Good News

Well this week has been full of adjustments for me! I went back to work on Monday. It wasn't too bad, but with ending the six weeks after Christmas, I had so many failing students. I had to scramble to get them to come in and make up their work, redo quizzes and tests and basically pass! Some of course didn't take my generosity and they're still failing.

Well Murad got some excellent news. First, he is officially a Texan and he doesn't have to pay a ridiculous amount to go to school here. Yeah! Also, his professor called him a few days ago to tell him that she was going to nominate him for National Association of Social Work representative. If he wins, he'll represent his school in the NASW. He'll also get to go to Austin to attend legislature meetings. I'm not sure what else it entails, but it sounds like some cool stuff. I'm so proud of him. He's worked so hard this past semester and it all paid off. He got a 3.5 and made some great connections within his school.

We're still looking at houses. Murad got laid off back in October so we've just been living off of my income and his student loans. Once he finds a job though, I feel that we can seriously start looking at a house.

Let's see what else. We're going to look at our first choice for the ceremony/reception this weekend. It's in Uptown Dallas and it's called City Place. Last weekend I spent like two hours making a spreadsheet of all the wedding packages I received. Then, I compared costs between all of them. Some were outrageously expensive! Like $3000 just to rent the room and then you pay like $50 per person just for food. Too much! Oh well, you can check out City Place at http://www.chgcityplace.com/
