Catching Up

Well, it's been awhile. So let's recap by month:

February
Matt is now working at Furniture Row. He really likes it and is on the fast track to management. His manager is sure he'll be ready to be promoted in July. When he makes manager he'll be making more than he would in higher ed. Another benefit of the job is we have friends now! We're actually currently at his assistant manager's place playing cards. Well, Matt's playing cards I'm watching--and blogging obviously.
As far as my job: February was very busy. I had to plan two conferences for my students and accompany 15 students to one of them (my colleague went with the other as both conferences were at the same time). I was also injured at Black Student Union's Black Heritage Ball. I still can't feel my finger from repetive pressing of the hot glue gun. I also ripped my lip on a piece of super tape. It's since healed.

March:
I took some vacation time. Mat and I went to Decatur. I'll post pictures at some distant point in the future. This past Tuesday I went up to Chicago to see Pacific folks. The VP for student life was inducted as the new President of NASPA. Pacific also hosted a reception. It was good seeing old friends. I was gonna come back home the same night, but Matt and my former Dean of Students preferred I stay the night. So I crashed at my mentor's hotel room. It was fun cuz it was like a sleep over.

General Updates
Health: Matt is healthy as usual. I was suffering from a bad asthma flare-up, but it's mostly under control.
Pets:Everyone is doing fine. Booboo has started acting up a bit, but he was good today so I hope he's over it.
Future plans: Wedding plans are in partial-swing. I've put in estimate requests for several places. I am currently negotiating cost with the location I really want. I've looked into things for our honeymoon location: Niagara Falls. The wedding is likely going to be in June 2012 in upstate New York. The location I really want is in Albany. This should be interesting planning long distance. I may have to take a couple trips to NY and crash at Mama Waldron's place! :]

Well that is the update. I'll try to do better at updating!
