Just to let everyone know, I will probably be making my decision by/on Monday. It has been a very difficult decision and one that I am taking very seriously. I am praying that I make the best decision for my family.

Just to let everyone know JD received a formal offer from Design Workshop today. He will be contacting the other firm and hopefully will be able to make a decision by the end of the week. We will keep everyone posted.

We went to Sydney's parent teacher conference on Thusday. She is in a non tradition porogram all of the classes are a 1/2 split class so she has first and second grade in her class. They say it is a better way of learning and helps older kids become mentors and younger children be incouraged to learn by their peers. It is a different way of thinking and we are excited to see her progress. Her teacher is very nice and only had great things to say about Sydney and this program will work very well for her she said she wouldn't be surprised to see her doing 2nd grade work by January. She loves school and is doing amazingly well reading.

I went to my doctors appt. on Tuesday and all things are well. He measured me and I am measuring 29 cm at 24 weeks I knew I felt huge for a reason. I metioned it was a boy this time and he said it didn't make a difference. So we will see how things go over the next few weeks.

I recieved an e-mail today from Design Workshop and they have extended an offer to join their firm in Salt Lake City. I should be recieving the official offer either Friday or Monday, so I am really excited to have some end in sight. So now I will have to make some pretty tough decisions in about a week or two. On a lighter side of subjects, I have also decided that I would like to buy a Mac. With it's new capabilities of being able to run Window based products I can finally justify buying one since I have been wanting to purchase one for about five years now. But I will have to figure out how to pay for one now.

We spent the morning collecting non perishable items for a city wide inter faith food drive. It is the second year that they have done this and last year they collected $580,000.000 worth of food in one day. Hopefully they will be as successful this year. It was really good for the kids to help out and serve.

We have our first official snow of the season. There is enough snow to make a snow ball. Maybe I can kill the rabbits that our eating our plantings with one of them

I had my examinations for discovery today. It was not the most pleasant thing that I had done. Both lawyers were very polite and it was amazing watching them change from being personal and friendly before and after the examinations to being very professional and not emotional during the process. It got started late because they couldn't find a recorder, but after we got started it only took about an hour. Hopefull everyone will be able to settle and things will be able to move on without me having to pay anything out of pocket.

This is Sydney's first day of school. It has been a big change for her since she has to catch the bus at 7:30 in the morning. She loves school though and is anxious to get back to reading and the whole academia routine. She definately didn't get that from me.

Did I do this right?

I am now officially part of the blogging environment. I hope I did this correctly.
