Finally some snow!

Well it's was an ugly Christmas...a semi pretty New Year and now finally towards the end of January we get some snow. I can't believe it took this long to get here. It wasn't just a light dusting either it was a dumping of 4 inches over night. Wonderful! I love the snow it could snow for a lot longer, but the only bad thing about snow in Ohio we have discovered is that the don't plow the roads. I don't know what they are thinking, but they leave the roads with tons of snow on them, they don't salt that much, it's a disaster.

Things are going pretty well here. I was able to substitute teach three days last week which was really good. I also found out that I can renew my teaching license without having to take 3 credit hours of class which was really awesome as well. I was in a state of panic when I thought that I had to take a class. See I was getting my license out to make a copy because I'm getting all of my applications ready for the spring for next school year. When I looked at my certificate though it said that it expires on 6-30-12 well, I paid for a two year license so I was a little confused, because technically I had it only for one school year. After talking to the Dept of Education I found that they back dated my license a year because I submitted my application before the new school year date. CRAP! I think it's a good way to get another 160 bucks out of me, but oh well. The lady I talked to was really nice and assured me that I could transfer my two year provisional to a four year without having to take the classes I just have to pay the money (of course!). What can you do I need it to apply for teaching jobs so there it is.

Jason is doing really well. He is almost done with his Pediatrics rotation, and I think he's pretty excited about that. I have to tell this part because I think it's strange. He gets assigned readings to do at night for the next day and sometimes has a little homework assignment. Well this weekend in addition to his reading he has to watch two half hour cartoon shows. Seriously when I was in school I would have loved to have that as my homework. Apparently it is supposed to help him relate to his patients better. I don't know if that's true or not, but we will go with it. Outside of school things are going well for Jason as well. He is now the proud owner of a new TV. We had some friends over for the playoff games last weekend and we realized how small our TV was for the living room so we upgraded to a 50 in which now that it's in the living room we realize is a huge TV, but it will work. So now we have our 32 inch in our bedroom. Speaking of playoffs as many of you know Jason is a huge 49ers fan and I am my proxy so our house has been all a buzz from their recent win. Go 49ers!

Cooper is doing really well. When we came back from Christmas we found out he has allergies and he was put on some medicine to help with it. Well in addition to that we switched his food and shampoo but he still wasn't able to get rid of the redness all the way. The other night Cooper was in his kennel and he ate a hole in his bed I made him for Christmas and ate part of the stuffing. (Don't worry he's ok no vet visit was needed for this emergency). Well after he did that his belly turned bright red and he started getting little spots on it. Turns out he's allergic to the bed! So we took out his bed and the past few days the redness is going away as well as the spots. Ugh this dog is going to be the end of me!

Other than that all is well in our house!
