New Year's Resolutions

We didn't really sit down this year and talk about what our "resolutions" for the new year would be, but we're continuing to follow the plans we sort of had in place already. Sorry I'm not that great at updating our blog here, but we are SO busy right now!

Tom is working 65 hours a week right now. One of his jobs (40 hours) is working in a warehouse doing light manual labor, and the other job (25 hours) is answering customer service emails for an up and coming company that makes covers and protectors for ipods, laptops and cell phones. He's enjoying both positions, and he gets to listen to his MP3 player at either place. (Sidenote: What a great purchase that was last year! We only got little cheap players, but they use SD cards for memory, so you can just load up a card, and pop it in the player. Handy for what we use them for. We go through a lot of audiobooks :D).

I'm still working for Life Path Hospice doing massage therapy for their patients and caregivers. I love what I do. Because my health is so much better now, I'm basically working full-time for them, as well as doing private pay sessions when I get the opportunity. Starting next week I'm going to be doing some more sewing for my mom's company too. There's only so much cleaning I can do while Tom's working until 10:30 at night, so I figure I may as well find something that pays me to wait for him to get home. We are planning to keep up this crazy pace until the beginning of the summer, and then Tom will get back into school and finish up without having to take out any more student loans :D.

It's nice to have the extra income, because everything we're making during these extra hours can go right into savings or to pay off debt, or even things like glasses and contacts--AMAZING!! Really, though, it's nice not to feel so stretched out after the rough 2007 full of hospital visits and surgery. We're feeling really happy about getting back into the swing of life, and are so excited to go on our trip to California in a few weeks.

Thank you all for your support as we work to try and fulfill our dreams! I'll try to at least post updates and photos of anything we've got going on.
