An author?

Ever since we have decided as a family that my dream of going to law school should be put on the back burner for now, I have been left in a state of confusion. I like to always be working towards something. Right now the CPA exam is looming, but it is more annoying than anything else. I was at work today pondering life with some colleagues when a great idea for a novel came to me. I obviously cannot share this idea (because there are just so many of you that 1. read this 2. want to write a book 3. care, but anyway. Humor me.) just yet, but rest assured I am going to start an outline for the book on my flight to FLORIDA on Saturday morning. That's right: my Mom and I will be soaking up in the sun in Florida for 4 days- woot! I cannot wait to see my Grams, Danielle and her two baby boys!

Jackson is still sick as a dog. I am starting to feel a little bit better. I think that is mainly because I have been so busy at work that I do not have time to do things like blow my nose, cough or swallow. That's a good thing because all of those things cause me great pain right now. I am really starting to like and enjoy my job. I could really do without this whole working full-time thing, but such is life. I definitely thank the Lord everyday for this opportunity. Jackson is adjusting well to his job and should be up to speed in no time!

We found a place to board MacKenzie for Thanksgiving. PTL! It is really the little things in life that mean so much. I feel so relieved to know she will have a place to go while we're in Southern Indiana celebrating with our families. It cost us an arm, a leg and perhaps a kidney (depending on the rates on the black market these days) to get to Indiana for Thanksgiving, but gosh darnit we'll be there!

We still have not nailed down a Christmas vacation plan yet. Jackson keeps wanting me to go on a cruise. Has anyone cruised? I am just not certain that I would like it. Any input you all have would be much appreciated.

I think that catches everyone up on the happenings around here. We both have new cell phone numbers so if you haven't gotten a text about that, let me know.
