Time will tell.

I think that's a pretty thorough update. We shall see how good I am at keeping this thing up.
