I am getting tired of starting my blogs with it has been awhile, but it has.
Cade graduated from Harding with his Bachelor's of Science in Health, Kineseology, and Coaching. His teaching licensure is being sent to the state, so he should have it soon for the Kineseology part. He has one more Praxis II test to take to get his Math teaching licensure.
After graduation was Christmas. Let me just say I really missed college life at this point because working Mon - Wed was not fun. Oh well, I am in the real world. We went to Garfield for Christmas to spend it with my family. We went to Oklahoma with Cade's family Christmas Eve to see his grandma who is suffering from lung cancer and undergoing chemo. We went to Oklahoma the day the blizzard was supposed to hit, so we left earlier than planned. We made it home to my family for Christmas Eve. Had a great Christmas with my family Christmas morning and then headed to my grandparents for Christmas lunch at their house. We woke up that morning to 2 inches of snow, but lots of snow drifts. We had an easy time leaving to go to my grandparents, but when Cade and I came back to get his families presents with my dad we got stuck on our drive to the house. Cade's dad came to pick us up so we went to their house to open gifts but had to hurry home before it got dark and the road's started to freeze again. We got to spend our Christmas money on 2 new front tires for my car before we headed home. We also got to stop by and see my Aunt Doloris who is not doing well at all, so it was good to get to see her at least one more time.
Again, let me remind you how much I miss college life because I had to return to work Mon - Wed the week of New Year's. We went to Tyler to stay with Cade's grandparents. We had a wedding to attend on New Year's Day as Zach and Kimberly tied the knot. We had a great visit in Tyler, but got the call on our way home that snow was coming, so we had to be careful and hurry home.
We finally heard back from Coach Huck regarding the football GA position Monday after we got back from Tyler. CADE GOT THE GA POSITION. He is so excited about coaching. It was a long wait but it was well worth it in Cade's eyes.
We finally took our Christmas tree down the middle part of January. The reason it took so long (to keep the comments from rolling in) was because we had allowed Zach and Kimberly to use our spare bedroom where the box that holds all of the Christmas decorations was. Therefore we could not get to the box to put the Christmas stuff up until all of their stuff was gone.
Cade was a little bummed that the Cowboys got beat last week but I was not too upset because I am a FARVE fan and am hoping that they can pull it together and get him another Super Bowl Ring.
Work has been real busy for me with New Year's Resolutions. This too shall pass though. My work schedule changed, so I get off early on Wednesdays which I am really enjoying, especially since Cade started grad school and it seems like between that and the GA position I never see him. He had his first recruiting weekend last weekend and his brother Casey came, so it was a neat experience for Cade. He took me to my first HU Basketball game last Saturday for recruiting weekend.
We have started a small group devo on Wednesday nights with some of our close friends. We are reading the book "Crazy Love" as a group and then discussing it when we meet on Wednesdays. This has really helped me and its only been one week.
Hopefully it won't be as long before I update next.
